Just returned from a stay at the Tropicana, stayed here before quite a few years ago. I love the relaxed vibe about it and the very spacious apartments, though a chest of drawers would be a massive help in the bedroom. Excellent staff and facilities. My only negative, would be the Siesta next door using the hotel, beach and pool. They should have booked the Tropicana in the first place? There's a guy on the beach opposite the hotel, who looks after the sunbeds, but doesn't really monitor it well enough, people in the Jasmin and siesta were using the beds, sometimes he told them no and pointed to their beach area or just ignored them and carried on chatting to his friends or just sat and smoked. It was easy if it was the Jasmin, as they wore blue wristbands, as it was an all inclusive, perhaps the Tropicana and Siesta should have their own coloured wrist bands, just to make it easier? Being by the pool was almost an all inclusive vibe, you definitely got better service there, food and drinks being brought to your beds, but the beds are very close together and big groups of people hung out together laughing, smoking ,which if you want to chill would be impossible, equally the siesta were told they could use the pool, so limited your use of that area. The supermarket had very limited choice, drinks at the bar were expensive and the food ok. We chose to go out every night for food, as there's lots of choice in the main town or along the coastal path. The walk into Gumbet town by road, was very dark in places and the pavement uneven, didn't feel very safe, equally the coastal path was dirty and dark in places too, it just looked tired and lots of litter around. I would recommend a visit to Bitez, very chilled out place, fab places to eat and spotless, no sellers hassling you, equally preferred Bodrum by night, great places to eat and you have the castle and harbour. I would of course come back and appreciate when you choose this time of year to come away, with it being the end of season, you can just tell workers at hotels/restaurants/shops can't wait to finish, so maybe the service isn't as attentive, as at the start and thru the summer months. Cleaners and bar staff at Tropicana always cheerful tho.
