Absolutely loved our stay at the Tropicana, it’s a modern hotel in a great location with restaurants cafes and bars all walkable distance. The rooms were clean, had security at the entrance and was very convenient having the juno cafe next door. Only downside was the top floor pool is quite small but there are several pools by the pavilion if you want to go swimming.
