My boyfriend and I stayed at the Tropicoco on a last-minute trip to Havana, Cuba. When we pulled up to the hotel, we looked at each other wide-eyed both thinking, "this looks like a prison." But we were happily surprised when we went inside to find a rather large lobby area, complete with a pool table and ping pong table.... More

Hotel tropicoco great location, but everything else was crap. Rooms old and small, food was un identifiable, staff service was good. The hamburger girl was always missing in action. Security always stop me and asked what I wanted? Even though I am wearing hotel bracket, for the price I expected what I got, nothing like hotels in Varadero

This year I spent from February 9 to March 9 at the Tropicoco and enjoyed every minute of my vacation. Very pleased to see the ramp that has been put in. It makes it much easier to take luggage in and out, also my bicycle, plus a ramp is easier on aging knees that climbing stairs. So great to see... More

Nice clean rooms, friendly staff and a slightly run down building on a lovely stretch of beach (across the street about 100 meters). Not a bad place for the price. Only serious criticism is the food. Cuba is renowned for bad food but Tropicoco takes bad to a new level. Still I was there a week and was able to... More

My wife and I booked 9 nights .... We have traveled a lot and would never stay there again. We lasted 1 night. The food was not edible, the service was non-existent, the staff were RUDE, the resort was filthy, the rum was the closest thing to rubbing alcohol, the beach loungers were all broken and the umbrellas were ripped...

Do you want good access to Havana while staying just a walking distance from the best beaches in the area? then Tropicoco is the answer where its shuttle bus will take you in the morning or in the afternoon for you to visit all Havana has to offer, then take you back to the Hotel just before lunch or dinner....
