We stayed at the Tropical hotel last year for a weeks holiday in June 2003. We really enjoyed it. We had a seaview room, which overlooked the pool. It was really stunning. Our rooms were very clean, we especially enjoyed the mini bar filled with chocolate and nuts! The tv had bbc world, and various foreign channels.
The staff were very friendly, and the other hotel guests were in the main British and German.

It is a beach front hotel so you can lie free of charge on the hotels stretch. It is a great location, on a main strip, which leads into the old town. The breakfast buffets were fantastic. A range of breads, rolls, cakes, cereals, toast, and something different every day, boiled eggs, omelettes made to order, french toast, etc.
Waiters very nice, and always so helpful.
We didn't eat dinner there, and opted to try a different place in town every night. Unfortunately most restaurants really cater for the tourists, so the food is very "British" ie Steak, pizzas, etc. But is relatively cheap, and we didn't have any disaster meals.
Only thing to watch out for is the first night we ate near the harbour, and didn't ask the prices of our steaks. Very expensive- make sure prices are displayed or you ask first.

We preferred the main strip for nightlife, as opposed to the old part of town near the harbour. (Less intimidating for girls) You can jump on and off the buses that go up and down the strip very regularly, for the equivalent of something like 50p.
Great bars on the strip and full of tourists.

We went to a restaurant called "Turkish house" which was recommended in a guide book. We went there in a taxi- and as it was dark by the time we went for our dinner, it was quite a scary ride , in what seemed like the middle of nowhere. You could sit inside or outside- watch out for the mosquitos as it is in a remote area. However the food was nice, more traditional, and the owner gave us a lift back to town in his car! Best to stick to the main town for the less adventurous!

Recommend going on a boat trip, really nice lunches provided, and beautiful scenery.

In all the best thing about the holiday was the hotel, safe and clean.
