Everything about our stay at Tropical Beach was excellent. We arrived late due to a delayed flight and they made arrangements for us to park and receive our key after hours. The room was spotless and had everything we needed. The staff was friendly and helpful and went out of their way to help us with anything we needed. The pool was a nice respite from the heat and humidity and the restaurant on site was delicious. All that and it was affordable, comfortable, and, yes, they have hot water (I know this is an issue at some other places). We truly enjoyed our stay.

We love hotel tropical. The staff are friendly and it is close to the beach. The Jaffe restaurant right on the property is yummy. The rooms are starting to show their age. Lots of minor broken things, a ceiling fan, the window lock, etc.

The room was very small, barely fit our suitcases beside the bed. No coffee maker, if you like loud music this is place for you. Bar right next to our room and music was coming through walls, even tried earplugs. 2nd night people down stairs were partying outside very loud. We checked out early

Quaint hotel close to the beach. Small basic rooms at a good price. Small pool in the middle, nice restaurant. Easy walk to the beach, playa Chaman, part of the National Park. Shower did not have hot water.
