Hotel Tropicana - Near Olas Altas Street

Hotel Tropicana - Near Olas Altas Street

10/10 Excellent
"Hotel Tropicana is a fantastic hotel. The staff and crew were so kind and efficient even with the slight change to our reservation that we requested. The food was delicious, and the views were spectacular. This hotel has a private beach with the softest sand. It also accommodates chairs and umbrellas for guests. The pool was excellent. The rooms are cleaned daily, and fresh towels are always provided. The hotel is seconds/minutes from all sorts of vendors and restaurants including pharmacies and convenience stores. The malecon is also a short walk from the hotel. We plan to return soon and won't stay anywhere else. We are so glad we chose this hotel for our stay."
