In this beautiful paradise called Palm Springs there are many luscious resorts to choose from. Every issue of BOI we are exploring some of the most interesting resorts in this desert paradise.

This time we will look at La Posada, one is east and one is west geographically. Both are beautiful and lush with plants and vegetation. La Posada East is located in the exclusive and historic Las Palmas neighborhood. La Posada is quiet, private and secluded, yet conveniently located within walking distance to Palm Springs' popular central village - just minutes from the Palm Springs International Airport and only 2 hours drive from L.A. or San Diego.

La Posada West consists of ten Studios and Guest Rooms wrap around a large sparkling pool and tropical outdoor spa garden framed by the dramatic backdrop of the San Jacinto Mountains. A decor marked by cheerful colors, whimsical artwork and crisp, clean design provides a relaxed and stylish, yet unpretentious comfort. Each room features Saltillo tile floors, central A/C, direct-dial cordless phone w/private answering machine, cable TV/VCR, CD/Radio, iron & ironing board, coffee maker, raised Speakman showerhead, refrigerator (Studios have separate full kitchens complete with blender, microwave, teapot & toaster), and much more.

La Posada's Resorts are pet friendly so you can bring your best friend with you and when you stay at one you can play at both. The front gate key works at both of these clothing optional resorts.
Most resorts have complimentary continental breakfasts, that are amazing, and the hosts are right there having breaky with ya. Some offer lunch too. Again, most resorts have fabulous pools and hot tubs, built into the ground of course and the list of amenities go on and on.

Another great place to stay in Palm Springs is Terrazzo. It is one of the finest resorts for gay men in Palm Springs., and their slogan is "It is all about you."

Leave your cares behind and escape to your Palm Springs gay paradise. Intimate, upscale and friendly. A gay men's hotel where you can relax, rejuvenate and be completely catered to. They are a proud three-time recipient of the Out & About Editor's Choice Award and enjoy the distinctive 4-Palms designation.

It's what sets Terrazzo apart from every other Palm Springs gay resort. They have created an intimate and relaxing 12-room, clothing optional gay men's hotel where you can relax, rejuvenate and be completely catered to, all without busting your budget. They spend a lot time making sure you have exactly what you need to make your stay with them perfect. All amenities, including our wireless high-speed internet, are included with your room rate. The Tortuga del Sol is a wonderful place with a huge turtle that lives right on the property! Soaking in the sun and taking an occasional dip, as if it were a guest. Their mission is to provide its guests with a sense of community and excellence in customer satisfaction. An intimate, relaxing Palm Springs California clothing optional resort that continues to be recognized as the hidden jewel of the desert by the discerning gay traveler. Each room has an object from the owner's home in it to give the rooms a homier feel. Now that's real down home comfort.

They continue to attempt to create and implement innovative opportunities to raise the standards of customer care and hospitality. Tortuga del Sol is proud to be the only gay men's resort in Palm Springs or the U.S.A. to offer its family of guests a "frequent stay" and "guest referral" rewards program!!!

Now, I have never heard of a gay, clothing optional fabulous resort having a frequent stayer program but Tortuga does. The title says it all ­ your continued guest stays rewards you with free nights at their resort. The more you stay at your home away from home ­ the more free nights you earn again and again and again. When your friends and their friends stay at their resort because you told them to do so, you earn more rewards towards future free nights at their resort again and again and again. This is another opportunity for the wonderful folks at Tortuga to show our appreciation to their guests for their continued loyalty and to say thank you!
