This is a very cute, tiki-themed hotel. Although it's an older property, it's very well-maintained and modernized. Two great restaurants are on site, and the staff is super friendly and helpful. It's just a few blocks from downtown, so it's walking-friendly. Koffi, a local, bustling coffee shop, is only a block away.

I've stayed here many times. But it's been about 5 years since my last visit. I don't know how long it's been since they stopped maintaining the rooms, but room 208 was totally trashed. The soap dispensers didn't work. The bathroom exhaust fan was broken. The shower nozzle plate was coming off the wall, exposing raw plumbing behind it, and it was nearly impossible to pull on. The grout was falling apart in the shower. The H/C were switched in the sink, so we thought there was no hot water. The wiring of the floor lamp was questionable as it would go on/off on its own. The carpet was stained. The laminate on the cheap furniture was peeling/peeled off. The furniture was broken (couldn't open door to desk without opening the drawer above it. The carpeted doesn’t appear vacuumed and there was a ton of dust in all corners as it if hadn’t been fully vacuumed in years. The bed linens appeared to be clean, so that's good. But I will never be back. Such a disappointment used to really like this place.

I've come here twice for the tennis tournament at Indian Wells. This place has a cool, tiki, tiki, jungle vibe. The pool and hot tub are great to relax by yourselves or interact with other guests. The Reef (poolside bar/restaurant) is great - you can eat/drink inside or outside in the pool area. Good prices too.

The worst was check in where the desk staff of one person insisted that no one could check in before 4 pm! As the line grew longer & longer, she finally began checking us in. Also, the place is not a „resort.“. It‘s very old and worn and in need of a complete makeover. It is clean enough but staff only cleaned once and did not provide new towels on my second day. The Mr Coffee pot needed descaling and I couldn’t make coffee in it unless I wanted to wait a long time for it to brew. The Mexican restaurant next door (Sancho‘s) is overpriced.
