It is not all about relaxing...Palm Desert has some of the most fun nightlife experiences, amazing restaurants, unique shopping, and great people watching ever! El Paseo (Palm Desert's own Rodeo Drive) is usually the first stop. We love Armando's for lunch (watch out for the margaritas..they are strong!), Tommy Bahamas restaurant has a great atmosphere, as does Pacifica. Roc's Firehouse has moved to Cook Street, but still has great food and a party atmosphere. Karaoke is fun on Thursdays and live music on weekends. Morton's "Power Hour" in the bar is fun too. The Marriott Desert Springs has a wonderful new Spa complete with hot tubs, pool, lounging, and poolside food and beverage service. so beautiful and relaxing!
