Frommer's Review
A luxury resort amid citrus trees, towering palms, cacti, and desert flowers at the base of the Santa Rosa Mountains, La Quinta is the place to be if you're serious about golf or tennis. The resort is renowned for its five championship golf courses -- including one of California's best, Pete Dye's PGA West TPC Stadium Course. All guest rooms are in single-story, Spanish-style buildings throughout the grounds. Each has its own patio and access to one of several dozen small pools, enhancing the feeling of privacy at this retreat. Some units have a fireplace or Jacuzzi. The tranquil lounge and library in the original hacienda hearken back to the early days of the resort, when Clark Gable, Greta Garbo, Frank Capra, and other luminaries chose La Quinta as their hideaway. The resort includes Spa La Quinta, a Mission-style complex with more than 35 treatment rooms for every pampering luxury.
Facilities: 5 restaurants; 3 bars (2 featuring entertainment); 41 outdoor pools; 53 Jacuzzis; 23 outdoor tennis courts (10 lit); full-service spa; bike rental; children's programs; concierge; business center; room service; laundry service; pets welcome (fee).
