The price was already very high for a 3Star Hotel , in spite of that we had to pay extra for a safe use and tv ,this was more than disappointing . The location of the hotel is good, but you can forget the rest. :|

Short break
Lovely and traditional hotel. We booked the Tropico for my 50th birthday and we were not let down in the slightest. Stayed there for four nights. From check-in to check-out,we were not disappointed. Hotel is very clean through out. Food is good,we are not fussy eaters and there was always something there. Pizzas are outstanding. Cooked fresh in front of you. Food is always hot. Entertainment was very good. Mary's night on a Thursday is a must. Bingo and disco.Pool area, very clean. Johnny behind the pool bar was excellent, always made sure you were ok. Would we book again? Definitely.

I loved that the hotel was right opposite the beach. The pool area was in shade from mid afternoon so it was easy to grab the remaining few hours of sunshine on the beach. The pool isn’t very big and, therefore, not a huge number of sun beds but I always managed to find one. The staff were constantly sweeping the floors and keeping the hotel clean. The room was adequate although could have done with a bit of tlc, especially in the bath/shower. I will definitely go back again 🙂

Location is main attraction. Staff very friendly and housekeeping very good. Only downside for me wad the pool is quite small and beds then are very close together There's a lot of steps up to pool which isn't suitable for some disabled. Also it's the only way if you are in the annexe side of the building but some rooms on that side have a lovely view of tbe beach.

Could be very good - at the moment medium
The food was just not good enough and we tried all meals Went with a group of 8 of us and although we enjoyed the all inclusive and pool bar then the main restaurant let it down - rooms decent enough and the service from reception and pool bar staff was good. Had a slight issue with the manager who wouldn't talk to us about an issue ( dont think she was onsite for most of the time ) but this was sorted out in the end Would go back but be prepared to eat out

The beach is opposite this Hotel !
This is a 3 star hotel, that's because it is a bit tatty in places with the paint work chipped here and there. BUT it is a 4 star + in personality and a great sense of humour in every way !! There is James and Molly - the skeletons - that sit on the settee by the lift for instance, there is the wishing tree by the reception, and don't forget the lovely, lovely staff that run this place, without their enthusiasm this hotel would not be what it is today. Happy Harry on Reception, always ready for a chat and to help with any enquiry you have. Then into the dining room where you are welcome with open arms (sometimes literally), by the lovely Mary, Dor and Pedro and their team of tireless helpers. Everyone is so laid back and always ready for a chat. There is no dressing up for the evening, shorts and teashirt is quite accepted. The food is a bit up and down, but that depends on your taste I suppose, but mostly it was fine for us. Breakfast was sometimes cold, but there is a microwave to heat it all up for you. The evening entertainment was very good indeed. Local acts are booked most evenings, and we enjoyed all of them - except the Parrot evening !! We had a wonderful room on the 4th floor, overlooking the bay, and although we had the busy road beneath us, the room was quiet at night. No need to hire a kettle, drinks machine of various varieties always on tap by the bar. We hope to revisit next year.

Enjoyed last year so much that we came back again!
Love the location of this hotel and the staff are so friendly. Stayed there last year with my teenage children and it was great. Rooms are a little tired and need an upgrade but it's 3 stars you get what you pay for and they are clean. But I'd rather stay in this convenient location with the staff who work very hard to make you feel that you're important, we don't hire a car and everything we need is to hand. All inclusive gives you 3 decent buffet meals a day and snacks and drinks by the pool in between. There's some entertainment in the evening. Pool is small and sunbeds are tightly packed in but we found other holiday makers really friendly on the whole and there's a lovely family beach directly opposite the hotel. They will loan you towels and umbrellas for the beach use on a first come, first served basis. Great wifi in room and around hotel/pool which my teens loved. Aircon in rooms was welcome as it was up in the 30s when we were there. Would go back again.

Dreadful.
For all inclusive they ran out of food, drinks and hospitality. The pool bar did not open as advertised, sun beds hogged by empty towels in an unmanaged system. Clearly a hotel for recognised regulars as otherwise standards are not always the same. Many things not as advertised e.g. 2 pools means one small pool and a pond up the corner!! One receptionist helpful, the room cleaner was lovely on the 1st floor and the location was great. We will not return to this hotel and I would suggest others consider carefully before going. It needs a manager that is visible, cares about the guests and wants them to have a good holiday. Very disappointing.

Had a great week here - we'd go back again!
Lovely basic hotel. Not luxurious but met all our needs. Brilliant position in the town. Busy but not too busy. Everything at hand. Good bus route. Beach right across the street. Shops and eateries all around. Staff really friendly and helpful. Wide variety of food available on all inclusive - always something to suit the different tastes in our familiy. Pool small and sunbeds were close together but most days it wasn't overly busy as it was so near to the beach. Hotel loans out on first come, first served basis, beach towels; umbrellas and mats to take to the beach. Free Wifi in rooms and common areas. We didn't have a straight sea view, but if you look straight ahead there was a lovely view of the mountains and the hotels in between and the sea to the side. Everywhere was being cleaned constantly and rooms were serviced 6 days a week. Aircon stopped working one night and was repaired within a few hours of reporting it next morning. Bit of entertainment on at night, it was adequate for us, we don't expect 24 hr entertainment, but not much for the kids, they either played together or played cards or went on their ipads and chilled. Had some English speaking channels on TV to keep up with BBC news and music or American programmes and think it got CBBC too. No rowdy parties there, mainly families and couples. Cocktails and mocktails served on the terrace in the evenings. We were 3 adult sized people and had 3 proper single beds and still had space to move around the room.

Hotel is in a quiet part of Palmanova just across the road from the beach. Rooms are basic but very comfortable & clean. Staff are all really friendly and helpful and made you feel very welcome. The food was great with a good selection to suit everyone's tastes and plenty of it. Would definitely return to this hotel.

Nothing Spanish about your stay here.
If you are looking for typical Spanish food and accommodations, don't come here. The service was fine and food ok, but clearly tailored to the English, Scottish and German tourists that want to experience the Spanish beach while not being exposed to the Spanish culture.
