Truely one of the best preserved Tiki Paradises we have left. The joint has a history- and that's a good thing! https://www.sevenpleasures.org/gallery/around-town-Palm-Springs d1bcc06f3b4bdd373db07ea9d658948b Thu, 26 May 2005 11:11:55 +0000 https://www.sevenpleasures.org/gallery/view_comments.php?set_albumName=around-town-Palm-Springs https://www.sevenpleasures.org/albums/around-town-Palm-Springs/IMG_6888.thumb.jpg https://www.sevenpleasures.org/albums/around-town-Palm-Springs/IMG_6888.sized.jpg https://www.sevenpleasures.org/albums/around-town-Palm-Springs/IMG_6888.thumb.jpg 108 144 Shapshots from the front seat as we go driving along.

Unfortunately, we were having such a great time we didn't take many pictures. https://www.sevenpleasures.org/gallery/Don-the-Beachcomber-PS 49df5fa6f23aa99147cb2cd6c6edc4b8 Thu, 26 May 2005 11:09:42 +0000 https://www.sevenpleasures.org/gallery/view_comments.php?set_albumName=Don-the-Beachcomber-PS https://www.sevenpleasures.org/albums/Don-the-Beachcomber-PS/IMG_6885.thumb.jpg https://www.sevenpleasures.org/albums/Don-the-Beachcomber-PS/IMG_6885.sized.jpg https://www.sevenpleasures.org/albums/Don-the-Beachcomber-PS/IMG_6885.thumb.jpg 150 113 Once a mighty Tiki Temple of the desert, only hints remain to even awknowledge its former glory. https://www.sevenpleasures.org/gallery/Tiki-Spa%2C-Palm-Springs 457da44b6fdb082b537f282fdd8a5fac Thu, 26 May 2005 11:08:51 +0000 https://www.sevenpleasures.org/gallery/view_comments.php?set_albumName=Tiki-Spa,-Palm-Springs https://www.sevenpleasures.org/albums/Tiki-Spa-2003/20030506_043.thumb.jpg https://www.sevenpleasures.org/albums/Tiki-Spa-2003/20030506_043.jpg https://www.sevenpleasures.org/albums/Tiki-Spa-2003/20030506_043.thumb.jpg 108 144 The Tiki Spa, near the Caliente Tropics, is currently non-operational. We captured a few pictures documenting how it currently stands. https://www.sevenpleasures.org/gallery/Palm-Springs-Area 79b99b76be0addbe456dac345d1ceece Thu, 26 May 2005 11:06:05 +0000 https://www.sevenpleasures.org/gallery/view_comments.php?set_albumName=Palm-Springs-Area https://www.sevenpleasures.org/albums/Nightime-visit-to-the-Tropics-and-Reef-bar/IMG_6875.thumb.jpg https://www.sevenpleasures.org/albums/Nightime-visit-to-the-Tropics-and-Reef-bar/IMG_6875.sized.jpg https://www.sevenpleasures.org/albums/Nightime-visit-to-the-Tropics-and-Reef-bar/IMG_6875.thumb.jpg 150 113 We've made two trips to the Palm Springs Area in the last two years. Here are several albums full of Desert Polynesia. Unfortunately, not a great deal remains of this once mighty Tiki nirvana. Two Galleries lurk within- comparisons between our 2003 and 2005 trips to the Caliente Tropics and the now defunct Tiki Spa. https://www.sevenpleasures.org/gallery/escape-the-volcano df295988279d0bbcc16e3f0e234155f2 Thu, 26 May 2005 10:27:20 +0000 https://www.sevenpleasures.org/gallery/view_comments.php?set_albumName=escape-the-volcano https://www.sevenpleasures.org/albums/escape-the-volcano/IMG_6747.thumb.jpg https://www.sevenpleasures.org/albums/escape-the-volcano/IMG_6747.sized.jpg https://www.sevenpleasures.org/albums/escape-the-volcano/IMG_6747.thumb.jpg 108 144 A defunct night club rotting in the desert in Cathedral City, CA (near Palm Springs), but with molton goodness out back! https://www.sevenpleasures.org/gallery/Haleiwa-Joes-RM 98750279597b7b4906f5aa3a2233fa1c Thu, 26 May 2005 10:25:56 +0000 https://www.sevenpleasures.org/gallery/view_comments.php?set_albumName=Haleiwa-Joes-RM https://www.sevenpleasures.org/albums/Haleiwa-Joes-RM/IMG_6784.thumb.jpg https://www.sevenpleasures.org/albums/Haleiwa-Joes-RM/IMG_6784.sized.jpg https://www.sevenpleasures.org/albums/Haleiwa-Joes-RM/IMG_6784.thumb.jpg 108 144 The only mainland U.S. Haleiwa Joe's location, just outside Palm Springs in Rancho Mirage. The building is an architectural masterpiece, inside full of exposed wood and glass. Not so much Tiki, per se- but with their own version of a Mai Tai and other exotic drinks, excellent food, and soft Hawai'ian music, I highly recommend it! Some nights they feature Hula dancers and musicians! This album also includes some really lousy low light cell phone camera pix- please forgive the less than optimal equipment.

(I can just hear it crying now, "Mo-om! Caliente got all the good Tikis!")Indio's Tropics boasts little more than excellent neon at night.
