The hype
Great for a bachelorette party or day drinking, but don't look too closely at the grout.

Rezerviraj ovo ako You're under 30, here for the pool party, and care more about your Instagram feed than a spotless carpet.
Zašto Ljudima Se Sviđa
- The technicolor aesthetic is undeniably photogenic
- El Jefe's Taco Tuesdays and tequila selection are legitimate local hits
- The pool scene is a non-stop, high-energy social hub
Brzi pregled: A fun, flashy motel that relies heavily on paint and vibes to distract you from the worn-out rooms and thin walls.
Pregledano od @Michaela_romanosmith: I honestly couldn't stop taking photos here. The colors are even more vibrant in person! It’s definitely a party hotel, so bring your friends and grab a margarita by the pool. The mountain views from my balcony were the perfect chill contrast to the lively pool scene.
Što su rekli gosti koji su boravili ovdje
Reality check
The photos look brand new, but the rooms feel like a college dorm that's seen one too many spring breaks.
- You want to meet people and party by the pool all day
- You need a colorful backdrop for content creation
- You plan to be out (or intoxicated) enough that noise doesn't bother you

FAQ & Skriveni savjeti
Sve što zaista trebate znati prije nego što rezervirate.
Is the pool really that loud?
Yes. On weekends, it's effectively a day club with a DJ. If your room faces the pool, your windows will vibrate.
Are the rooms renovated?
They were refreshed years ago but are showing significant wear and tear (chipped paint, stained carpets) as of late 2024/2025.
Is parking free?
Technically no—it's 'included' in the mandatory daily resort fee for one vehicle.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, it's very pet-friendly, but there is a ~$50 pet fee per stay.
Is it good for families?
Not really. The vibe is heavily adult/party-focused, especially on weekends. Kids might feel out of place amidst the drinking games.
How is the wifi?
Generally reliable enough for social media, but can slow down when the hotel is at full capacity.

5 stvari koje trebate znati prije nego što dođete
💡The 'balconies' are often just shared walkways or have zero privacy from neighbors.
💡The elevators are slow and located at the far ends of the building—prepare for long walks.
💡The bright colors fade fast in the desert sun; up close, the exterior paint is often peeling.
💡Housekeeping can be inconsistent; you might have to ask twice for fresh towels.
💡The 'resort fee' includes yoga, but classes are often only on weekends.
