I don't know where to start. I guess from the very 1st phone call I ever had w/ Mick-he was amazing. I work in the travel industry and the time I was in Fl (last week) was very busy. When I called to make arrangements for my biz partner and myself, so many places were too expensive (spring break/convention time=higher prices and few discounts for me in the industry), already full, wouldn't return my phone call, or just plain had horrible reviews. After hours (literally) of searching, I found Tropi Rock…and I got the last room that was available for the time we needed! Thank God! This place was sooo amazing and the price was even better. Mick (owner) is one of the absolute nicest people you will ever meet!
From the tropical garden, to the tennis courts, to the 3-minute walk to the beach, a cook-out area, shuffle board, amazing pool, water fountain, shower by pool built in to a tree, another water fountain, themed rooms, unique character, fridge in every room, Oliver (the hotel dog), 3 minute walk to the citi-bus stop, 8 minute walk to a delicious pizza place, 1 walk to the trolley, 20 minute walk to one (of MANY) malls, to sooo much more, I would recommend this place to anyone! They gym…better than some “name brand” hotels have and Mick said most people don’t even use it. Use the gym! Not big, but big enough w/ many workout options. My favorite: the free weights. What hotel offers you free weights?? Most don’t!
The rooms are clean, bathrooms are great. They have complimentary coffee every morning, complimentary towels for the beach. Even the ICE CREAM MAN stopped right in front of the hotel. I felt like a kid again. I bought myself an Oreo ice cream stick.
If you are going to Ft. Lauderdale and you found the Tropi Rock, STOP! Don’t look any further. Pick up the phone, call the Tropi Rock, and Reserve your room today before they’re all gone (b/c that almost happened to me.) Check out their site too. http://www.tropirock.com.
