Read the reviews for Caliente Tropics, and I was sold on staying here as a family stopover on our way from Phoenix to Los Angeles. The beds were super-comfy, stunning white bedspreads instead of the run-of-the-mill polyester ones! The rooms were clean, pleasant and spacious. We enjoyed the pool, which is located right next to the hotel bar, lots of... more

Caliente Tropics Resort was the first night stay on our California, Nevada and Arizona Road Trip 2008. Having arrived at LAX after a 11 hour flight from the UK and driven for 2 hours to Palm Springs this hotel was a welcoming site. The updated/refurbished King room was really great especially the new powerful shower in the bathroom (needed that... more

We came down to the desert for a nice quiet little getaway and some relaxing pool time, what we found at the Caliente Tropics were Kids, Kids, Kids,. The hotel itself is very cute, clean and well appointed. The beds are very, very comfortable, and the staff is courteous and friendly. Customer service was excellent, and the small attached mexican... more

In 1964, this was probably a true resort. It has a large pool, shuffleboard, cabana's, BBQ and grass area, on-site restaurant and poolside bar. By today's luxury spa standards, it is more of a deluxe motor motel. Don't get me wrong, we loved this place. But if you are expecting a true resort feel, you might get disappointed. The staff... more

This hotel is a lot better than the reviews on this site suggest - so much so that I think it's been refurbished since some of the reviews were written. Given that it's a really inexpensive place to stay, I was really impressed with what I got for my money. The rooms are nice and very clean recently decorated with... more

After reading all of the reviews on this website I was a bit scared to come here. When I first got here, this place looked exactly like what the pictures shown on their website. I was pleased with that. We walked into the lobby to check in, which was small, but cute tiki/polynesian themed. The staff there was friendly and... more

For the most part I was pleasantly surprised with the hotel. Reviews I read had me doubtful, but my room was nice, clean and modern. I never had any issues with noise. And the AC worked! The pool area was nice to hang around with friends, the Mexican restaurant reasonable with large portions and the overall look of the hotel... more

We made reservations a month in advance. At that time the reviews were good to very good. In the last couple of weeks the reviews were bad, so bad we were thinking of canceling our reservation. We figured we would go ahead and give it a try. Check in was fast and the guy at the counter answered all my... more

I reserved this hotel for my parents who were coming from New Mexico to visit me and my partner and in an effort to get my parents in someplace cool, I thought this was perfect because of the website. The websites pictures look so cute, and everything seemed up to par... Well, that is not the case. This place needs... more
