Most of the kids seemed to congregate at the smaller of the two pool decks, but both were a constant source of fun. Although this may sound like an adult-focused party property, we found plenty of families here, too. One of the newer lodging options is the Margaritaville Resort Palm Springs, which is built around two extensive, resort-style pools, which were always humming with activity. The vibe at Santiago isn’t sexually charged like at some resorts we’ve been to in other cities instead, it’s relaxed, fun and luxe. Both it and lunch are included simply text your order (which comes from a local sandwich shop) to the front desk, and it magically appears at the appointed time. A basket of free snacks is provided in each room, and a 24-hour cantina offers free beverages-from soft drinks to bottled water to a fancy coffee machine.īreakfast here is a higher-end continental style, with plenty of offerings, from sinful to healthy. Rooms are well-appointed and tasteful, and the food is superb, as well. We almost felt like movie stars ourselves while lounging at the pool at this clothing-optional gay men’s resort. Although located in a neighborhood, the resort’s all-encompassing two-story hedges afford a sense of privacy and exclusivity. The Santiago Resort, less than a mile south of the city center, is a blissful getaway with unbelievable views of the mountains. No Mirage, Palm Springs Is a Queer Paradise | TravelPulse
