There are many opportunities for parents to have alone time while the kids are soaking up every last moment of summer fun. In fact, there are so many things to do, the hardest part might be trying to squeeze it all in one visit. Don’t worry, you can always come back!
The Westin Mission Hills Golf Resort & Spa
Pinz and Pints at Westin Mission Hills Golf Resort & Spa is the perfect place to keep the entire family entertained. The kids can play duckpin bowling on the 4-lane bowling alley, while the parents taste test the variety of beers on tap at the microbrewery style bar. Families can also enjoy classic arcade games, and brewpub food to keep bellies full and comfy couches to sink into and relax.
Hyatt Regency Indian Wells Resort & Spa
The Hyatt Regency Indian Wells Resort & Spa has multiple outdoor pools and a splash pad to cool off. Depending on your poolside mood, there is an option for everyone!
For the more adventurous pool-goer, spend your time at HyTides Plunge Waterpark! You’ll find side-by-side dueling waterslides that launch guests from a third-floor tower down into a crystal blue pool. The spiral 30-foot-long slides, fittingly named The Rattler and The Sidewinder, make for some friendly waterslide competition.
If floating around is more your style, grab a floaty and let the current take you away through the 450-foot Desert Twist Lazy River that weaves and winds.
JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa
The posse of pink Chilean Flamingos that greet you near the resort’s entrance makes you feel like you’re in paradise. It also sets the tone for the plethora of activities you are walking into.
The JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa resort has four pools for splashing around and sunbathing. If you’re in the mood for some friendly family competition, try croquet, lawn bowling, horseshoes or the mini-putting course. If you want to step it up a notch, find basketball action on their half-court NCAA basketball court. There are also yoga and fitness classes so the family can stay fit together.
After a day of activity, take a gondola ride along the resort’s vast waterways that wind around the resort and feature breathtaking vistas of the property and surrounding mountains.
Don’t forget the JW Entertainment Zone, full of new and retro arcade games. The kids can win prizes while the parents revive their 80s video game skills.
Omni Rancho Las Palmas
If maximum pool fun is key, then Splashtopia at Omni Rancho Las Palmas in Rancho Mirage is where you’ll want to be.
Lowkey relaxation seekers can float along the 425-foot lazy river, while those who want a bit more of a rush can zoom down two huge 100-foot water slides that weave through and end with guests out the side of a faux mountain.
There’s also a water play zone with fountains and sprinklers for splashing around, a cliff-side jacuzzi and a sandy beach for tropical beach vibes. For the parents, soak under the sun at the secluded adults-only Azure Pool, where you can enjoy the breathtaking views accompanied by a peaceful atmosphere.
If you get hungry or thirsty throughout the day, try the Splash Grill for refreshing tropical drinks and tasty poolside bites.
