Fun Activities
Palm Springs is a terrific destination with so many fun activities — here are some highlights that we strongly recommend:
Chill / relax — enjoy lounging by the pool, soaking up the sun and positive energy
Cocktail vibe - have a smart drink to start or end your evening at Seymour’s or Paul’s Bar
Dine out - great restaurants abound - we recommend eating outdoors in the back area at Eight4Nine.
Enjoy a delicious brunch with a view - Escena and Farm are favorites

Gamble - check out Aqua Caliente in Rancho Mirage (they have a wonderful concert venue there too)
