A Friendly, Tropical-themed Oasis in South Palm Springs

I stayed at the Caliente Tropics Resort for 6 nights in 2026 (checked in June 23 and checked out June 29). I was in town for the 32nd Annual Palm Springs International ShortFest (short films). I made my reservation directly through Jose at the front desk, and he ably matched me with the type of room I needed. The "resort" is more like an atmospheric, mid-century motor lodge ... I thank the duo who bought it 25 years ago for deliberately maintaining the original tropical tiki theme. The ambience around the bubbling hot-tub and expansive pool is enhanced by towering palm trees, soft, piped-in music, food and drink options from The Reef Restaurant and (at night) a couple tiki torches at the pool entrance. (A shout-out to Sancho's Mexican Restaurant, which is also on the property.) During my stay, in addition to Jose at the front desk, I met Rudy and Adrien (maintenance) and Claudia and Marisol (housekeeping). All were friendly, professional and helpful. If there's a drawback to this comfortable site, it's the lack of a nearby grocery store (I didn't have a car). The Moorten Botanical Garden, very close-by, featuring desert plants and a few animals, is worth a stop. I hope to be back someday!

Man, I really wanted to love this place but it's a bit run down. The pool was great and the garden was great. However our room wasn't very clean. The carpet had stains and we found a large dead roach in our room. The propertys pool doors need some maintenance. However we enjoyed the restaurant and the service that was provided poolside.

I’ve stayed here multiple times and it’s a great budget option in palm Springs. Nice pool, good bar and grassy area, good location walking distance to several good food options, and the rooms are like a motel - nothing special or fancy - but they are fine.

This hotel has so much charming character, but it needs to be updated to give it a refresh. It is iconic and it has great bones, but you can tell that they have not put any money into this hotel in many many years. It would be much better if it had a refresh yet still sticking to the catchy mid-century Tahitian decor. Yes, it needs a major overhaul. When a building is as old as this, it’s very hard to keep it clean, and you could see how dirty this Hotel is from years and years of neglect and lack of upgrading.

Very well themed and fun location to stay with large pool and great bar on site. Rates were great for the night we stayed and room was large. Room could use updating as the carpet and overall room felt dated and worn. For me the history of the resort, artwork and carvings, and vibe of the whole resort more than made up for this. The Reef bar was an excellent experience with great staff and patrons. Would definitely stay here again, especially for one of their event weekends.

Very good location
