Savor the Holiday Experience at the La Quinta Resort and Club This Thanksgiving

When you choose to book your Thanksgiving vacation rental through Legacy Villas, you’ll be delighted to find that your luxury retreat is seamlessly connected to the iconic La Quinta Resort & Club by an easy-to-access walkway. That means you won’t be far from the annual Thanksgiving Day prix-fixe menu served here, which is ideal when you’re craving a traditional dish or two during your stay.

In years past, this culinary experience has included the likes of creamy mashed potatoes, roast turkey, honey-glazed ham, and delectable side dishes to add to every plate. In 2025, the Thanksgiving menu is gearing up to include roasted pumpkin soup with crispy sage, roasted butternut squash salad, and a main course of maple-glazed turkey breast topped with cranberry compote. Of course, you’ll be ending things on a sweet note at this delicious dinner with a dessert course that will include a bourbon pecan tart topped off with whipped cream. You can enjoy Thanksgiving dinner at the La Quinta Resort & Club for $85 per person; be sure to make your reservation early!

Infuse a Little Luxury into Your Dining Experience at La Quinta Cliffhouse

For those travelers who find themselves longing for a sophisticated Thanksgiving dinner experience in La Quinta this November, making a reservation at La Quinta Cliffhouse is a must. Named for its cliffside location, La Quinta Cliffhouse is a place where it’s never difficult to match a mesmerizing menu of options with spectacular views, too.

Throughout the year, they offer a two-course sunset option for guests with opportunities to pair every plate with just the right red, white, sparkling option off their impressive global wine list. La Quinta Cliffhouse is a great place to enjoy everything from pasta and fresh seafood to perfectly cooked steak upon request. Because La Quinta enjoys daily highs in the upper 70s throughout November, and evenings that dip only into the 50s and 60s, there’s no reason not to take advantage of patio dining during your Thanksgiving dinner when nothing sounds more inviting than an al fresco meal in good company.

La Quinta Cliffhouse is often praised for its high level of impeccable service, making a Thanksgiving dinner here even more enjoyable and memorable for visitors. Whether you select the filet mignon, the ribeye, the braised short rib, lobster tail, or the sugar-spiced salmon, your taste buds will certainly thank you for the incredible experience. When you choose this local eatery as your Thanksgiving dinner destination of choice, you’ll find you can access those amazing culinary moments ahead by heading to 78250 CA-111 in La Quinta with dinner service beginning promptly at 3:30 pm each day.
