Arriving at this hotel we were optimistic and glad to be anywhere in Aruba escaping from Illinois in the winter. By day three we have been extremely unsatisfied with our bathtub which leaked every time we showered forcing us to cover the floor in towels that the hotel was very hesitant at giving us a fresh pear in exchange for...

the newly renovated rooms are a great improvement. We love the pool area. Great poolside bar and grill. The nearby beach (across the street) is great. Near several nice restaurants. They work working on adding a casino last year. We've stayed several times. 20 min walk to the high rise area or short cab ride. More

The Tropicana was as we had expected. The resort does need updating and you can see that they are trying. The exterior of the buildings are being painted and they are cleaning other exterior railings and buildings. The pools are clean and the slide is fun. The jacuzzi was clean but we wished it had been hotter. It is quiet... More

My husband and I have just returned after a week's vacation (January 14 - 21, 2012) at the Tropicana. It IS an older hotel, undergoing renovations, but our room was quite large, very clean, with a separate bedroom, large bathroom, and a living room/kitchen that met all our needs. Closet space was more than adequate. The staff was very friendly,... More

It was inconvenient because we had to pack all our groceries up for storage and unpack everything again. The cabinets were peeling and... More

Went mid Jan for 5 nites w/ two kids (10 &13) The pool was nice/clean enough, kids enjoyed the slide, friendly pool bartenders. I never heard any noise/music after 7pm at the pool, and our balcony overlooked pool bar. No other activities for kids besides a small arcade. Thought we could use the pool at LaCabana, from reading other reviews,... More

We just returned from a one week stay at the Tropicana. This was an exchange timeshare through II. It was a disappointment. We knew that the hotel was in a pre-renovations phase. We don't mind 'old' slightly worn, but we do mind 'dirty'. When we entered the room (living room, kitchenette and bedroom), it was obvious it was quite old.... More

The hotel staff members were exceptionally friendly and accomodating. However, they completely messed up our reservation and the people in our party were at opposite ends of the hotel initially. However, they worked hard to correct this which they did on the third night, and one individual (Raymond) went out of his way to help us in many ways. The... More

The Resort needs to be shut down cause it's unfit for humans. More
