"A Palm Springs Oasis in the desert"

This two story tiki themed vibe resort is just what the doctor ordered for our one night stay. The on site bar and restaurant was icing on the cake for us! The room was in a great location, with tropical views from our front door. If you're looking for a weekend getaway, look no further and book the Caliente Tropics!

"Affordable Stay"

While Caliente Tropics is an older hotel it has everything you need. There is a beautiful pool with a restaurant/ bar and a separate Mexican restaurant in front of the hotel. The hotel also has a small gym with equipment for a morning workout. The staff are very accommodating and friendly. This was my second stay and I will return.
