the building is horribly run down, the pool is the size of a backyard pool, the rooms weren't clean, and the staff was rude. The cab drivers did not even know how to find the hotel, it was nowhere near the beach. I had know idea there were hotels like this in acapulco but apparently there are. Do not stay... more

Gee we went to the Tropicana 3 years ago. The room was basic and resonably clean. The gardens and pool were wonderful The food was a disaster. Cake from the Walmart next door just doesn't quite cut it. I don't think my wife will every eat rice again. The buffet then was poor Drinks were include, but not much else.... more

I agree with the last review. My sister and I visited on February 24th and we were reluctant to leave the bus as well. I normally travel to 5* hotels, so this was really showing as a 2*. The room was okay, a little nervous because we were two girls and the room did not have a dead bolt, but... more

Seeing the hotel from the road, I was reluctant to get off the tourbus and check-in. The hotel looked like a disaster from the outside, and seeing the washroom in our suite for the first time - I was ready to check-out. Thankfully, the rest of the suite was decent, and the service at the hotel was good. We requested... more

My husband and I went to Acapulco for the first time this year. We stayed at the El Tropicano. The outside of the place is nothing to look at but the gardens on the inside of the hotel are nice. The rooms were clean...a tip, if you can, get a room on the left side of the building, these rooms... more

When you pull up to El Tropicano, it doesnt look like the other beautiful hotels that you see on your travel. You go inside to the lobby and when you look onto the grounds it reminded my sister and I of Melrose place. It was a cute little hotel located downtown so it was close to bars and the beach.... more
