Tropic Isle Hotel & Apartment

Very close to the beach

NA

Location! Price! Decent, safe place to stay. Very clean. Quiet. Nice workers. Very pleased.

Great location super close to the beach and Broadwalk. Very comfortable bed, and all was clean. Fridge in room was nice and quiet. A/C in good shape. The kitchen equipment was older but all worked fine. There could have been a little more equipment (only two knives, two forks, etc.) and the frying pan should really be replaced. However, the water was good and warm, and all was as described (except for the bikes).

Other than receiving the code for the apartment easily, we had a hard time communicating with the host. In the description we saw that they offered bikes, but they didn't. The office was mostly abandoned, no one to talk to. The door mechanism was not easy to figure out, we managed to figure out the opening eventually (arriving at 10:30pm) but not the locking of it from the outside. A random person only speaking Spanish was kind enough to help us figure it out. Not sure he was even affiliated with the hotel in any way. The next day we overheard other guests teaching each other how the door mechanism worked. We also never figured out how to make the water come out of the shower head, only the bathtub faucet. We could not find a single soul to speak English to us. The cleaning staff only spoke Spanish but was gone by the time I had my sentence together in Spanish. It seems as though just a few more explanations would have gone a long way, as well as a bit more staff presence. Removing the claim of bicycles from the description would be more upstanding.

Location is everything for this place

Water pressure in shower was very low and had mold.
