Everything is pretty much impeccable for me but one thing. The hot water in the shower changes to ice cold for no reason. I constantly had to turn the hot water up. I’ve been coming here for years and I’ve experienced it in other rooms. But that’s my only minor complaint. The front desk, restaurant staff are all super welcoming. It’s a go to place for me.

This place was absolutely awful, don’t be fooled by the fake high rating, the staff is unpleasant and is not helpful at all. When checking in it was never told to us that towels for the pool were in the lobby, or that they had to be checked out and brought back as if they were on lock down. The ice machine is in a dark gym room far from any other rooms. The pool is dirty and the old woman who works at the tiki bar made us throw out our ‘outside sources’ (drinks) even though others had beverages of their own. No one was accommodating, in fact they seemed almost happy to be unhelpful. The shower took a full 30 minutes before it gave out anything but freezing water. The phone doesn’t work, so plan to use your cellphone to get ahold of the front desk. The tv didn’t have any channels to watch, just a guide screen. When going to return our keys and towels the receptionist was telling the guest ahead of us that “the language we speak here is different”, not helpful and super disrespectful. It was SO bad, we made the best of it but honestly I would NEVER recommend this place to anyone. A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT!

Our favorite place in Palm Springs

Another great stay at Caliente Tropics, our hotel of choice when visiting Palm Springs. Friendly, welcoming staff, comfortable clean room and the topper for us every visit, the amazing staff at The Reef tiki bar. They always treat us well, great food and drinks. Special shout out to Richie, Cameron and Trasae (sp?) for the 5 star service. If I was going to give one area for improvement, it would be to install more umbrellas as the PS sun can be brutal. The small number of metal umbrellas at tables don’t cut it. The lounge chairs need them as well.

I would never stay here again.

This place was a dive. I had to get up early, and I couldn't get hot water in the shower. The knob just rotated all over the place. They explained what to do, and it mostly worked the second morning. I had a very bright light outside of my room, with no black out curtains. I didn't get very good sleep either night.
