Indian Wells and its attractions for beach lovers

While Indian Wells is renowned for its luxurious resorts and stunning desert landscapes, it lacks direct access to traditional beaches. However, travelers seeking a beach-like experience will find several nearby attractions worth exploring. Just a short drive away, the Coachella Valley offers the picturesque Salton Sea, where families can enjoy picnicking, bird watching, and even water sports on warm sunny days. For a more traditional beach vibe, head to Palm Desert and its sandy beaches along the artificial lakes, perfect for sunbathing or building sandcastles with the kids. Adventure seekers can also explore the nearby Joshua Tree National Park, where unique rock formations invite hiking and climbing. Additionally, the Indian Wells Tennis Garden hosts various events, including the renowned BNP Paribas Open, making it a lively spot for sports enthusiasts. When choosing accommodations, opt for the luxurious hotels along the Indian Wells Golf Resort, where you can unwind at pools that mimic beachside relaxation, and enjoy attentive service that meets high expectations.

8/10 Good
"The lobby and pool area were nice, but the hallway and room need an update. The walls have a lot of paint defects and the flooring down the hall is laminate which made it loud when people walked down the hall. The door to the back parking lot was unlocked at all times and anyone could just walk in without a keycard needed. That seems unsafe to me. My room smelled like moth balls when I walked in and there was a used facial makeup pad on the floor in the corner. There was a hairball in the shower and the sheets on one of the beds were wrinkled and looked like someone had slept in them and it didn’t get changed. The other bed in the room looked like it had clean sheets on it so I slept in that one. The furniture in the room is pretty old and the chair cushions were dingy looking. I checked in kind of late at night and when I went to take a shower, there were no bath towels in the bathroom only hand towels. I had to go get them from the front desk. There are also no towels in the pool area, and you have to get them and return them at the front desk as well. I was in town for a conference and really just needed a place to sleep at night. I only went to the pool for a short time 1 day but enjoyed the pool area. The smell in my room was the biggest downside for me. The front desk staff were nice though. As long as the other rooms don’t smell like the one I had, I guess I would stay here again for the price."
