The Pool at Parker Palm Springs

"There are two pools, one for adults and one for families"

"You can find relaxation around the pools, if nowhere else—pulsating music fills the air throughout the resort—and comfy nooks are scattered throughout the gardens"

"Guests, if you spot them, lean toward young aesthetes happy to sip mimosas on the patio or crowd the adults-only pool (which is not the cleanest), sneakily checking to see who's looking at them"

"The 144-room upscale property offers a host of cool features, including two outdoor pools and an indoor pool, a croquet lawn, petanque courts, clay tennis courts, and a full-service spa"

"With "ocean of serenity" as its theme and 16,500 square feet of indoor treatment rooms (19), outdoor rooms (two), a separate pool for men and women, sauna and hammam, it is easy to find a way to purify your body and spirit"

"The PSYC Spa and its Moroccan-themed indoor pool (no kids allowed) are the ideal sanctuary for whiling away a rainy afternoon with the hotel’s signature Pimm’s Cup in hand"

"Winding footpaths take you around the beautiful grounds, where you can take a dip in one of the saline pools or sit for a while by the firepit"

"There's a fire pit for marshmallows, a pool set to exactly 98"

"There are three saltwater swimming pools, four clay tennis courts, bocce ball, croquet and an oversized chess board"

"Getting too hot by the pool? It’s usually about 30 degrees cooler at the top of the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway (in winter it even snows)"
