We stayed 3 nights in the Tropical in all, top and tailing a boat trip as with many other people. We stayed in 2 different rooms and it does seem that some have been more recently renovated than others, so maybe worth asking when booking for one of the renovated rooms, but both were perfectly comfortable although bathrooms a little...

We paid US$180/ night for 4 nights. The upside: spa package is priced correctly for Brazil at about R$250/4 hours massage. Has a caged zoo, but its a zoo with a leopard and monkeys outside on the hotel grounds. HSStern store inside allows dollar card transaction and has a no VAT for foreigner system. Boat outside the hotel arranged directly... More

Tropical Hotel is very well located and offer a lot of attractions to Amazon Forest. If you intent to expend most of your time outside, or by business, its ok. But if you like resorts with amenities, good bed, nice shower, tv... please try to find another option.

Our 8-day riverboat trip came to an end about three in the afternoon and our flight home didn't leave until midnight. So we decided to get a hotel near the airport where we could hang out until it was time to leave for home. Our boat captain dropped us off at the Tropical, which has a dock right near it,... More

A little musty, dated, and faded, but in a quirky, charming way. Endless halls of dark wood, red carpets, and botanical prints. Feels a little removed from town, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but you'd think the bar would stay open past 11, considering. It is easy to get lost, walking those halls, and employees aren't always receptive to... More

An old run down hotel that reminded us of the movie The Shining" Lovely staff although they didn't understand English and one of the housemaid s stole our camera and sunglasses.We are currently seeking compensation. A sad Zoo full of beautiful animals living in abject misery in concrete cells. all in all a terrible experience which we would never want... More

Hotel was adequate for a one-night stay (part of Brendan vacations Amazon add-on). Actually a beautiful resort from about 50 years ago. Only complaint is rooms need renovating. But lovely grounds. Very nice overall. Dinner buffet was excellent.

Imagine if you went camping and your sleeping bags got wet and you tossed them into a hot, stuffy shed for a couple of months and then took them out and slept in them. Imagine you left them in a shed for four months and then put them in a closet. The total EWWWWWW factor of mold and mildew and... More

Tropical Manaus, just outside Manaus, Brazil February 2013 Pros: • Sprawling area (several acres); building has only 3 floors and lots of room to roam, especially if you like to hike. [ next door is the Parkside Hotel, a typical high-rise with a more modern style. Boring. ] • Mini zoo with rescued animals, some of which you will never... More
