We fell in love with this place! You honestly don't have to leave the property to have a great time! Biggest pool in Palm Springs, it did need to cleaned and by that I only mean with a net. But the best part of this hotel is there restaurant THE REEF! Amazing drinks and food!!!! If you are looking for an amazing tiki themed property, the entire property is done up VERY WELL for it's theme. I highly highly recommend and we will be back! Shout-out to our bartender Brandon who makes the best drinks and gives great customer service!

Great location. The room was clean, quiet, everything was in working condition. Everyone was friendly, including the guests at the pool. It felt like a big neighborhood party. 2 suggestions: 1) Allow room charges at the Reef. It would save having to have your credit card or cash while at the pool 2) Parking. When I came back from dinner around 9pm, there was no place to park. I was told to just find a spot anywhere, and check for a parking space later. I woke up at 1130pm, went outside and found plenty of parking spaces. I suggest you have reserved parking for your guests and other spaces for employees/visitors to the Reef.

I never leave reviews. But I would not recommend staying at this place to anyone. The staff was friendly but condescending. We spent over $300 in two days at their bar. They charged us for drinks did we did not drink. The staff was terrible the pool waitress was incompetent. The rooms in the pictures are not as they seem we asked to move rooms. The carpeting was from 1983. And smelled. Then after all that, although there is nowhere to specify we have a pet on their website for the booking. They had the audacity to charge us $25 per night per pet. Had we known about this we would have paid for the pet. Or stayed somewhere else. We did not try to hide our pet we had our pet on the lawn, in front of the front lobby, walked him daily. This plas is mot recommended whatsoever! IF you want to stay in Palm Springs there are plenty of other options cheaper and better. In fact the Motel 6 next door would be a much better option!

Dear Guest, We first want to apologize for any inconvenience you experience at the bar. Your feed back was reported to the reef bar restaurant for a further investigation. We are a pet friendly hotel, however there is an additional fee of $25.00 per pet per night. This information is provided in guest registration at time of check in and in our website. We are sorry we couldn't meet your expectations I really Hope you will come stay with us in the near future.

Thank you for feedback, and we hope to see you soon in Palm Springs.

The Caliente Tropics has an excellent, laid-back vibe. It was a great place to relax by the pool or take a dip in the hot-tub. A wonderful home-base for exploring Palm Springs and the surrounding area.

Cute place but be aware it's only standard room

Pros: deco
It's a bit of false advertising. We needed accomodation for our family of 6 and this hotel popped up. In reality, it's a standard double queen room that can sleep 4. We managed but not the most pleasant. The hotel has a nice pool that opens late till 12 am. My family and 2 other families are still using them till almost closing time. Very tropical island themed outdoor area, cute.
