We've been there 4 or 5 times in the last two years. It is definitely less crowded Monday through Thursday, but still there are usually 15 to 25 couples there then. The weekends are much busier--more activities, more day visitors. But the weekdays are great if you enjoy just relaxing and enjoying the beautiful surroundings of Desert Sun.

We prefer Mon-Thurs. We like that it's relatively empty and there isn't a lot of action happening, makes it feel even more exclusive to us. Amazing how fast a day can blow by with just your spouse, a book and the warm sun.
PS (get it?), when I say relatively empty, there are probably another 50 people on the property, but spread out among the 3 pools and large grassy area. Only a couple of times have we felt like there were only a few other couples besides us, and that was midweek AND in the off season.

Your best bet is to call the front desk, they'll be able to tell you what the hours of the Oasis Cafe are for the time you'll be visiting. My recollection is that the Cafe has been open for lunch every day, even weekdays, while we've been there during the high season. We're not drinkers, so I don't know if the bar is run separately, but if the Cafe is open the bar has to be too. This link from the DS website I believe is outdated, which is why I think you should call the front desk to be sure. http://www.desertsunresort.com/amenities/restaurant

I wouldn't mind a deserted island to myself, but a hotel would be weird as the social aspect is a key part of the draw for most.

We are long time adventurers to DSR. Unfortunately, the rates have gone up in the past few years. We go, for the most part, elsewhere, only because of cost. Just our thing.

Agree with twowinsny about the great Palm Springs vibe. Just returned from two weeks enjoying the sunny 90 degree weather. Have visited Desert Sun and TerraCotta in the past and enjoyed our visits. Have branched out to staying at the numerous boutique resorts that cater to those 21 and over. Very serene and relaxing. Their pools and spas are open twenty four hours and many have private decks(ie Movie Colony Hotel).These properties have discrete clothing optional use ,especially in the evening. They have a very good price point.We especially enjoyed the PS dining opportunities.We use to go to Braco and enjoyed our visits,but with its closing we have found this to be a very good alternative.
