Disappointed and Unsatisfied
Fell short of our expectation. Overly priced for the poor facilities. Food is terrible and overly priced. Rooms are rundown. Lots of mosquitoes and the pool is not that clean. The beach area has goats and dogs roaming around. I will definitely not recommend this hotel unless they improve.

Nice, comfortable Hotel, great location
This is 4th time stayed here & is by far the best Hotel is the general area. Staff as usual were fantastic, all so very friendly & helpful. Room was clean, quite spacious, bed quite comfortable maybe a little hard, if you want coffee making facilities ask at reception & they will provide. Biggest drawback is the noisy corridors outside the rooms. Echoes & noise travels whole way along. Particularly bad if there happens to be a wedding party getting ready, everyone coming & going, slamming doors etc & kids are running up & down corridor all day playing & shouting. Not good if you want an afternoon nap! Note to Hotel Management - Keep all the guests attending or preparing for function in GF rooms & other guests who want a quiet relaxing vacation, in 1F rooms. Be careful not to deter your core Client base from returning! Food is good, well cooked & generous portions. Try the Mongolian rice! Relax in the pool & watch the local fisherman returning with their catch, go buy fresh fish from them & ask the Hotel kitchen to cook for you for a small charge, excellant! Pool & Beach are great. Views by day & night are fantastic. This Hotel is not perfect & is probably somewhere between 3 & 4 stars, but we love it for all its good points.

Stay at the Playa Tropical
The resort needs renovation. No WiFi Services in rooms. The WiFi in lobby area was poor. Room amenities was poor.. no face & hand towel. We had to request bath floor mat everyday if our stay. Toiletries were limited. Playa Tropical could be a very nice resort with renovations & upkeep

2-star at best
The ONLY good thing about this hotel is the staff, all were friendly and courteous. The food is ok. Lets start with the room - its certainly outdated, poor drainage in the sink, some tight spots were dusty, loose screws in several areas. The airconditioning was nice and strong. Pillows were hard as wood. The pool is nice overlooking the beach but there's this strong smell, maybe heavily chlorinated. The have a game room that needs regular inspection. The billiards(pool) balls was missing the no.8 ball (staff aware of this, i don't know for how long), the table tennis(ping pong) table was there but staff said they don't have a ball (only old rackets). So why do you have games that are not playable??? Breakfast was average. Beach is just a few steps away but is dirty and this hotel does not have a private beach front. There were several people camping directly in front of the hotel towards the beach (not hotel guests) so if you want privacy while in the beach then think again.

It was mispresented, pictures Ads not we stayed
It was a disappointment once we got there, mis presentation, pictures on the ads was not the place given to us, we're given ordinary rooms that smells and have to wait for towels. Limited amount of towels (only bath towels) provided. There were extra charge if we transfer to the pictures on the ads (casa). We were told that we paid the ordinary rooms not for the one showing in the pictures. We ended up paying extra money just to upgrade and again, we have to wait for the towels (just bath towels provided) limited supply or else you pay extra. There was communication issue between Expedia and Playa Tropical and customer has to suffer and Playa Tropical was inconsiderate as a result. The view is okay but accommodation is very poor. Need improvement for false advertisement.

Very disappointed. Very outdated,
The place is totally far different from what they show in the website that includes the services. Very disappointing. Booked for 2 nights but stayed only for a night, a horrible smell comes out when hot water is on. Swimming pool not that clean.

Liked: Cleanliness
a rough diamond but still shines
Advertised with free massage but was not available, until I complained there was no tea or coffee making facility within the room, out of the 10 night stay we had hot water for morning showers only 4 of them rest was cold showers !!. The staff were friendly and helpful and the ambeince of the resort was idylic. food was reasonable priced and a good selection. what saved it for me was the highly effective air conditioning within the room and comfortable bed. would highly recommend this hotel as long as you're not expecting european levels of service and comfort its a good 4 out of 5 I will be going again
