Vacation Tip

If you plan to play golf, remember to book your tee times before you go. Check with La Quinta Resort for advanced reservations. Rates for tee times range from $50 to $235, depending on the season. Also, remember to check the weather before you go. Temperatures can be quite high in the desert, especially in the summer. From June to September average maximum daily temperatures are over 100 degrees F.

Best Time to Go & Getting There

Because of high temperatures in the summer, the best time to go is between November and April. La Quinta Resort is located 120 miles east of Los Angeles. If you fly, the Palm Springs International Airport is 30 minutes from the resort. To get from the airport to the hotel, you can take a taxi or arrange a limousine pickup with one of the many local car services.
