explanation

A big birthday for a family member this spring. As an older parent has mobility issues, we are thinking about a Palm Springs or general Palm Desert area getaway for 4 adults, instead of going to Hawaii, which would have been birthday girl's first choice.

Would love to rent a nice resort casita with a private pool, just for the heck of it.

I can't say price is not object, but willing to splurge for a fun time.

Which places would you recommend?

There are plenty of places in Palm Desert - as well as in Palm Springs and the greater Coachella Valley. As far as getting a casita type place - there are fewer of those but just check and check/googling away - and find more of what you want.

Some of them have Casita type clubhouses/covered areas by their pools - so is there something else you require?

explanation

I was looking for a resort with restaurants on site and activities for guests- pools, spa, fitness center, not a private home or condo rental.

Tomsd

Yes, was talking about resorts also, tons of them with plenty of activities.

Start with these Top 10 (at least on one listA) - and if you can't find one that meets your needs - keep on googling.
