The rooms are recently remodeled and clean. There are a few things that could be improved upon but for the most part the remodels are nice. The most important thing is that the rooms were clean, bedding was very comfortable (loved the pillows) and plenty of space. The pool area is fantastic with plenty of seating, BBQs, private areas and... more

On the last day of school I decided to surprise my kids with an overnight to Palm Springs. Just a one night getaway thing. I went online and found a cool little Tiki themed motel and the prices were right! I got two rooms, a double queen and a king. When we got there, the manager was so friendly and... more

Our first visit was a girl's getaway for Mother's Day. It was a wonderful time and we could not believe how great the staff, room & pool was especially since the price was so great. After that we couldn't wait to return. My husband and I went back in June for our birthdays and again it was so perfect. The... more

We arrived at Caliente Tropics after a day hiking in the Anza Borrego State Park. This very clean Polynesian themed hotel welcomed us with an updated room and a cool and refreshing pool. The grounds were nicely landscaped and the room was comfortable and quiet. The staff throughout the hotel were friendly and helpful. On our second and final day... more

I have two disclaimers. First, this was not our first time at this hotel. Second, we were joining six other couples for a late spring getaway. The couple who orchestrated this adventure had returned annually to this hotel for several years. The initial attraction was a $79.00/night spring special. But like any teaser rate, by the time most of tried... more

Seemed like a crazy bargain -- got an under-$50/night pre-paid deal through Yahoo for a mid-week stay. Within hours after check-in, a 2-inch cockroach crawled out from under the TV cabinet and scampered around like he owned the place. Hard to judge the retro-tiki decor or anything else after that. more

I saw the Caliente Tropics online and thought it looked very retro and cool. When we got there we were pleasantly surprised how cool the architecture was.. We checked in and we had requested a bathtub and the room we got did not have one, so we asked it they had any other rooms, Tom at the counter upgraded us... more
