Here is experience of my one week stay at Tropicana in November 2008. I have been a little bit scared having read not so optimistic reviews on this site. However this is unjustified in my opinion.

Stayed at the Tropicana Hotel for 6 days in October 2005. The photos on the website show the pools on the front as though they belong to the hotel. These are public swimming pools. There is nothing wrong with the hotel, it is the area where it is located. Security staff warn you not to take any valuables at all... more

Breakfast is good but hectic if you need to eat early.Leave until around 9am if you can it is then peaceful and relaxed. Reception staff are good on the whole.Raj the porter... more
