Agree with that recommendation
for buildings 1400 or 1500. They are the units in closest proximity to the main pool. They also face to the west, giving you a east facing balcony/patio which I feel is best due to the late afternoon heat. Buildings are 3 levels, with elevators, so personal perferences would determine if you would like to be ground floor or higher. I prefer the ground floor units at the Villages as they give you some access to a bit of lawn. All buildings have nice grill areas also.
The resort is a absolutely beautiful setting and is one of my favorite ownership properties. We are currently here this week but are staying at the newer Enclaves units for the first time.
As far as other things to do a couple of suggestions would be as follows:
The Tram (if available. Heard that it is closed for repair, but not sure what the timetable is).
Thursday's Villagefest street fair on Palm Canyon drive in downtown Palm Springs- just spent last night there ourselves. Suggest Las Casuelas Terrazo Mexican restaurant, patio/outside seating, and listening to the live music then enjoying the street fair and all the displays.
We also checked out Temecula Wine Country this trip. We drove ourselves about 70 miles, but tour buses are available. There are approximately 30 wineries in the area. Harvest is in season and wine tasting was available at all that we visited.
It's a great area and a really nice resort. You should have a great time!! :whoopie:
make a reservation at Roy's in Rancho Mirage (about a 15 min. drive). He has restaurants in Hawaii and elsewhere.
