First I have to give it up to the staff, all of the staff at Tropical Casablanca are super friendly and knowledgeable, everyday they gave us undivided attention, tips and great recommendations for food and shops. I especially want to thank Emilia and Daniella every day they gave us excellent advice in English and Spanish. The staff there goes above and beyond in providing the best information. Also the natural Cenote (Estuary) that the hotel is built around is beautiful and filled with wildlife. It is in a perfect part of town, for night life, touristy down-town, the beach, I found it closer to the beach than the resorts we had travelled to. They organized and guided us to excursions at a great rate. I have nothing but praise for the hotel. It also includes a bar and Diving Center where you can become certified in the hotel pool and go out for dives in the ocean.

The staff is absolutely amazing! And the owner Nicola is so wonderful. You can't help but fall in love with them, they're all just great! And the location couldn't be better...one block from the beach and one block from 5th Avenue (which if you've never been is exactly where you want to be...tons of restaurants and shopping to be done)! The unfortunate thing about this hotel though is that over the past couple of years, a few dance clubs opened up right next to the place. From what I hear, the local government can regulate the noise level during non-peak/holiday times. I was there for New Year's Eve so they couldn't really do anything about it. So if you're a light sleeper, you might want to consider another place. But if you plan on having a couple drinks before you hit the sack and have some earplugs, you will be fine. And like I said, I'd recommend the place even with the noise. Thanks again Nicola to you and your staff!!

Let's get this out of the way: as many other travelers have attested to, it's loud - given that it's basically on top of at least four nightclubs. Our group was made up of city dwellers and suburbians alike, and we all had trouble sleeping. But long days on the beach paired with ear plugs made sleep not too hard to find.

If you can stomach the noise, this is an exceptional hotel! It's just a hop from the beach. The rooms are simple but clean, and the amenities (robes, fridge, etc) are really nice. The grounds are gorgeous, including lovely common areas (pool, sitting area). The owner Nicola and her staff are extremely accommodating and friendly. We had a great experience here.

This is the loudest place I have ever stayed. I live in New York City and I can sleep almost anywhere. This is like sleeping in the bathroom of the loudest club you can imagine. I am in my early 30s and was there with a group of friends. We were out late every night and this was still an unbearable level of noise. Do not stay there if you plan to go to sleep before 7am. Also it was overpriced for the quality. The only positive is it was quite clean.
