This is a mediocre place, neither good nor bad. The room had damage to the wall, and the bathroom threshold had dangerous loose screws that had to be carefully stepped over. The grounds are well maintained. I was surprised that the main swimming pool was heated in early April. There's no free water in the room and a sign that says "No Outside food or drinks are permitted".

Just business. Live the casual atmosphere and the late night drinks at the Reef bar.

Our stay was great and we would absolutely go back! Good location, nice pool and hot tub, The Reef bar is great, and the service at check in and out was great. The room itself I would say was overall alright, but the shower and sink both were not in the best condition, so that does bring my rating down just a bit.

Honestly I kinda feel like 1977 called to tell me my room was ready. It was very dated and the furniture run down.No outlets, interesting wall unit AC switch, drippy faucet and no extra blanket. That being said, it was clean, smelled nice, many hangers and was HUGE! The bar staff was fabulous and kind. The drinks and food were good. The staff was friendly. Front desk was nice. We couldn't swim because of rain.

First, the staff was AMAZING! Second, the room was spacious and clean. We booked a suite and it was perfect for our party size (4 adults). We visited the on-site bar (The Reef). It had a fun little vibe, but the drinks were ridiculously overpriced. I can't be too sure, but I think the housekeeper broke a glass in our room. We left and when we came back, I stepped on glass twice. I was walking around barefoot prior with no problem. Overall, our stay was nice for our quick little getaway.

What a great, kitchy place!! The water in the shower was tricky: hot water took more than 5 minutes to come in, then I had to be quick on my feet b/c it would change to cold without warning! I LOVE the pool and hot tub. I love the location, the restaurants and the beauty of the area!! Great place to have our big birthday bash!!

The bed was falling apart. There was smelly carpet on the floor with a giant black stain. My toilet wasn’t even balanced so every time I sat down it was sideways. The pool is great, but the workout room was terrible. I would never stay here again.

Excellent location and wonderful landscaping.

The hotel is old but maintained well enough. The rooms are clean enough. The pool area is the best thing about the hotel. Now for the negatives. There were 4 of us on the registration. They had only 2 sets of towels/wash cloths and 3 pool towels in the room. I shouldn’t have to request more towels when clearly there are 4 people in the room. Maid service came everyday but did not swap out the wet pool towels even though they were thrown inside the shower. She did however take the regular towel that was on top of the pool towels so I know she saw the wet pool towels. Also there was a huge crack under the door. People would be standing out on the balcony smoking and the smell would come under the door. Also there are no safety chains/locks on the door. Some man was being belligerent in the middle of the night and I had to open the door to tell him to be quiet because I have sleeping kids. It would have been safer had I had a safety chain to open the door slightly to talk to him. There was zero soap/shampoo/conditioner in the bathroom. There is no microwave in the rooms and if you want one they charge you $15 to have one in your room. I wouldn’t stay at this hotel again.

Thoroughly enjoyable and a blast to the past. Great tiki bar and amenities. Friendly and helpful staff. A real ‘old Palm Springs’ vibe. I love it!

Nice pool area, jacuzzi and choice of dinning!

Poor property management

The hotel was in a good location but is very outdated. The walls are very thin I could hear the next door neighbors talking until 1 am. The shower was outdated with no hot water in the evening and no hot water in the morning. We would never come back and would never recommend this place to anyone.

Great service and room

The 2 Queen Beds Suite has large sitting area with a couch, an armchair and coffee table. There are two good restaurants on site, and a coffee shop close by.

The hotel delivered in convenience and ambiance. I love the location also--the mountain shining in the morning right outside my window.

Room was big & spacious; amenities were nice. Maintenance addressed broken ceiling fan when it broke. Grounds seemed well taken care of.

The carpet was old and stained. We could not control the water temperature.

Great pool area. Property needs some upgrades, especially the bathrooms. Blackout curtains would be helpful for sleeping.

Enjoyed the location. Staff friendly and helpful.

Great location. Clean. Safe. Friendly. Great value

Has a good vibe

The staffs are friendly and accommodating, but this hotel is quite old and it is more like a motel. It is at the end of town and far away from everything.

Pros: The pool and poolside bar seemed very enjoyable and people were having fun. Unfortunately, we were there only for a day with our little kiddo and couldn't take advantage of it. Location was only a short drive to downtown, so that's good. Cons: Room was dated and could use an upgrade. The bed was too soft. $15 to have a microwave in the room is a no-no for me. Verdict: This place is good for quick stopover. But may not be everyone's choice.

Overall a nice clean place. A bit old but they do what they can to freshen up the space. No funky smell given an old place. If you have a bad back, stay elsewhere...The mattress is too soft and out of shape.

This place has charm. The pool is nice and the rooms were are decent size.

We had so much fun staying at Caliente Tropics Hotel! The front desk staff was friendly and helpful during check-in. Highlights include: heated pool and large hot tub, Sancho's for dinner, and spacious deluxe king room. We always appreciate an in-room coffee maker and powerful updated shower. I couldn't get enough of the Tiki theme around the property - it made it all the more special and memorable.

Great place a little away from downtown. Three great restaurants on site, great rooms with comfy beds and necessary amenities. On site restaurant overlooking the pool was great! Staff was so nice and great about any ask!

conveniently located in attending a wedding

Hotel is clean and welcoming. The room had some wear and tear to the floor and lights that could be addressed but a wrap it’s a good option for a reasonable priced hotel in Palm Springs.

Loved staying here easy options for dining the Sanchos restaurant was amazing we went four times good value for money.

Nice hotel for the price. Property and pool area was beautiful! Pool was nicely heated. The room we stayed in was very outdated and could definitely use an update on the carpet for sure. The hotel was still pricy for what it’s worth but lower than almost anything else in the area. Good for a quick 2 night stay in Palm Springs. Lots of parking and not to far from the main downtown area.
