“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.”
