Hotel Tropical Park

We stayed here last week with our son, daughter in law and two year old granddaughter. It was really good, we all loved it. We were all inclusive and I cannot comment on the other options. The atmosphere is happy and informal. The accommodation was excellent. Spacious, well furnished, comfortable, enormous comfy beds, great shower, plenty of towels, quiet , sea view. The pools were good but the one by the bar and restaurant was warmer. The small playground was popular. We played Petanque a few times and some of us enjoyed the aqua gym. Diego, the organiser of all the varied activities, never tired, he was great. There was no entertainment in the evening (apart from a sad parrot show one evening) but this was not a problem for us. The bar closed at 8.45 which again was ok for us. The restaurant and bar were very good. The food was plentiful and varied and of high quality. All the staff were kind and cheerful and worked hard. The wine was served generously and was, to my taste, really good. The hotel is conveniently situated in a quiet area with a few shops and restaurants close by. Nice walks, mostly with good paths. The beach was close by with good access to the sea. However, the black sand beach was dirty with uncleared cigarette ends. I am pleased to recommend this hotel if you want a quiet, relaxed, informal holiday staying in delightful accommodation . If you want to dress up for late nights for formal dinners followed by entertainment do not come here! I shall return as soon as possible.

Have to say after reading mixed reviews I wasn’t sure what to expect; but … the Tropical Park did not disappoint! We had the most amazing stay. Everything was perfect; the decor in the room was beautiful. Kitchen is so well equipped you can cook a Sunday Roast in it; but no dishwasher so as long as you don’t mind the dishes lol. Thankfully we were All Inclusive and didn’t have to cook at all as the Buffett meals always had something even for the fussiest of eaters (like my husband). People who complained about having drinks in a plastic cup, but realistically the amount of drinks we had through each day and night; it makes sense not to give glassware. Food was always hot and if it is running low they take it away to replenish. We never went down too late for our meals so I don’t know if it does get a bit cooler after a while? Rooms are beautifully thought out and have everything you need. If you do find you need something that isn’t there the staff on reception are always so pleasant and helpful. I did see a review someone complaining about the lifeguard telling their children they weren’t allowed their toys in the pool. The whole time we were there we seen plenty of kids with all kinds of toys in both the bottom pools and the top one; so I would assume the toys weren’t the issue there if other guests were maybe getting soaked or bumped or something (just a guess). Both lifeguards were lovely and always tidying round the pool area and fixing seats etc. There is also a walkway around the whole pool area to walk on when you have wet feet; so if you slip, I’m assuming you are walking on the tiles and not the path provided. Never a lack of free beds around the pool and the bar is always open. Night time it’s nice and quiet and chilled; but just up the road from a long row of bars, restaurants and lovely little shops. 2 supermarkets (1 attached to the hotel, though we prefer the híper dino; it’s cheaper and has a much better selection. Buses will take you into the busier resorts; but for a quiet, relaxing holiday; this is the place. You don’t need to go anywhere else unless you’re wanting to party big time. We had the perfect holiday and we are booking to come back next year as soon as we get home and get paid! Also a lovely balcony with a beautiful view of the mountains, the sea (to the side) and the pools. Can’t fault anything at all. Perfect; thank you.

This was our first visit with our two girls age 8 & 10. Everything was better than we expected and we enjoyed a fantastic week away over half term. The swimming pools are lovely. The activities were fun and accessible Breakfasts were decent Our appartment was spacious, clean and we were always given extras we requested The area is safe and chilled, nice restaurants on doorstep

Disgusting food. Over cooked, cold and tasteless. Unless you eat when the cafe opens, the food available is dried up and if the bare minimum. Arrived just before 8.00pm, no soup left. Most of the food containers empty and virtually cold. My dogs eat better than this. The meats provided are cheap cuts, chicken wings, ribs and fish with bones in. The breakfast is slightly better but not much. No children’s menu either!! Told off by waiter as I helped myself to a coffee at night. He said I could only have this at breakfast. Noticed other people with the same band as us having coffee but nothing was said to them. My daughter was told off for giving her children a small ball in the pool, yet the day before, everybody was playing ball in the pool. There are 2 pools after all. Why not make one adult only if it is a problem playing with a small ball? On the plus side, the pools and rooms are clean. The air conditioning is not very good, it is only in the bedroom. Therefore, the bedroom is freezing and the living room remains hot. All in all, not a great place. Will definitely not be returning.

Was unsure of this resort before we arrived as we’d never stayed in Callao before but it was fantastic. We had a 3 bed unit, top floor with a great view from a large balcony. Pool area was clean and always had spare beds. Activities team was brilliant keeping adults and children entertained with darts, polo, bingo, pétanque, schulen etc The local town has great restaurants and a couple of bars and pubs but is generally quiet after 11pm which was perfect for a relaxing week. The only negative is you have to walk up lots of stairs to the apartments as there are no lifts.

We have just returned from a wonderful eleven-night stay. This was our first visit and will definitely return. The hotel was spotlessly clean, and the food was delicious with enough selection to meet both our vegetarian and meat-eating needs. All the staff were friendly and efficient. The rooms were very clean, and spacious with a lounge and well-equipped kitchen area. It was just a short walk to the sea, beach, numerous café bars and restaurants. Thank you for a lovely stay.
