Apart from a group of very noisy guests on my final 2 days/nights who were drinking, screaming and playing loud music all day and late into the night, I thought the property was great value for money and the staff were all very friendly and polite.

Looks nothing like pictures online. Our room was dirty with thick layer of dust on everything. The black mold on the ceilings and in the ac set off our allergies and asthma. No cutlery, plates, bowls etc. “Deluxe” rooms similar to a cheap hostel. Would not recommend.

The accommodation was basic but it was what I was looking for and the price was very good. Close to the city centre, on the main highway and great staff, the primary thing I like was how quiet the place was. I'd stay at the Hotel Tropiq again.

The furnishings are a bit dated, but the accommodation was clean. The bed was not very comfortable. There is a pool, playground and barbecue area. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Walking distance to restaurants and grocery store.
