Will you have a car? In 5 weeks, you will probably want to drive elsewhere for a day.

Will not have a car, will be using buses and cabs.

5 weeks in the desert w/o no car?

Here is the bus service http://www.sunline.org/schedules

I think you need a car. There are lots of nice places for day-trips but you can't take a bus or a cab. I don't even know if there are many cabs in Palm Desert.

Its really hard to get around the desert without a car. Everything is very spread out. For example, to go from our timeshare unit at the Marriott to the nearest grocery store is a mile. To get to the nearest Denny's is 4 miles. All that's in between are housing developments and resorts.

The bus services are very infrequent. Like once an hour. And you're staying in an area of PD with few services.

I would reconsider not renting a car. Or change to a more central location.
