Hotel Tropico Playa

just got back from a week in this hotel.
the hotel is in a good position and we had lovely weather.
really close to magalluf and was a nice walk along the beach to get into the main strip.
food in the hotel was nice and the rooms were very clean.
overall had a good holiday!

Just got back from a two week stay was realy worried after reading the reviews but had a fab time, staff very nice at the hotel rooms cleaned every day by very polite maids. Only fault was the evening entertainments rep after seeing also hearing her talk to the other families in the hotel we decided to give the evenings in the hotel a miss. menu needs to change to more choice also we had an early morning flight (07.30 am)the resturant did not open this is the first hotel i have been to were the resturant is not open.

We have just returned from the hotel tropico and had a brilliant time. What can i say i was really worried about going when i read the reviews but when we got there we were really surprised it was really clean and the room was great.
The breakfast was good with a wide range of choices including fried breakfast and international and it was hot, the evening meal was also great and had a large range to choose from, everyone should be satisfied, infact we said that it was some of the best food we had ever had in spain, plus the staff in the restaurant are good fun, we never had to wait for a table either.
All the staff were very helpful and very nice they couldn't do enough for u, if we wanted the room cleaning then we would put out the sign to say please clean on the door, our room was cleaned everyday.
The entertainment was good fun, we didn't use the pool as the beach is only accross the road but it looked very clean and there was always alot of people in it, if u want to use the sunbeds on the beach it will cost 9 euros for 2 beds and the parasol.
The view from our room was amazing it looked over the pool and straight onto the beach we couldn't of asked for better.
Palma nova was a lovely place and very clean, i would advise getting the bus into palma because the cathedral is an amazing sight.
The only downside to the hotel is that our flight was on the sunday morning at 4.25am but we were made to leave the room by 12 noon on the saturday before and u have to leave your cases in the lobby but they will keep anything behind the desk such as your passports and tickets so they are safe, they say u can book a complimentary room but it turned out that this is just the toilet near the pool which was a nightmare, but please don't let u put this off because i would go again as long as i had different flight times and didn't have to wait.
In total i was really pleased with this holiday and would go back again.

Just got back from 2 weeks staying in the hotel, had a great time weather fantastic!!! dissapointed with the air conditioning in the room very poor!! staff very friendly especially the resturant staff Cirilo, Sheila, Anita etc... & also Vicky on reception on our arrival was very helpful. Food was o.k couldn't really complain but did get a little to the same the second week we were there! Hotel very clean & maid service we couldn't fault. Brilliant situation of the hotel right opposite the beach & close to all shops, pubs etc.... Would defitnatly recommend this hotel to people & I would visit again.

just got back from tropico playa, had a great time i agree with rooms are too small as we went with 2 kids and had 4 beds in one room but as we only used room to change and sleep not a problem. they was cleaned every day with fresh towels, the full hotel was cleaned every day from top to bottom, we had great beach view.food was great lots of choice for us and for fussy kids like mine as well breakfast was full english but also had choice of cereal,fresh fruit, cold meats ,cheese , bread rolls,yoghurt and pastries .evening entertainment was good most nights especially liked arnold gutbucket. childrens entertainer was naff but my kids loved her as did most of the kids and she used to keep me entertained cause she was so poor... staff was lovely and worked very hard especially gail who worked at the pool bar and neil who worked in the bar on a night was quiet amusing once you got to know him. the only down side on my point of view was the pool was too deep for my kids aged 7&8 4ft at shallow end but my kids became stronger swimmers because of it and the beach is just across the road so they could go in the sea.
all in all a great holiday would recommend to anyone

