Lovely, Relaxing Stay

We loved our stay at Tropical Resort. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Our suite of clean and comfortable and it was nice to have a full-size frig and stove as I cooked several meals while we were there. The property is beautiful and peaceful. Can't wait to visit again.

Perfect solo trip

I could not have been more happier to be at this beautiful Inn by the Lake. The staff and the new owner were kind and super helpful. This truly was one of my best mini vacations i have had. Hidden gem i will surely be returning to in the future.

This place is a bit of Old Florida. It's had that charm of Old time lake vacationing. The rooms are clean and are set with a kitchenette. The property people are all friendly and eager to help you out if you need something. We will definitely be returning in the near future. Pool, basketball court, shuffle board, corn hole, fishing and pointing Pontoon boat rentals. Everything in one place to enjoy your stay.

We LOVED it here! We stayed here during our visit to Downtown Deland (very short 10min drive) and blue springs (20 min drive). This is NOT a Marriott or a Hilton, this is hotel has the old Florida feel. Room and bathroom was super clean, check in was fast and super convenient, there is fire pits and a clean pool and basketball a loading dock . Very quiet at the end of the road at the lake. I would definitely go back.

This place is awesome a little bit different, but very clean and comfortable and everybody was super nice and courteous. I got a two bedroom suite very comfortable super clean all on one floor no slamming doors like a regular hotel no noise like a regular hotel and the best thing about it is they take animals it doesn’t matter how many or how big they are you can bring your dogs which to me is the best thank you all so much. It was a wonderful experience. I will be back.😆

Old Florida Style

I really enjoyed the old Florida vibe here. I was surprised at the ashtrays on the tables outside each room, but we never had a neighbor so smokers weren’t a problem. The bed was great, one of the best I’ve had at a hotel. Being on/ near the lake was great for an evening wind down. There are charcoal grills available in the ‘quad’ area. Also a fire pit, pool, and several outdoor activities. The kitchen was lacking, it had the basics, but barely. If you go and plan to cook at home, pack your own utensils. We had a pot and a pan, 4 each of plates, saucers and silverware. No mixing bowls or serving pieces. I ended up washing all of the kitchenware before use due to a dirty spoon ( see pic). The bathroom is sparse but certainly functional. All and all I would go again, I would pack more for meal plans.

The pictures in the listing for this property are not representative of the "resort" - they are pictures of some other hotel, most likely many other hotels. These are pictures posted by the owners of this establishment. Very shady and borderline scam behavior. This property is WAY too expensive for what it is. The rooms are quite outdated and they don't look clean. We found old food on the floor from a previous stay and the bed linens were stained as well. We were very disappointed.
