I was excited to be in the desert for an entire week. Contrary to most people, it’s rare that I actually go on vacation to relax as there’s always some obligatory sightseeing involved. The drive from L.A. to Palm Springs was nothing short of gorgeous. It’s interesting for an East-coaster like me to see the landscape change so drastically from beach to jutting mountains with cacti and tumbleweed. I made sure to take loads of photos all the way until the famous check-in point at the windmills of P.S..

Hells to the yeeeeeeeeawwwhs! A photo posted by JenzieInTheCity (@jenzieinthecity) on May 4, 2016 at 12:27pm PDT

They are sort of majestic… Can’t deny there is also something slightly eerie about them. They look like they’ve been placed there by aliens.

As we entered the city of Palm Springs, all of the little terracotta roofed buildings greeted us with their Mexican-influenced charm! It was hard to believe that a hot desert city like this was infiltrated mainly by “cotton tops” and retirees.

The ACE hotel & Swim Club would be our home for the next four days. Guests instantly notice this big sign they like to post ironic quotes on. Much like the windmills, this too is plastered all over social media.

We quickly toured the campus after a map was given to us by concierge upon check-in. Spa treatments were booked at the Feel Good Spa and we were finally off to our room!

This is what you get (pictured above). It’s a basic room but it has all you could ever want or need including a giant stick. We finally realized its purpose after a few items got lost under the California-King mattress. ***Go-go gadget arm!***

It was finally time to assume our position.

This would be our view for the days ahead. Just try and get sick of that!

Life at ACE consists of waking up to an amazing breakfast menu at the diner, or grabbing a delicious coffee to-go from the Stumptown Coffee Roasters . On the daily, one moseys out to the pool to pick a spot and lathers up with freshly purchased $30.00 Sun Bum-sunblock . By noon you’re peckish (which is when you flag down one of their very attractive staff members to show you their cocktail list with drinks available by the pitcher). You order the pitcher, because those $8.00 beverages add up quickly. After the first pitcher is finished, it’s time for snacks. You keep it simple on day one with some chips and salsa and roasted shishito peppers sprinkled with sea salt. You might even feel the sudden urge to seek shelter in the shade for a bit, so you go try on bathing suits conveniently sold at the Feel Good Spa’s kiosk. You purchase one because… For some odd reason they just make you feel a little cooler.

The thing is, you haven’t really had breakfast…Who really wants to sit pool-side after a tall stack of pancakes or chicken waffles? The thing is, you haven’t really had breakfast…Who really wants to sit pool-side after a tall stack of pancakes or chicken waffles?

Funny things start to happen since you’re hydrating on cocktails and only eating tortilla chips and peppers.

All good. ACE’s AMIGO ROOM has plenty of beverages to keep you hydrated all night long too.
