I stay at the Hacienda.  Yes, they are expensive and sedate.  But service is great and I connect with local and traveling providers to overcome the sedate.
When I was planning on attending in 2020, I made a reservation at Inndulge.  When the pandemic started, it was too late to cancel and avoid fees.  I think at that point I had already paid for 50% of my stay.  I asked if due to the pandemic they could do something for me like a credit for a future stay.  They would not consider doing anything.  That made my staying there in the future difficult.  At least when I cancelled my air, I got a credit that I eventually used on another trip.  

Really!!!!! Much ado about nothing. It's 2022 so who really gives a fuck. Frankly I have very fond memories of  sucking off a stripper kneeling on the bar in a very popular stripper club in Acapulco and that was over fifteen years ago. Nobody really gave a damn then so why should people give a damn now.

As far as airports are concerned try to avoid LAX at all cost. Under the best of circumstances it is a mess. Besides constant construction the main problem with LAX is that it is located on the west side of Los Angeles which means one has to drive through the middle of the city to reach Palm Springs. Depending on the time of day the drive through downtown L.A. is god awful or worse. The best airports for Palm Springs are as follows: 1.) Palm Springs if price is reasonable, 2.) Ontario about an hour away is a great airport and very easy to negotiate, 3.) Orange County doable because it is on the east side of L.A. and finally 4.) San Diego probably a better drive than that from LAX but still a long drive.

I’ve done it before. Not a bad idea at all. Avoid the drive in from LAX. Ghastly.

If you plan to attend you might want to make hotel reservations NOW. You can always cancel later if you decide not to make the trip. Palm Springs is already bursting at the seams. All the snow birds who have been stuck in cold country, because of Covid19, for the last two years are ON THE MOVE. Some have already arrived. The town is going to be crowded, Crowded and even more CROWDED this season. Additionally hotel rates are going to go up, Up, UP.   ACT NOW!!!!!

nycman there isn't an unofficial "host" resort, HOWEVER, I will assume that if the past repeats itself the largest group of attendees will be staying at INNdulge. The place has a very social vibe in the late afternoon.

Of course you are a dirty old man just like me. I definitely agree the number a gorgeous men out there seems to have increased. I just wish so many of them weren't sporting HUGE out of control beards and an absurd number of ugly tattoos.
