Hotel Tropical Park

Lovely spotlessly clean hotel in small, peaceful resort. We stayed on bed and breakfast basis and food was plentiful and good. Staff helpful and welcoming. Pool area great. Special mention to daytime entertainments guy from Northampton I think who worked so hard all day running pétanque, aqua aerobics, table tennis, etc. our room and balcony very clean, modern and spacious. Lovely bar called Eden down the road doing great cocktails and lots of restaurants to eat out at night. We had a great few days there in glorious winter sunshine. Would definitely return.

I’d stayed in this resort before, but couldn’t get in the original hotel of choice. We had seen this hotel, and after a bit of reviewing it, we booked it. We were not disappointed. The hotel and suites are fabulously clean. The cleaners were in every day. I saw the cleaners cleaning anything that didn’t move around the hotel. It was great to see. The suites are extremely well stocked with kitchen gadgets, a great kettle and coffee maker ( need filters) were all we needed being on half board. A large fridge freezer too. We were pleased to have decent sized mugs too. Great comfortable sofa, TV with numerous channels, including some English. Balcony was a nice size, we could sit four of us comfortably. The bathroom had a small but decent hairdryer and decent towels. The bedroom had an area for hanging clothes, we asked for more hangers which were provided very quickly. Oddly there was only one (mirrored) door that slide over two of the spaces. There is a keypad safe in this area, which there was no cost for. The restaurant was interesting. For the first few days we had really good hot food breakfast and evening meal. This is why I’m not giving 5 out of 5. There was a great choice of food, and when it was hot it was good, but sadly when it was cold it wasn’t too good. There seemed to be themed meals in the evening. There was plenty of choice of main courses and also sweets. Breakfast was also a good choice of food, including porridge which was nice, fruit, cereals the usual fried breakfast, cheeses, meats and breads. It’s a pity that the cold food let meals down. There were two pools. The one near the bar/restaurant is heated, and was warm. The other one, let’s say was damn cold! However this pool was quieter away from the children. Various activities in the day, but no evening entertainment. There is the laundry area, washing machine which is handy if needed. It’s next to the stage almost. Yes the hotel has lots and lots of stairs and no lift (the lift available only takes you from reception area to pool/restaurant area. It’s not good for those with mobility issues, although there are some more accessible rooms. The area is a quieter area, with a couple of supermarkets down the hill. There is an area of bars and restaurants over the road, down the hill, with a variety of different restaurant. Some very good ones. There isn’t much in the way of walks, you can walk along the coast into Playa Parasio, the next resort. It’s a windy route, but worth it. There is a small shopping centre there and a larger hipadino supermarket. Two buses run through, 471 and 473. They go from down past Nebula, yes, just down the hill. 471 starts in Callao Salvaje onto Play Parasio, Adele onto Los Cristianos. The 473 runs from Los Cristianos, Adele. Callao Salvaje onto Los Gigantes. My friend rented a bicycle to go off cycling the mountains. The bike point was just over the road at the hotel opposite. The staff were all friendly and helpful, we
