July 21, 2012 - PRLog -- Palm Springs, CA – Pura Vida Resorts Inc. (http://www.puravidaps.com) co-owner David Reid said, “You can go with the trend or make your own,” of opening a luxurious gay men’s resort in Warm Sands. In a neighborhood famous for its many clothing optional gay hotels, Pura Vida stands out as a luxury NON-clothing-optional gay resort for the discriminating traveler. Since opening in July 2011, the unique approach has been working.  In April, San Francisco Bay Area Reporter Travel Columnist Ed Walsh called Pura Vida “one of the most upscale and modern gay resorts in the world.” Rave reviews on social media sites like TripAdvisor and Yelp have helped make Pura Vida the place to go for those in the know.

While vacationing in Palm Springs in 2010, Reid was looking for a second home in Palm Springs, but instead, found the property for sale. “My background in hotel management at Whistler-Blackcomb helped me see the gap in the market for an upscale experience totally unique in Palm Springs,” says Reid. The project to create a luxury hotel began with a total remodel including extensive use of travertine, custom wood work and many other amenities typically found in the finest resorts.

The hotel space has open common areas including an outdoor kitchen and BBQ that also allow for group events. As part of the complimentary cocktail hour, Pura Vida guests can enjoy premium wines, spirits and beverages as part of their stay. With eight rooms, a group of friends can rent the entire resort out to have the intimacy of a private home and the luxury feel of a full service hotel.  The venue may also be rented for special events and corporate functions.

To celebrate the first full year in business by offering Summer Specials through August, stay two nights and get a third free. Full details of the offer are online at PuraVidaPS.com.

Pura Vida Resort is an 8 room, luxury gay men’s hotel in the Warm Sands area of Palm Springs, CA. Rooms feature an extra thick pillow top king size bed, 40” flat-screen TV’s, oversized showers, Molton Brown amenities, a private patio for every room, pool and spa areas with panoramic mountain views, free Wi-Fi throughout and a daily hosted Social hour.  For more information and reservations, call 877-786-0519 or visit them online at http://www.PuraVidaPS.com.
