Overall the grounds are nice but our bathroom reeked of mold or sewage the entire stay. Also the pool could have been managed better. Most of the chairs were not occupied but always retained towels preventing their use. Ask soils be cleared overnight to ensure guests know what is available. I was there 3 days and never had an available chair by the pool.
This was our 4th stay at the Tropicana - the location is great - the pool and beach are great - only issue we had is the room we were given was not the room that we reserved and prepaid for - they moved us to the correct room the following day only after we had to make a fuss

Lovely, older hotel in the middle of ZR. OCEANFRONT! We had a side view. Close to everything. Lots of walking traffic. Would recommend.
When we checked in we were given a room that was on the street side. It was a little too loud for me and my family was not able to sleep very good. We asked the front desk and with no hesitation they moved us to a different room. Very nice staff and helpful.
Good value with clean ocean room views, location walking distance to nightlife and beaches…2 pools but the chairs need replacing …wore out with no support! Also the wait staff at the pool restaurant need to adjust their attitude, their hospitality at times rude and the food quality very mediocre! All in all the location is perfectly close to everything.
hospitality, at times, rude.
Money went missing from room, no visitors allowed unless i pay a fee, asked hotel for no more entry to the room because of theft only to have two different cleaners enter that day.
Although the room furniture is dated, the mattress was comfortable, shower was good and the room was spacious. I had a large balcony that faced the ocean in my Junior suite and it had a beautiful view. The location is excellent, and the pool and bar area are nice.

I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. My room was a good size and I had a lovely balcony and a view. The room was clean and there are many restaurants close to the hotel, including many beach restaurants. It is very walkable. I found the staff top notch and helped me with all of my needs. You will likely be charged a nominal fee for cleaning the room (I hadn't expected this). This is a very inclusive hotel and would be appropriate for all ages.
Spent 4 nights here. Will definitely consider coming back. Some fixtures in the bathroom can be replaced, but I wasn't bothered. Internet was fine. AC was effective. Great service. Friendly staff.
Right on the beach. You can listen to the waves crash on the beach as you sleep. The hotel is close to many great restaurants and a short walk to the Malecon.
The hotel is a basic hotel with a great view of the bay.
We stay at Tropicana every time we visit Puerto Vallarta. The staff is wonderful and it is clean and right on the beach and many amenities in the area. Only issue we have, and it is every single time we have gone, you never get the right room. When you select the room they call the rooms by ither names compared to what you see on booking sites and ehen you show up the put you in the wrong room type, tell you they are booked solid and that they can move you but will take a day or 2. Very frustrating but it isnt just random, everyone we talk to around the hotel has the same issue when they check in as well.
No in-room safe, no coffee maker, poor TV-old and and a pain to remote. Rooms are old and dated, cheap restaurant small helpings, terrible beach chairs. Terrible restaurant coffee and pricey...opens at 8am..most have free coffee in lobby ...at least, no drinking water. The only thing I liked was the view....fantastic. so my opinion of this place is...so so....I would go back maybe...just not for 26 ngts. And special thanks to Esperanza and Ramone.
We didn’t get the room we booked and paid for . When enquiring about it, the check in clerk advised us to come back in the morning and kerbside she could move us to a better room. When we came back, she moved us to a better room, but slipped a paper to me with the words “tip” on it !
The beds are comfortable , our bathroom needed upgrading , shower didn’t drain properly and toilet was fairly old and rusty .
Room was clean and cleaning staff are excellent . Walls /doors are not soundproof at all . The couple in the room next to us had a few loud arguments at 2 am a couple of nights .
