Tropic Isle Hotel & Apartment

Clean room, good communication, proximity to beach

This is an old motel with a great proximity to the beach and boardwalk. Fixing the stained dripped AC units on exterior and overall curb apeal would help a ton. It may help improve the clientele which is a bit shaky. If booking in advance, make sure to get in writing when requesting a certain room. A few rooms are bigger with partial ocean views at a low price.

As we were going to be arriving after the office closed at 5pm I had to complete the check in over the phone. Will was very helpful and friendly but wanted me to send a photo of my credit card, something that I was not going to do, but he took the numbers eventually via telephone call. Having an office for a hotel that closes at 5pm is not ideal. After this process he sent me a code for our room door. On arrival we did manage to park in the very small car park. But the room was very old and in very poor condition and dirty. We had booked the family room and clearly stated several times that there would be 6 adults, when we arrived we had to go searching for the sheets for the sofa bed and luckily I had blankets in the car as there were not any provided for the extra bed, and in January it is not always warm. We also had to use pillows from the other beds, please don't advertise the room can sleep 6 when it is not really set up for 6. Especially with only 4 towels. We were only staying one night but we wouldn't have stayed any longer. We left early the following morning and I had to send another text as the office was not yet open. Maybe removing the hotel element of the name would manage expectations of guests, due to the lack of any kind of front desk.

Good room, needs a new microwave oven. The platter doesnt spin. No other issues.

Clean rooms. Outdated in the most perfect way. Beachy retro. Amazing location. Snag it when you can. Perfect for a family get away or quick couples weekend or girls weekend! Easy check in and check out.
