This is a tough economic climate to be in the hotel business. Sadly so many people have lost money in the stock market or lost their jobs and can't afford to vacations this year.
Now a days, people won't travel anymore just so they can brag to their friends that they vacationed for instance at some overpriced resort in the Caribbean or Mexico like people did a few years ago when the market was up. People now have to really WANT to vacation at resorts. And they want value!
This means most people now vacation only in the US for value. And nudists especially no longer go to the Caribbean or Mexico and stay at the overpriced nude resorts there owned by non nudists. Nudists now all want to stay at our resort, The Terra Cotta Inn in sunny Palm Springs, CA.
We have found that instead of our occupancy rate going down like other nudist resorts and Palm Springs hotels, it has gone up in 2008.
Last year at our resort, The Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa, we were up 5.85% in sales. We were told that we were the ONLY established hotel in Palm Springs that had increased sales in 2008.
Now, we have always been the most popular nudist vacation resort in the western US. And have had the 2nd highest occupancy rate of ALL hotels in town (only the Indian casino hotel beat us). I don't write that to brag (although we are very proud of that fact), but most people vacationing at nudist resorts are social and they like to chat with other people. So they need to make sure that potential guests don't make a mistake and book midweek or a week at a time at a nude weekend getaway instead of our resort.
We are the ONLY nudist resort in the western US that is busy 7 days a week, year round instead of just weekends like typical nude places out west.
Sadly here in Palm Springs, hotel occupancy and sales are down. Here is the story from our local newspaper, the Desert Sun.
"Palm Springs hotel taxes down 18 percent
The city of Palm Springs' hotel taxes were down 18 percent in January, according to a monthly analysis provided by the city...
In December, hotel taxes were down 20 percent and in November, they were down nearly 18 percent."

So if you are coming to Palm Springs midweek or for a week or longer, we are the perfect clothing optional resort for you to go nude sunbathing at. If you are coming for just a Saturday night because you don't have any vacation days left at work, then there are other weekend nude places for you to stay at and we will be happy to make referral.
Next year when you have more vacation time off of work, and want a fun vacation, we are the perfect resort for you.
Give us a call at 800-786-6938 to make reservations or for availability.
