Caliente Tropics Motel

Caliente Tropics is a motel that was built in the 1960s with lots of Mid-Century Modern Polynesian (Tiki) flare. As this will be the wedding venue location, it will be an easy walk to and from your room to join the festivities. Plus there is a pool, tiki bar, Mexican restaurant and small gym on site. We have set up a room block for Wednesday, April 3rd - Sunday, April 7th. Depending on the night (weeknights and Sunday nights are cheaper) and room type (King bed rooms are cheaper than Queen), rooms should be in the ~$150-$210 range + tax. Please call Caliente Tropics directly to receive the discounted rates and use the VATERS room block code. Their phone number is: 1-760-327-1391. As a friendly reminder, we recommend booking rooms as soon as possible as April is a busy time to visit Palm Springs. However, if you prefer to stay at a more modern hotel, we certainly understand!
