Everything about our stay at Tropical Beach was excellent. We arrived late due to a delayed flight and they made arrangements for us to park and receive our key after hours. The room was spotless and had everything we needed. The staff was friendly and helpful and went out of their way to help us with anything we needed. The pool was a nice respite from the heat and humidity and the restaurant on site was delicious. All that and it was affordable, comfortable, and, yes, they have hot water (I know this is an issue at some other places). We truly enjoyed our stay.

We love hotel tropical. The staff are friendly and it is close to the beach. The Jaffe restaurant right on the property is yummy. The rooms are starting to show their age. Lots of minor broken things, a ceiling fan, the window lock, etc.

The room was very small, barely fit our suitcases beside the bed. No coffee maker, if you like loud music this is place for you. Bar right next to our room and music was coming through walls, even tried earplugs. 2nd night people down stairs were partying outside very loud. We checked out early

The place was ok. The room smelled heavily of bug spray and our sheets were stained and possibly dirty. There isn’t enough parking space so we had to move our car so other people could get out. This was a pit stop for us which was ok I wouldn’t stay more than one night.

Really liked Tropical Beach - highly recommend!

Really great choice in Uvita. This was a huge unit with 2 bedrooms with Queen beds and a futon in the living area. Nice pool area that we didn't have time to use. Walking distance to Uvita Beach - which is a great beach! We arrived early for check-in and since our unit was ready, we were allowed to check-in early which is always really helpful. I would definitely stay here again if in the area. Also had air conditioning, which helped to dry out some of our clothes, which were damp from our time in Bahia Drake.
