Club Hotel Riu Tropicana

Nice bungalow-style hotel, but the facilities (pools, dining hall) are much too small in proportion to the number of rooms. The hotel is located on a beautiful small bay. Family hotel with many children, not recommended for couples. Hotel complex is very spacious and situated on a hillside. There is a shuttle service, but it only runs irregularly and is always overcrowded during peak times.

Fantastic hotel with both pool and beach. Super restaurants.

Second visit here, we were anxious it may not live up to memory from a couple of year’s ago but were not disappointed! The staff really do make this resort nothing is too much trouble, everywhere clean and tidy used cups/plates around the pool swiftly removed, gardens maintained daily, public areas continually cleaned, nice to see the addition of food covers/cabinets to the snack bar near the beach since we last visited keeping food hot and fly free. Improved transport service with larger capacity vehicles as well as individual golf buggies, we never waited more than 5 minutes to move easily around the resort despite its size. Yes, the main dining room is noisy/busy but it’s an All Inclusive family orientated buffet so to be expected, there were always tables available and you can find a quieter space outside on the large terrace. Food was varied, good quality, always hot and plentiful. Lots of activities for children at the main pool and kids club, if you’re looking for a calmer area choose a beach level room which is a much quieter and chilled atmosphere. The Mexican/BBQ restaurant there is really lovely and nothing like the main restaurant in terms of ambience you could be in a different resort offering the best of both worlds. Branded drinks, plentiful free drinking water from stations over the resort, ice creams/frozen cocktails brought around the pool daily in addition to help yourself access to snacks, ice cream and drinks already. Local buses handily stop outside reception for those who want to explore further afield. Rooms are small but we knew that, larger and with a more private bathroom would be the icing on the cake for those of us without the budget for the family suites, but the beds are comfortable, rain shower fab and rooms have good air con. Overall a really great holiday and very glad we came back!
