Love this place, the parking the pool and the access to food by the pool. I wish the pool would play better music, some of the tunes could be a bit more up beat. Been here over a dozen times, that’s my only suggestion, the music in the pool area could use a revamp.

Do not recommend this Hotel

All I can say is the people at the REEF, are very rude, insulting and I cannot believe that you have people working there behaving the way they behave. There’s an older woman that works there that is very rude and I was sitting out by the pool and there was a woman in the pool and she told me she’s been there twice and that lady, is always very very rude to her and I went to the front desk and I talked to the desk clerk and wanted the manager‘s name because this is not the way to be treated. We’ve been going there for over 10 years and the Man at the front desk told me that they get numerous reports on her about her behavior so I don’t understand why she continues to insult people and be rude, yell at people and at this point, my husband and myself we don’t ever want to go back there and we’ve been going there, for over 10 years but because of the way we’re treated and the service we get …..We’re looking for another hotel. Also, just want to add that the gentleman at the front desk would not give me the owners name and my husband and myself have met the owner and he’s taken us to the other restaurant that’s there, but the gentleman at the front desk told me that he has never seen the owner, no info from him… There wasn’t any further. I could really go with this. 😩

Hotel is outdated and the air conditioning wasn’t great. I understand that central air isn’t an option in a property this old. Overall, I enjoyed my stay.

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.
