Making an Entrance The Bachelorette Was Filmed

The front drive of La Quinta Resort & Club plays a pivotal role in the show, where the contestant limos pull up to meet the bachelorette. This scenic welcome to the resort leads into the main plaza, where world-class dining is presented at Twenty6 and Adobe Grill, and live music can be heard on the open-air plaza while guests enjoy signature cocktails.

A Rose by Any Other Name

The lobby at La Quinta Resort & Club is where the rose ceremonies take place. Historic touches can be seen throughout the lobby, starting with the original Saltillo tile floors. Vintage photos and relics adorn the walls of the lobby’s History Hallway, and the adjacent anteroom is an open space where guests can relax, chat, mingle and enjoy cocktails.

Scoring Love The Bachelorette Was Filmed

The sunken tennis court is where the infamous dodgeball scene took place this season. Voted one of the top tennis resorts in the world, guests can walk in the footsteps of celebrities and famed players, such as Novak Djokovic and Maria Sharapova, and play in the sunken, tournament-style center court, which is expertly led by the resort’s team of USPTA-certified instructors.

 

Living the Suite Life Where was The Bachelorette Season 16

El Presidente King Suite was where Clare and Tayshia stayed during the course of The Bachelorette. With an adjoining one-bedroom guest suite, this suite offers more space and the added benefit of a private yard with a pool and hot tub, one king bedroom and a separate living space. A variety of guest services are also available like restaurant reservations and pool cabana rentals.

 

Making A Splash The Bachelorette Was Filmed

The scene where Tayshia has a pool party at La Quinta Resort & Club takes place at one of the 41 pools on the grounds. The main pool is family-friendly, but the 21-and-over pool, located amongst original casitas, is a popular escape for adults. This pool boasts breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, a menu of signature cocktails and cabanas for rent.

 

All dining options are currently available for take-out and in-room dining per state mandate.
