“Away from the Crowd”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 December 2011
4
people found this review helpful

Tropical Sands is in a quiet section of Fort Myers Beach and a great placel to relax. The facility is older but well maintained and the staff is friendly and helpful. You have easy access to churches, markets and restaurants. There are wonderful sunset views from the beach across the street. Looking forward to going back.

Room Tip: Most rooms have view of the pool, however, some rooms have view of a blank wall.

“NIce Place if you know what to expect”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 June 2011

people found this review helpful

We stayed here a week, and but for a few rowdies at the pool after hours one night it was very nice. The units are clean and have everything you need to be comfortable. The a/c worked great, and furniture was older but comfortable. It's on the quite end of FMB, which is what we were looking for. I don't know where these rowdy people came from, but they woke us up at 2AM jumping into the pool. I did not see them during the day, so I'm guessing they snuck in. The only thing I would suggest is to request a 1st floor room so you have access to the pool area right from your room. Otherwise you have to exit the back of the building, and walk around to the front. There was a lady set up by the pool on Monday selling hand made jewelry and such, and my daughters bought several items from this friendly lady. This place seems a bit 70's-early 80's, but is is well kept and a nice place to stay. Wireless internet worked great- 100X better than a high end hotel we stayed at in Orlando.

“Nice but not for us”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 January 2011

We had a time share week here so it's not as though it cost us megabucks. The accommodation was spacious comfortable and everything worked. But it was dated and of poor construction. It is also in the middle of nowhere and you have to drive to shop or for a drink or a meal. So although it was ok we wouldn't ho again

“Four Years and Counting....!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 November 2010

My husband, our 9 yr old daughter and myself have gone to Tropical Sands Resort for four years now and we have always been so glad we went.

Overall, it is a well kept, clean and friendly complex that is just across the road from a beautiful white sandy beach by day and a stunning sunset by night. The condo unit is very spacious and comfortably furnished and the lanaii overlooks the pool area. We get the sun virtually all day on the lanaii so we spend a lot of time there. Although the decor in the unit is a bit dated, it has everything you need, microwave, coffee maker, DVD/CD player, 3 TV's and a washer/dryer. The pool is large, heated and lit at night and the hottub is right beside it. The pool area is nicely furnished with outdoor furniture. There are two BBQ's on either side of the pool which are relatively new. The staff are friendly and keep things fun by having activities by the pool almost every day like Bingo, root beer floats, hotdogs, margaritas etc which are popular. There are lots of other kids there which is great for our daughter to be able to have a playmate.

Everything is close by, beach, shopping, golfing, watersports, mini-putt and there are a ton of wonderful restaurants in the area as well. Nightlife can be had at the Holiday Inn which is a short walking distance away and right on the beach. The trolley stop is just outside the complex and it runs every 10 minutes up and down the Fort Myers Beach strip.

TSR is a not a five star resort, but it is a very comfortable complex that is good value for the money and just steps away from one of the most beautiful beaches in Florida. We love it there!

“Wonderful vacation spot”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 May 2010

This vacation proved to be the best vacation my family ever had. We arrived at Tropical Sands Resort around 11:00 pm and fetched the key from the after-hours box. Our unit was fresh and clean. We were very pleased with the room sizes and layout. Everything we could possibly need was in our unit. The next morning we had our coffee on the screened in terrace where we planned our fishing trip on a party boat (Getaway Marina). We caught enough fish for two nights' dinner. We loved the swimming pool and greeting Charlie (the resident egret). The office staff were very friendly and helpful as were the folks that were staying at the resort. The beach was a pleasure to walk and to collect seashells. We rode the complimentary bicycles. We dined at several local restaurants including The Fish House (delicious clam chowder). Sunrises were peaceful and soothing. Sunsets were stunning. We loved every minute of our vacation.
