Following the introduction of its popular new 5 p.m. Sunday checkout, La Quinta Resort & Club and PGA WEST have introduced an added special benefit for summer weekend travelers.

Between now and August 25, the Palm Springs area resort is offering Friday and Saturday night rates starting at $129 for casita accommodations and $149 for poolside casita locations. The preferred rates currently are available for all weekends prior to Labor Day and present an exceptional opportunity for summer guests to experience the property’s 41 legendary swimming pools.

The 41 Swimming Pools of La Quinta Resort are located just steps from most accommodations and have become a key day and evening destination for vacation travelers. In addition to the lively Main Pool and adult-themed Plunge Pool, La Quinta Resort & Club features swimming pools named in honor of the historic greats of Hollywood, many of whom migrated to the property in its first years. Today’s stars of music, sports and entertainment stars continue to flock to La Quinta Resort, and its swimming pool offering has become an especially coveted guest experience during the annual Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival.

La Quinta Resort’s Bogart and Bacall pools lie conveniently close to one another, while the beloved Hope pool occupies its own secluded compound. Ike’s pool can be found close to oversized accommodations known as Ike’s Suite and Mamie’s Suite, and sparkling settings with names like Gable, Lombard, Garbo and Dietrich form their own easy-to-find cluster not far from the resort’s lively Main Plaza. A lap pool is also available on property, while the stylish, adult Plunge experience provides an all-day party vibe, complete with cabanas, music, DJs, drink specials and bottle service.

The new $129 and $149 summer weekend rates at La Quinta Resort & Club and PGA WEST complement summer weekday starting rates of $99 per night, offering select remaining availability during midweek periods this season. The resort has also created a special Beat the Traffic package providing 50% savings on Thursday or Sunday reservations for guests booking a two-night Friday/Saturday summer stay. All seasonal guests have access to the property’s Hot As Heaven summer offering of day-long Happy Hours, pool parties, dive-in movies, swimming lessons, Kids’ Kamps, kitchen tours, golf and spa specials, nightly child care and more.
