Over the past several years I have been able to pick up an inexpensive getaway to one of the Marriotts in Palm Desert. This year there are no august weeks in Getaways yet. Seems strange since there are june and July. Does anyone know why that may be?

Hi Slomac,
Perhaps they just added some getaways, but at the moment (1:35 p.m. PST), I see availability during August in Palm Springs. Good luck!

Early to bed and early to rise in Palm Springs summertime.

Yup, the weather in Vegas is similar to Palm Springs. There are a number of ways to handle the heat:
- acclimate (go out in the heat everyday for an hour and you just get used to it)
- relax by the pool (don't forget the sunscreen)
- spend more time indoors in a/c
- enjoy the early mornings

And as they say, "it's a dry heat" so it's more tolerable.

We too go to the Marriott during the summer every year. We love the heat. Hit the pool early in the am and then head indoors around lunch time. We usually go out to dinner so that's indoors. Then back to the pool in the evening until about 9:00. Love it. The kids absolute love it. We've only stayed in the Enclave units and have been happy each time.

Construction is done


We were at Shadow Ridge last week and the construction is done (for the time being). A week ago they opened the three new Enclave buildings. They have more construction phases planned for the future but nothing definite at this time.

I saw a bunch of storage containers on the street in the Villages section, but perhaps that is for remodeling/refurbing.
