My family and I just got back from a 5 night stay at the TropiRock hotel and we could not have found a better place for us! It is 1 1/2 blocks away from the beach and about a 10 - 15 minute walk to the main strip with restaurants and shops by Las Olas Blvd. (2 min by car). It is a very clean, quiet, comfortable place with a very unique atomosphere surrounded by lush tropical landscaping. We had a large effeciency on the 2nd floor with two double beds and a bright and sunny kitchen area. The owner, Mick, goes the extra mile and is one of the most friendliest people that you can ever meet. There is great coffee all morning long, daily newspaper, free internet, and free beach chairs and boogie boards to take to the beach. If you are the type of person who enjoys staying at large, commerical hotels with lots of people by the pool area, etc., then this is not the place for you. WIth all that this hotel has to offer, it is one of the BEST values in the Fort Lauderdale area. My family and I will definately be back at the TropiRock on our next trip to Fort Lauderdale! Thank you Mick for a great stay - Joe, Ann, Andrea
