This is our second time to Lawrence Welk (1st time for Spring Break, 1-1/2 yrs ago; this time for Thanksgiving break) and we had a great trip both times. In fact, even though we've stayed at more upscale places in Palm Springs (like the 2-bdrm timeshares at Marriott Shadow Ridge), we actually prefer it here, bcse it's a smaller, 3-story resort, so it's easy to come and go to our room, the pool, activity center, etc., and we love all the free and reasonably priced crafts and activities for the kids available all day, every day, and check-out of board games and movies. Convenient location, in mellow Cathedral City, but not far from either Palm Desert or downtown Palm Springs.
We loved the location of our unit (which we rented from a timeshare owner who requests this Unit each year) - #406, bottom floor, walk right out onto your patio and out to the pool. Was worried it might be loud, but was never a problem. Everything else on my previous review (activities, facilities, activity center, unit, etc.) are still accurate. I'd just add that there's also free parking and free wifi, and despite some previous reviews, I used the wifi daiy and it was super fast.
Nearby attractions: this time the weather was so wonderful, we did more outside activities -- hiking Palm Canyon at Indian Canyons; hiking Thousand Palms Canyon, Demuth Park, but always love walking around downtown Palm Springs, too. Overall, a great relaxing family trip. Every time we come, we think - we should do this more often!
