Please refrain from reserving more than two rooms in our block without first requesting an exception from WMA. As you are aware, there is a very fine line in guesstimating the number of rooms that will be needed for our group.  There is typically only a 10% buffer over or under.  Falling short of our block puts WMA in financial liability and needing more rooms than we have blocked means some licensees may be stuck without a room or paying a higher rate. Ultimately, we want everyone who is able and interested in attending our meeting to be able to do so and to have a room at our negotiated hotel and rate.

 

To deter multiple, duplicate, and “what if” bookings and so WMA can best allocate our room block allotment, WMA reserves the right to notify the licensee and move any rooms in our block to the regular rack rate IF we are short of rooms and IF there is not an associated event registration.

SPA SERVICES 

The desert is hot outside, but the AC will be on full blast inside the Ritz-Carlton, Rancho Mirage spa.  If the sun and pool aren't for you, there is always the spa! WMA attendees receive an exclusive 10% savings on all regularly priced spa services. To ensure the best availability and preferred appointment times, the hotel highly recommends reserving spa services and wellness activities at your earliest convenience.