stayed at this hotel before it is in a prime location across from the beach .have to disagree with the misery below the food is excellent they have new chefs and they were brilliant ,i am a fussy eater but there was loads of choice ,breakfast was the usual english with a vast choice ,there was fresh fruit ,cereals continental hams and cheeses, yoghurts , nuts ,cakes and different types of breads every day .dinner had an excellent choice there was a large selection of salads , cold cuts and fresh fish ,then there were always at least four hot choies ,i have 2 kids and they never complained ,especially puddings as there was loads , food i would give 9/10 only negative being the small dining room and small plates ,if plates were bigger we wouldnt need to keep going back up for more ! waiters cyrilo and angel were really hardworking and friendly as were the rest of the staff including vicky the reception manager .we had a sea view which was great ,however the rooms are not really family rooms four beds in one litle room no privacy and is not good.
maid service was daily and the rooms were kept really clean and towels changed every day !
evening entertainment was surprisingly good too the hypnotist adn comedians were brilliant ,bingo and quiz nights run by the most boring woman in christendom!
book your tickets through reception or actuall go yourselves to the trips first choice rip you off terribly !
pool area is too small but pool was warm and temperatures were 33 degrees so good luck if you are going out there,air con by the way is free in the rooms
the only really bad thing i can say about this hotel is that the rooms really are to small and lacking in privacy ,but if there are two of you it is a great base and great location ,the hotel has been there for 38 years + and is great not so palma nova that is turning into blackpool with a pretty beach and i find the cosmopolitan feel that was there 10 years ago now has gone and it is all too sadly merging into magalluf

Staff were really helpful and friendly. great breakfast buffet. major things lacking were hairdryer and fridge VERY IMPORTANT!lots of tours if that is your thing. comfy beds. very handy for beach but weather wasnt great but thats not your fault!!!

just got back from this hell holiday (14th june 2008),been to palma nova in majorca a few times,resort is very nice.
hotel is just hell food not cooked for breakfast and evening meal we ate out after 2days.staff not nice we took 2 kids out age 17 and 13 notthing in hotel for them.
we stayed for 2weeks and sheets on beds never changed.kids rep was drunk while doing a mini disco for the under 10s, slide on the wet floor with loads of bleach ect been put on with no sign, we hire a fridge(cool box) out for 2weeks which was 75 euros and than was told by staff not to tell other guess due to people should only hire them if u have a baby,this hotel states a 3star hotel i wouldnt give it a 1star need shutting down.own first night the door came off they diddnt do anythink untill late afternoon the following day also people room was getting painted and they wasnt to go in they room untill that night without curtains up has paint was still wet.pool flitter wasnt working but still letting people in there,to much to list but if your thinking about going to this hotel please dont waste your money it was the hell hotel.
if you want a nice hotel in palma nova than try santa lucia going through thomson very nice

The hotel is in a perfect location as it is central to shops, beacher, bars etc. The hotel it self is avarage, we was lucky and got a very spacios room, however we had no sun on it so that was a bit rubbish!. Also you could hear everything your neighbours did and you could hear people walking above your head which kept me and my boyfriend up!
It is very clean, as the cleaners come in every day :D
The food is very poor, breakfast is ok, but the evening meals weren't really up to standard and by the time u got to your table the food was cold.
The staff were very nice and helpful
Overall it's a good hotel, but just needs to improve it's menu

After being a bit worried by the other reviews on this page i was kind of wondering what i was letting myself in for!! It turned out the hotel was lovely! Rooms are pretty basic but very clean! The beds are sooo comfy!! The pool area is a bit small but it was stated when i booked! It didnt really matter as the beach was accross the road!! The food is nothing special but fine for a week. You must try the hawian toast yum!! The waiters r nuts n very friendly! Hotel was right in the middle of all the shops and you can pick up busses right outside to Magaluf and Palma!
Beware if booking your trips with your rep as they will charge for children wen the actuall place does not! We got charged to take my 2 yr old daughter to marine land but when we got there we found under 3s are free!! The same also applies for Katmandu! Under 7s are free! But i wouldnt recomend it for the under 5s although our rep said it was fine! My 2yr old was petrified!!
All in all i had a lovely time staying at the Tropico and would def love to go back!
