A 1964 tiki hideaway
Our weekend unfolds at the legendary Caliente Tropics, a 1964 Polynesian-inspired resort in the heart of Palm Springs. Once a hideaway for Hollywood stars and tiki dreamers, this mid-century oasis still radiates the allure of a bygone era. Picture torchlight flickering against dramatic A-frame peaks, mai tais glowing by the turquoise pool, and nights alive with the sounds of surf, lounge, and exotica... an atmosphere that feels both timeless and transportive.
Rest & rum
The Breezeway Getaway captures the mystique of mid-century weekenders with the warmth of tiki Ohana. From a meet-and-greet with Spike and stars from The Breezeway Cocktail Hour, to shopping the Breezeway Marketplace by TikiLand, spirited symposiums, poolside revelry, and nights of music and signature cocktails... every moment is crafted for escape and camaraderie.
Welcome, Breezetonians
More than a weekend, the Breezeway Getaway is Spike’s Breezeway Cocktail Hour brought to life. Fans of the show become Breezetonians, gathering to share tiki history, desert escapism, and the camaraderie that defines the Breezeway spirit. Guided by Donn Beach’s timeless “R&R” mantra; rest and rum. We celebrate cocktails, connection, and the joy of living the show together.

The host hotel is sold out but you don't need a room at the Caliente Tropics to attend. These spots are an easy walk from the party.
Today the Caliente Tropics is a preserved slice of mid-century Polynesian Pop: part resort, part living tiki museum, still hosting tiki gatherings and poolside cocktailing under the palms.
Built in 1963 and opened in 1964 by motel developer Ken Kimes Sr. as the flagship of his Polynesian-themed Tropics motor hotel chain, with sister sites in Indio, Blythe, Modesto and Rosemead. The property featured large tikis, including Oceanic Arts pieces, and a huge resort pool.
The Tropics drew celebrity traffic, including Sinatra’s Rat Pack and Elvis, during Palm Springs’ mid-century heyday.
Over the decades the complex evolved. Nearby condo units were annexed in the early 1960s and later spun off in 2000, and the hotel became known as the Caliente Tropics.
The Caliente Tropics hosted the first years of the Tiki Oasis festival before that event grew too large and moved to San Diego.
Rory Snyder launched the annual Tiki Caliente weekender at the hotel, cementing it as a modern tiki hub. He later added Mod Palm Springs.
In March 2017 the on-site bar space was reborn as The Reef, bringing classic tropical cocktails back to the poolside A-frame.
