THB Tropical Island Aparthotel

I stayed at this hotel on a half-board basis and overall felt it was good value for money. The food was buffet style. Breakfast was very good with plenty of choice, and at dinner there was always enough variety to find something to eat. The only downside was that some of the hot dishes could occasionally be a little lukewarm. The complex itself is quite large, with several smaller pools as well as a bigger main pool. It’s also possible to walk from the hotel down to the beachfront, which is convenient if you want to eat out or explore the area. The rooms include a small kitchen area with a fridge, which was really useful for keeping drinks and snacks. My room had a balcony, although it didn’t get much direct sunlight as it was north facing, so it wasn’t ideal for drying swimwear. There is also a self-service laundry on site with two washers and two dryers, which was simple and convenient to use. The staff were hardworking, always present around the complex, and helpful whenever needed. There is also bicycle hire within the complex offering a great range of bikes. The staff there were very helpful, offering advice on various cycling routes around the area. They were professional, friendly, and seemed to be experienced cyclists themselves, which made it easy to get good local recommendations. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and felt the hotel offered good value for the price

My third time staying over due to the proximity to Playa Blanca and the family friendly nature of the THB Tropical especially for young children. Loads of pools and fun activities for the whole family.First visit was in 2018. However the rooms need refreshing. I appreciate that it’s an all year resort so doing up the rooms will be a nightmare financially. But my rooms looked, smelt and felt like a revamp was urgently needed.

Settee and beds too low. No tea and coffee supplied. No walk in shower. Require step outside bath and high safety grab bar on shower wall. Air conditioning very difficult to control. Everything else in apartment was excellent. Free bus to beach was inadequate as it does not run often enough and should also have a second stop in town centre. Sports bar is uncomfortable with cheap furniture and is far too small. The pool snack bar was excellent providing good food and drinks at very reasonable prices. Unfortunately the picnic benches are very uncomfortable for elderly folk. Restaurants and buffet meals were very good. Reception was very helpful and pleasant to deal with especially Patricia who was delightful and a wonderful hostess.

The food was gorgeous, great varieties and hot & plentiful Comfy beds and clean everywhere
