At first glance the hotel looked promising for the area and vibe. The rooms were a bit outdated but reasonable for the price. Me and my partner were just here for Memorial Day weekend but the two main issues were that…

Past it's prime
pictures in advertising are not true to property. looked like a fun stay, but glad we didn't follow through with that plan! We chose a different stay but went to check out Caliente for next visit. Not for us.

Questions about Caliente Tropics

What time is check-in and check-out at Caliente Tropics?

Check-in is from 4:00 PM. Check-out is by 12:00 PM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does Caliente Tropics allow pets?

Yes — the property states that pets are allowed. Size, number and fee are set by the property rather than by us, so say you're bringing a pet when you book and we'll confirm the terms before anything is charged.

Is there parking at Caliente Tropics?

Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.

Does Caliente Tropics have a pool?

Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.

Does Caliente Tropics have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does Caliente Tropics have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book Caliente Tropics?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
