INNdulge

A sociable Warm Sands resort for gay men: breakfast, a nightly social hour, weekend pool parties, and a 24-hour pool and 12-person hot tub. It is about a 15–20 minute walk from Arenas Road.

INNdulge suits gay men who want to meet people: solo travelers, friends and couples who like a sociable pool. The trade-off is that it is livelier and, by one recent account, more dated than the quiet luxury resorts. Choose The Hacienda nearby if you want calm and space instead.

Who stays here

Visit Palm Springs describes INNdulge as a “clothing-optional gay men’s resort.” Its own tagline is “Stay where the social crowd stays.” INNdulge’s website doesn’t spell out an admission policy, so contact the resort before booking if you’re not a man.

The social structure is built in:

  • daily continental breakfast;
  • an evening social hour;
  • weekend pool parties.

Recent reviewers repeatedly mention the friendly crowd and the happy hour.

Pool, rooms and extras

The saltwater pool (heated or chilled with the season) and the 12-person jacuzzi are both open 24 hours.

Room types are Exterior Room, One Bedroom Suite, and Deluxe and Superior rooms, each offered with or without a pool view. Rooms have air conditioning and Wi-Fi. A June 2026 reviewer’s Pool View Deluxe room came with basic kitchen equipment, including small appliances and utensils.

The resort also lists guest laundry, outdoor misters and complimentary access to a local gym.

Booking

Reservations run through an external booking system (eviivo). In October 2026 the resort advertised a free Wednesday night with a seven-night stay, applied after booking.

We did not find published nightly rates, fees or cancellation terms on the official site; check them in the booking engine before you pay.

Where it is

The address is 601 S Grenfall Road, in Warm Sands.

  • Arenas Road bars: about 0.9 miles by road, a 15–20 minute walk.
  • Palm Canyon Drive at Tahquitz Canyon Way: about 1.2 miles.
  • Palm Springs airport (PSP): about 2.4 miles.

A recent reviewer called the walk downtown short and pleasant.

What recent guests say

Tripadvisor showed 679 reviews averaging 4.7 in October 2026: 570 excellent, 72 good, 16 average, 13 poor and 8 terrible. Recent volume is thin; only four of the ten newest reviews are from 2026.

Those four were three five-star reviews and one four-star review. They praised:

  • the relaxed, social atmosphere;
  • the jacuzzi;
  • breakfast and happy hour;
  • clean grounds.

The four-star review, from June 2026, called the resort “a little dated,” said the air conditioning struggled, and described a quiet, “empty” feel during that stay. Older reviews in the sample, back to 2022, follow the same positive themes.

How it compares

Choose Vista Grande instead for a larger classic Warm Sands resort. Choose Casa Oliver if you want day-pass crowds and pool parties every week. Choose Santiago for a sociable but calmer pool with lunch included; it is outside Warm Sands, about 1.2 miles by road from Arenas Road. If you’re traveling alone, see the solo-travel guide.
