“Caliente Tropics has clearly embraced its tiki theme, making it a fun departure from typical hotels. I especially appreciate its dog-friendly policy, alongside those spacious rooms, and its on-site bars. The hotel's history as one of the last tiki hotels adds a unique charm that's hard to find elsewhere in Palm Springs.”

My stay at Caliente Tropics was fantastic! The retro vibe and cleanliness of the hotel set the perfect mood. The pool area was absolutely lovely, and the Tiki Bar made for a fun hangout spot. Although the breakfast could use some improvement, the overall experience was enjoyable and definitely worth the price.
