Construction notice

The Desert Color community is a growing resort with new homes and amenities under construction. Some daytime construction noise may occur during normal business hours. Please stay clear of any clearly marked active work zones.
Please do not set the pool heater above 88 degrees - We feel like 88 degrees is a great pool temperature for all ages year-round. We monitor the pool heater and there will be an extra pool-heating charge if we find guests have turned it up beyond that.
