Terra Cotta Inn is the best value resort in Palm Springs


I was just reading on cheaptickets.com where some hotels were bragging that they were a great value because they were less than $5000/week this summer for a couple. I laughed when I saw that. Those hotels have no idea what good value means!

To our guests $5000/week is extremely expensive. And our guests are very upscale. At our resort, The Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa, we pride ourselves on not only being the best value nudist resort in North America (if not the world), but also in being the best value hotel of ALL hotels in Palm Springs.

This is one of the reasons why we have over a 75% repeat guest rate with couples from around the world that stay with us. We have one of the highest repeat guest rates in the whole travel industry.

We are also the ONLY nudist resort west of the Mississippi that caters to couples on vacation that go topless or nude sunbathing.

We have the 2nd highest occupancy rate of ALL hotels in Palm Springs. Only the Indian casino hotel has a higher occupancy rate.

For instance let's look at the summer at prices. In July and August, our rates for one of our regular deluxe rooms (which is nicer than many other places kitchen suites, as we were originally built as a celebrity resort by the famous architect Albert Frey). They are $859/couple per week. With room tax, the rooms are $958/week. We include complimentary breakfast and afternoon snacks everyday not just weekends like many hotels since they are empty midweek.

We use a local restaurant that has great food at reasonable rates to cater lunches. You could easily have lunch for only $10-15/couple/day. So that is another about
$100/week for lunch or now $1059. With all the great airfare sales, you should be able to fly here in the US for less than $300/person. We will use an example of
$500/couple for airfare. Now you are at $1559/week.

For dinners, the National Restaurant Association says the average bill with tip and one drink is $50/couple. So that is an additional $350/week. Now you are at
$1909/couple/week.

That is less than $1000/person/week. There are NO OTHER resorts in the US that deliver that kind of value.

This is what else we give our guests. We have invested in a state of the art salt water pool and jacuzzi. Once you have been in a salt water pool, you will never want to be in a chlorine pool again. We have free wifi. We have free airport pick up and drop off. We have top of the line Sealy beds. Us and the Ritz Carlton are the ONLY 2 hotels in Palm Springs that have invested in a state of the art poolside cooling system (and the Ritz Carlton is closed right now for upgrades).

Our breakfast is fantastic as it is served buffet style and is very high quality. For instance all of the fruit we serve is restaurant grade fruit, not from the grocery store.

We have a free DVD/VCR library. All rooms have DVD/VCR players. All rooms have refrigerators and microwaves. Plus we have rooms with fully functioning kitchens so if you want to cook your own meals, you can save even more money. We serve complimentary Godiva brand coffee in the rooms and a complimentary Starbucks blend in the lobby.

Our regular rooms are 300 sq ft and our kitchenette rooms are 500 sq ft. So you are very comfortable in our rooms as they are larger than most in this price range.

Finally, we are considered the most mainstream nudist resort in American and are perfect for couples trying topless or nude sunbathing for the first time.
