This hotel is cheap in many ways but it’s doubles down on the Tiki Theme in ways only seen at them parks. The attention to detail spent on making every rock, every pillar, every post have a tiki idol on it could have been spared for better mattresses or to replacing the shower handles.
Pros: Great on site bar (The Reef) with heavy pours. Great pool and hot tub! Tiki theme on MAX, AC worked great!
Cons: cheapest mattress ever, thin walls, had to get pool towels from the front desk, microwaves are rented from front office.
Would I return? Yes. Would I also bring a mattress pad, my own microwave, and pool towels? Also yes.
Bottom line: if your plan is to visit Palm Springs and indulge in enough tiki themed cocktails to render yourself unconscious each night, it’s perfect. If you’re expecting a luxury stay, it’s not for you.
