The Cactai was a great choice for a taste of Palm Springs and for a relaxing stay. The boutique hotel is fully updated and perfectly designed. We enjoyed not only our room but the pool and spa as well. Joel and Jacob were quick to respond to our needs and accommodating in every way. We highly recommend The Cactai to everyone traveling to PS. Mauricio&Bill

Nice hotel, well priced compared to the rest of Palm Springs. Allowed dogs (we brought ours) and the pool was nice. I wasn't a fan of the check-in process with no one there (similar to AirBnB) but the owners were very responsive over text.

We liked the vintage vibes and the property was well take care of. Pool and hot tub were pretty well maintained and having a private back patio area was also a plus. A little bit of a walk to the downtown core district. There was a musty smell in the room but that did clear up after a couple days and keeping windows open. AC worked well but was a little loud. Pack tight if possible as there are two small nightstands. Overal we had a pretty positive experience on a unique property.
