Our local newspaper, The Desert Sun recently carried an article about hotel discounts that local resorts and hotels are offering. We have always wanted to get the extra free publicity by listing discounts, but we have found that it is difficult because we are considered one of the best value resorts in all Palm Springs and have never overcharged our guests. Thus, we can't discount back to normal rates.
For instance, the Desert Sun article about one resort wrote about how that resort felt so bad for their customers in these trying economic times that they were discounting their massages by 30%. They got about 5 column inches in the Desert Sun. However, their regular rate for a 50 minute Swedish massage was back breaking $125. Even with their so called sale of 30% off, it brings their massage rates to $84/50 minutes. We have always offered a full hour massage to our guests for just $80/hour.
And according to examiner.com we are one of the top ranked spas in Palm Springs for massage. So basically they gave free pr because they used to price gouge and now have reasonable rates.
We can't discount our rates because they have always been extremely fair. That is why we have one of the highest occupancy rates of all hotels in Palm Springs.
One hotel listed their rates at $549/night to a "discount" of $199/night. The funny thing is I bet year round that place sells their rooms for $199/night or less. I bet no one has ever paid $549, yet they try to pretend they are a great bargain as they are over 50% off rack rates.
So be aware of phony discounts and sales and scams in the hotel industry this year as everyone is looking for bargains and deals.
Our resort, The Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa has always been the best value nudist resort not just in Palm Springs, but the whole US, and we intend to stay that way.
So if you have always wanted to try topless or nude sunbathing, we are the perfect resort. We are considered the most mainstream clothing optional resort in the US and are perfect for couples trying nude sunbathing for the first time.
