JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa, Palm Desert, CA

Choose from five pools at this Palm Desert, California, resort, including a saltwater spa pool and dedicated kids’ pool. The main heated “Oasis” pool is the hub of the action, though, flanked by two additional pools (including one just for laps) and surrounded by a network of lakes, rolling green golf courses, and palm tree-lined walkways. The superb desert sunsets—and frequent flamingo sightings—add on to the surreal effect.
