Tropic Isle Hotel & Apartment

Hotel

This hotel and apartment is very amazing. Very clean and the rooms are big (and its very cheap). Rooms have complete amenities specially the kitchen stuff silverwares, plates, coffee maker, big fridge, big microwave and etc. And they provide beach towels. The owner is very nice. He is right there everyday if we need something. I wish we could have stayed longer. But definitely coming back in this hotel and holywood beach is the best in Miami as well. Not crowded. Thank you Will (owner).

Will, the manager, was amazing! He offers a discount if you call and book directly with him. We were going to arrive after office hours (9-5) so I called him and he sent me a code to the room so we could get in when we arrived and allowed me to register the next morning. Quaint small room, but had all I needed. It was very clean, comfortable bed, full size fridge. We didn’t cook but there were some dishes. Small parking lot-enough for all the rooms. You just have to take the chain off the lot as he leaves it up so beach/Broadwalk goers don’t park there. Best part-it’s about 100 yards or less to the Broadwalk and beach. Really good restaurants right there on Broadwalk. Will is around there working during the day and always waves or asks if everything is ok. Will definitely return!
If I had any night negative it would be the light that comes in through door window-shade is not quite enough to keep Sun out if you want to sleep in.

The only good thing about this place was the location — proximity to the beach was great. However, the bed was uncomfortable, the room wasn't very clean, and the bathroom REEKED of sweat. I don't know where the smell came from as it didn't look filthy, but it smelled like someone unwashed had been living there for weeks. The hotel lists that parking is "available", and once you show up you have to pay $20 a day. My husband and I paid for 4 days of parking, only to find their lot COMPLETELY FULL one of the nights. We tried calling the front desk, knocking on the door, of course no one was there. We had to pay $30 for parking nearby that night, and are still waiting for reimbursement from the hotel. Every time we call the number provided, no one picks up and the voicemail inbox is full. When we text, we get no response.
Owners, if you see this — I will change this to a 4 star review if you reimburse us for the parking.

Perfect location and fair price, but so much more. The property is a small, charming collection of rooms. I was so surprised at how clean and fresh the place was. The laid-back attitudes of check-in are a little unusual, but not unwelcome. The bed was a little wobbly and made me nervous, but we adjusted. It was no big deal. The convenience of the kitchen was nice, also. It is fully stocked with every kind of kitchen tool you may need. A few special touches like additional towels, a broom to sweep up after your sandy feet, and plenty of soap and such made it feel like home. This place is dated in a charming way-not outdated at all. I would highly recommend this place. It feels like you're visiting family. Not just another vacation rental.
