The lobby has high ceilings with wrought-iron chandeliers and windows with shutters and faux-Juliet balconies, along with funky furnishings including a bright yellow floral rug and lime green upholstered furniture. All restaurants and common areas are modern and bright at this refined, peaceful property.
Location
Off a busy road, close to the airport
The Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort and Spa is located off busy Bob Hope Drive a few minutes from I-10 and about a 20-minute drive to the Palm Springs airport.

Rooms
Elegant-rustic design with views of the manicured grounds
The 444 rooms and 22 suites at the Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort and Spa are luxurious in an understated way. They are decorated in neutrals, with a beige and cream patterned rug and plush white comforters on the beds. Light wood furniture and dark accents give the rooms an elegantly rustic feel. All rooms have flat-screenTVs, coffeemakers, snack trays (though snacks are on the expensive side), irons and ironing boards, and hair dryers. Noise from surrounding rooms can seep through thin walls. Rooms overlook the golf course or can be near the pool and have balconies. The Executive Suite has pops of aqua and lime green in the furniture and artwork. The marble bathrooms have curtained shower/tub combos and the suites have stall showers and double vanities.

The 27-hole golf course is the main amenity, while Splashtopia runs a close second.

All of this is surrounded by a 450-foot lazy river and is served by the Splash Grill. Other family-friendly amenities include an arcade with a pool table, table tennis, air hockey, old-fashion video games, and pinball machines. There are also 25 tennis courts, including eight lit for night play. The resort’s bluEmber restaurant serves California cuisine and there’s usually live music out front. The elegant spa has a soothing aqua color scheme and its own private pool area. A large business center has Apple computers and there are several meeting spaces. The resort allows pets less than 50 pounds in certain buildings for an extra fee. A boutique sells resort wear and fashionable apparel and the Pool Shop has bathing suits and pool toys.
