That’s where you’ll find the stunning sapphire-tiled pool and breathtaking views of the world famous San Jacinto Mountains, huge shaded lounge pods, BBQ, and a dreamy grass-roof palapa over a long table for year-round al fresco dining. Or grab a good book and head to the private backyard draped in jasmine for respite beneath the orange tree.
