The hype
Travelers obsess over the pool vibe and the landscaping, calling it a 'perfect couples getaway.'
Colony Palms Hotel
$250-450 / nit
Reserva-ho si You want a seductive, adults-only hideaway that feels like a 1930s speakeasy with a 24-hour pool.
Per Què Agrada Tant
- Strict 18+ policy ensures the pool area is actually tranquil
- The 65-foot saltwater pool is open 24 hours (a rarity in Palm Springs)
- Steve Hermann's design feels like a movie set—Spanish Colonial meets Moroccan glam
Vista ràpida: A stunningly designed sanctuary that charges you for every breath you take, including a rare 'per person' resort fee.
Revisat per @imsoeunique: I needed a desert escape and this spot delivered. The gardens felt like a secret oasis and waking up to that mountain view was unreal. If you want a romantic vibe that feels like Old Hollywood, this is it. My new favorite staycation spot.
