“Great location but hotel website pics represent small fraction of rooms”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed here for the beach location. It is a charming 50s era motel. Of course, it is priced for what you get on the beach with the Westin and other pricey resorts nearby. I would not say it is as bad as other reviewers write. However, the gallery pictures on the hotel website do not represent many of the rooms in this motel. We upgraded to an efficiency based on the pictures. I felt a bait and switch. We got a 3rd floor room with a kitchen as old as your grandma. And they could use a few ant traps. The white tiles in the room are beat up. The room was clean.

The bed was very comfortable and looks relatively new as was other room furnishings. The good news is that it looks like the motel is being updated. The public restrooms near the bar look nearly new. And there is evidence that rooms are being updated according to the web pics. But they are on the 1st and 2nd floor and close to the office. Not sure the pace of renovations, but I recommend to talk directly with the staff and ask for the newer rooms for the best experience.

Room Tip: Ask for 1st and 2nd floor rooms near the office.

“Run Down and Bugs, but Great Location!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

My mom and I stayed at the Tropic Cay January 2012 for a week. When we first arrived we almost left and tried to get our money back. There were small bugs everywhere! Our door looked like someone had tried to break in. Everything was falling apart! We decided to stay, and while we were never happy with the hotel itself, it is in a great location. If you don't mind bugs, blood stains on the sheets, plaster falling off the walls, and everything pretty much broken down then you may enjoy how close it is to the beach and great entertainment.

Room Tip: There really aren't any GOOD rooms, but you may want to get a room on the third floor.

“Yuck”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2012

people found this review helpful

We stayed here for a week in February of 2011. The first room they gave us was so terribly awful that I didn't even go inside. The mold and smell from the door was amazing. The second room they gave us was a huge improvement but still wasn't terribly clean. The bed needed replacing and the couch was so nasty I didn't even want to sit on it.

Room Tip: Pay more and stay someplace a bit nicer.

The first room we were given had a dripping, broken air conditioner about to fall off. Inside there was a terrible smell and ants coming from the bathroom. The second room had bugs all over the bedside table.

Room Tip: Do not go to this hotel.

“Other reviews are not fair, very nice place...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2012

person found this review helpful

I was going to cancel (new years weekend) after reading some of the other reviews, so glad I didn't. This is a cute vintage motel from the fifties. The staff was professional, friendly and very attentive. The room was very clean, new a/c was very cold, new bed (very comfortable too), new pillows, tv with full cable, new lock on door. location could not be better, across from beach and walk to everything. The bar was fabulous, we had an absolutely wonderful time. I can't believe some of the other reviews, this is really a nice place. Thanks to Shawn and Deena for being so great!

Room Tip: There is no elevator, so if you can't climb stairs request first floor.
