Hotel Palia Tropico Playa

Autumn sun with my daughter. Booked this hotel for 3 nights. Warm welcome. Spacious room, tv, fridge, coffee machine and hairdryer. Good variety of food and drinks. It would have been nice if Cavan was on the menu. Staff were friendly and helpful. Swimming pool clean and well tended. They didn’t open the doors until 10am when the pool open so sun bed wars which was refreshing. Hotel itself had a modern feel.

The positives outweigh the negatives - Positives - New clean hotel Big rooms and balcony Good choice of food Drinks on all inclusive good (cocktails only average) Good pools Fantastic location with beach on the doorstop Friendly staff (mostly) Towels changed daily Jordi entertainment around pool Negatives- Pool opening times 10am-6pm Some of the male pool bar staff not really friendly and twice played loud explicit music which totally did not go with the atmosphere Flies in dining area Evening drinking seats not the comfortable Evening entertainment room totally bizarre as no bar service

Had a brilliant stay here at Tropico Playa at the beginning of August. Staff are friendly especially Ahmed on reception who always said hello and Thomas doing aqua aerobics and the bingo quiz(he was so entertaining and had many nationalities to deal with). Restaurant and bar staff worked hard and restaurant and rooms lovely and clean. Plenty of food and drink all day, my sons loved the pizza especially. Some nights were slightly themed like Mexican and Chinese but there was always other choices too. Maybe the cold meats, cheese and salad could be covered as I saw an occasional fly. Pool area was great, no issues with sun beds. Pool noodles and balls were bought out at times, one day this led to a mass pool dodgeball game which my 15 years loved. Only disappointment is that it closed at 6pm, during high season with the heat it would be nice to stay open later. Music was played at the right level. Entertainment is slightly lacking, I would say this hotel isn’t aimed at younger children. My teenagers played darts but there could be more things arranged. Suggested a pool Table in the pool bar area, doesn’t have to be live entertainment although I’m sure this would be appreciated. We had 2 rooms and both did not have working safes. We did report but it wasn’t fixed so had to hold of passports. Hotel is across the road from the beach, sometimes after eating in the air conditioned restaurant we would sit out the front and watch the world go by, evenings spent at the pool bar. Went up to look at the roof terrace area, view was amazing but we didn’t stay as it was so hot in the August heat . Despite any issues we had a wonderful time and wouldn’t hesitate to come back again!
