The Tropicana is a great value hotel. You can’t beat the price for a hotel right at the beach. The entire staff were very helpful when I had questions.
The main problem with this hotel was the noise level at night. There were a lot of motorcycles revving there engines late at night.

The staff was helpful and the breakfast was excellent.
The family room wasn't what we expected. The 2 double beds were in 1 room, we thought we'd have 2 separate bedrooms. There are no streaming services such as Netflix etc.
