Resort Experience:
Our very first impression of the Palm Springs Tennis Club was quite good. Its location, set against the base of the San Jacinto Mountains, was spectacular. It is well maintained and kept up to par with furnishings and amenities.
Our unit is in an area across the street from the main building. The area is actually made up of a number of cottage units varying in size from studio to two bedrooms. Included in this area are two pools and three large spas. Also a free laundry room is located within this area. The accommodations across the street in the main building are made up of studio and one-bedroom units, some of which are mountain view.
We are staying in one of the 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom units, called a Wimbledon Unit. The master bedroom is very large with room for not only a king size bed and other expected furnishings but also a nice stuffed chair.
The second bedroom contains twin beds, and an ample size closet. Both bathrooms have a bathtub and single sink. The living room contains a comfortable sofa that converts into a queen size bed.
The kitchen has all the items necessary to cook a meal and all the appliances are in excellent condition. This unit has a very large private patio with a table and four chairs and beautiful views of the mountains.
The entertainment for this unit includes a television in the living room and in each bedroom, all with remote control, a VCP in the living room and clock radios in each bedroom. We did not have a CD/tape player or stereo unit. Local telephone calls, within an approximate 12 mile radius, are free of charge. Telephones can be found in the living room as well as both bedrooms. A ceiling fan in the dining room helps to keep the temperature cool, especially in the summer when the air conditioner is working overtime. Housekeeping will come by each day and empty the trash and they do a mid-week linen change.
For those needing to stay in touch with family and friends or perhaps do some work, there is a computer set up in the lobby area that has internet capability. I noticed some usage, but it was not overly busy. In addition to the computer, the lobby and the mezzanine area just above the lobby are WI-FI active. I took my laptop to both locations and got a very good, fast connection. The signal is also very good from the street in front of the lobby.
The resort offers a tremendous amount of things to do on a daily basis. For example, on Saturday they offered Continental Breakfast, sand candle making activity, flower pot painting, ping pong, afternoon movie, ice cream social, bingo and some time for a get together to meet your neighbors. These types of activities go on all week long. A daily activity schedule is left on the door of each unit in the afternoon, for the following day’s activities.
- Unit Type: 2 Bedroom
