Welcome to the 5th installment of the Resort Report. 

This time we are heading to the south end of Palm Springs to a unique treasure of  a resort  quite aptly  named  “La Dolce Vita”, which of course is Italian for “The Sweet Life”. One only has to step through the entrance  of this resort to see just how perfect the name fits. The first thing you notice at the front gate is the fantastic backdrop of the San Jacinto Mountains towering behind the walls of this beautifully  landscaped property. This  20 room gay men’s resort  is the creation of  owners Ken Stabins and Tim Phillips. Ken, who originally hails from Rochester, New York and Tim, from Los Angeles moved to Palm Springs in 2005 with the vision of bringing the “Sweet Life” to Palm Springs. After closing the resort for a couple of weeks ( and giving the whole place an “extreme makeover” ) the resort opened on Valentine’s Day of 2005. Guests are pampered with the numerous amenities featured in the many poolside rooms.

Among these are hard wood floors, French doors which open to private cabanas, patios,air-conditioning, ceiling fans, TV/VCR’s, refrigerators, microwaves, free local calls, direct dial phones, and wireless internet access,  and Aveda Bath Products

  The suites contain full kitchens, and living rooms with either King or Queen-sized Beds.  All the rooms are smoke free, however there is plenty of outside smoking areas throughout the resort. For those of you who can’t leave the “Kids” behind there are “Pet Friendly Suites”. 

   Whether you want to cool off in one of the 2 pools, work out in the state of the art outdoor gym, or relax in the steam room or 1 of the 2 Jacuzzis located throughout the grounds then this is the place for you! 

So come and visit us and get a taste of the “Sweet Life” at 

La Dolce Vita!
