Tropico Playa

Positives: Good location across the road from the beach. Friendly staff Very clean hotel Food is fine, fair amount of choice , can be quite cold at times, but there is a microwave in restaurant. We met some lovely people, (other guests)

Negatives : Entertainment : literally non existent, but it was the same the previous year, so we were aware of this. We stayed in block 2, Horrendous experience, walls paper thin could here every conversation our neighbour had & more, No privacy whatsoever, we were on floor two & the noise above was nearly as bad, zero soundproofing, we barely slept more than 2hrs at a time due to noise disturbances,we are not being melodious, Just letting people know of our experience. Also rooftop bar wasn’t open this October like last year, even though the weather, was very good, we spoke to other guests & as we did, they were annoyed that the regular pool never opened until 10 am, which did form quite a queue, Last year we left a 5 star review, but unfortunately can’t this time due to poor experience.

Great hotel in prime location, with clean and modern facilities, super friendly staff (special shout out to chef Lukasz), and great vibe overall. Proved to be a perfect choice for our family holiday. There is plenty of great food with lots of options to choose from, and some most delicious deserts. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will happily return!

This was my second visit to the hotel and was in the second week of October so a quieter stay as the hotel starts to wind down to close for the winter.

Firstly I want to say how amazing the manager was, he was friendly and made it a really nice experience checking in. Throughout the holiday he would come and chat to us and was just an asset to this hotel. Protect this man at all costs!

The staff were all lovely and friendly from my experience inside the restaurants/ at the bars and the lifeguards and cleaners.

Food does have choices unless you are very fussy there is always something to eat. The pizza is exceptional here. Mexican themed night was my personal favourite , excellent offerings. As most people have mentioned it’s not hot temperature wise but there is a microwave if that’s your preference and I never found anything cold.

The drinks were fine for us , the cocktail menu has been extended since our last visit from 4-8 so that’s a plus. It’s all local branded alcohol so I understand that it’s not to everyone’s preference but I felt it was a good choice and I drink only zero sugar soft drinks so was good to see the fanta was also zero as well as a Coke Zero.

We were in block 3 which was a family room. The steps were challenging as we also were on the top floor so bear in mind this if you have any issues climbing stairs to ask for a room more accessible. However the family room was very spacious with a large balcony and a view of the sea which was a nice suprise as didn’t book a sea view room. This room also had really good sound proofing as was on a top floor with only one adjourning room next to it.

There is limited entertainment at this hotel so we played cards a lot at night but there was a fantastic flamenco dancing evening which was great. Location of the hotel is brilliant too step out and the beach is over the road and plenty of restaurants, shops and bars nearby plus supermarkets to browse or watch the world go by.

I would return here again , it was a nice experience and a relaxing holiday. There are no sunbed wars as the pool doesn’t allow you to go to the pool and sunbeds until 10 am and plenty to choose from.
