ONCE APRIL IS UNDERWAY, and the stages are going up, up, up at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, and people around Southern California, and all of California, and places beyond California are shoring up their travel plans, it can accurately be stated that, yes, festival season in the desert has arrived. That's when the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival rolls out, with an expansive and iconic spirit, over two weekends, followed by Stagecoach and all of the country-big luminaries. To cater to the desert visitors who'll be calling upon one or both music spectaculars, a number of properties line up the special happenings, the sweet perks, the ya-gotta-try-this stuff, in short. La Quinta Resort & Club, in the city of La Quinta, not only is the spot with alllll of those pools — there are 41 in all — yes, 41, which seems like it should be typed twice — but it has a few fun extras in store for those guests bedding down at the history property during a festival weekend. Look to the...
GOURMET BREAKFAST BURRITO BAR, which includes vegetarian, vegan, and paleo options for purchase, and the Caffeination Station, which will offer "superfood mushroom-infused blends from Four Sigmatic" for sale, in addition to more traditional coffees, lattes, and teas. There's a hair-mazing area, where you can have your tresses done up in a space bun, or top knot, or a selection of braids (the prices range from $20 to $40), and the COOLA Cooling Station, which'll be located at the adults-only pool, is offering "complimentary sprays of chilled COOLA sunscreen to all guests" as well as "... flower crowns to those who purchase a bottle of sunscreen." Are you planning a La Quinta idyll during a festival weekend in 2018? Will you be there from April 13 to 15 or April 20 to 22, for Coachella, or from April 27 through 29 for Stagecoach? Be sure to ask about the festival-fun extras listed above, as well as the spa specials, including a pair of 5-minute beauty treatments, going on during your stay.
