Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa

Why We Like It

The Splashtopia water park makes it a great bet for families, plus the impressive tennis courts and golf course are fun for (some) adults. It’s a wonderland for the kids, but adults will appreciate all the thoughtful touches, amenities, and the world-class service.

Fodor's Expert Review

With a central valley location that makes it easy to access attractions throughout the Coachella Valley, the 240-acre Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa is well situated (and well-appointed). Families will appreciate all the kid-friendly amenities, like three pools, a lazy river, and water slides, plus the Omni Kids Crew activity pack. There’s also a pop-up dinner series with themed events and seasonal offerings.

Room

Rooms have an upscale hacienda feel. For couples seeking to connect, the spaces, with their bold fireplaces, evoke southwest romance. For families, the cozy, welcoming beds and warm, vibrant pops of color feel like a desert escape. Choices abound at the Omni, so guests can select their view (mountain vistas, lake, pool), size (room or suite), and needs (ADA accessible, pet-friendly).

Bathroom

Options vary depending on room type, but all bathrooms are well-appointed, comfortably sized, and include spacious vanities.

Lobby

The building looks like a palatial hacienda and the lobby mashes Spanish mission details like exposed beam ceilings and iron light fixtures with modern furniture and accents in bold, bright colors. There’s an interior fireplace and an outdoor plaza.

Pool

The impressive Splashtopia water park stretches across almost two acres and, with a lazy river and two waterslides, provides outdoor fun geared towards the whole family. The stylish Azure Pool is an adults-only space and there’s also a Spa Pool, open only to spa guests, that plays music underwater.

Spa

More than 50 spa treatments, ranging from mani/pedis to body wraps to facials to seasonal services and salon packages, are offered. All aromatherapy essential oils are derived from native California plants and extracts.

Gym

It wouldn’t be Palm Springs without golf and tennis and the Omni hosts a 27-hole golf course and 24 tennis courts. The fitness center is open 24-hours and includes cardio equipment and free weights, as well as specialty Startrac steppers and other Cybex brand equipment. Yoga is offered twice and week and guests can opt to add on a “fitness membership” for unlimited access to spa facilities, pool, the fitness club, and all fitness classes.

Dining

Several restaurants and cafes are housed within the resort. The Splash Grill provides poolside snacks, kids’ meals, and the kind of drinks you put a tiny umbrella in. The Palms Cafe, also casual, delivers breakfast in addition to sandwiches and brick-oven pizzas. For upscale sit-down and patio dining, Blu Ember is California and New American fare with ambient live entertainment in the evenings.

Drinking

R Bar serves beers, burgers, and cocktails in a masculine, sports bar setting.
