Tropicana Category 4 stars

My Family and I Love spending time at the Tropicana. We are heading back in February 2012 and can not wait to see all the staff and the new pool.

love it..going back in january woohoo !!!

Great place, friendly staff, wonderful location right on the best beach in PV

I visited PV for the first time in January. I stayed in 4 different hotels, and also one rental condo during my weeks there. The Tropicana was my favorite. The staff is so friendly and helpful, and it was the quietest place to sleep. After listening to dogs barking incessantly and roosters crowing all morning at other places, it was so nice to have such a quiet place. I spent an hour each evening before bed sitting on my terrace listening to the waves. I'm planning on coming back this next January, and will stay at the Tropicana again.

the jr. suites are the best at the tropicana last time i was there had to stay at different hotel because the jr. suites please keep them open!! luv the tropicana!!

What we liked: The hotel was very clean, albeit a bit old fashioned. We loved the location - right on the beach. The desk staff was friendly and responsive to our needs (hot water, for example).
What we didn't like: The restaurant staff on site was very unfriendly and really didn't seem interested in serving us.
The hot water situation, although solved, now was soooooooooo hot, unpredictable scalding water would come out of the shower head - YIKES!
The pool only has 10 soft cushions for the chairs -there are at least 40 chairs - would be a good idea to get more cushions!

We really liked this hotel and the location is perfect for sites and restaurants.

The staff here are wonderful - bellmen, security, housekeeping, reception - just the nicest, finest you can imagine. This is very important to us. The staff, together with the location and meticulous cleanliness and maintenance, earn this hotel its high rating from us. Others have mentioned hard beds; we did not notice this. Our room was a "superior" in the building to the north of reception - very quiet with a view of the beach from our north-facing window. We liked this better than full west (beachfront) view because the sun was not beating on our balcony and room all day, although the balcony was sunny all afternoon. The public areas are lovely and friendly. We met lots of nice people there and can't wait to return.
One more thing - we used to come here dancing in the early '70s. They had a great band then. I missed that this time, but I think the tranquil atmosphere now is more what we're looking for, since we're no longer 20-somethings. Good memories though.

Arriving in two weeks to the Tropicana. This will be our third stay and I doubt we ever stay anywhere else. Perfectly located in the Romantica Zone, it is within walking distance to great food, shopping and activities. Great views and beautiful beach and pool. The marble lobby is very grand, and the staff most accomadating. Can't wait to see everyone.

Second time staying here at the Tropicana. This time on the 8th floor in the main hotel. Newly painted and brand new mattresses. Wonderful stay just before Christmas!! Service was good and the guys were making sure that you always had something to sip on while lounging around the pool.
