9/9 found this review helpful

I have going here for six years first few times we went only
one and two weeks. We liked the place and staff alot ,so last we stayed for 8 weeks this coming Jan. 2007 we will go for 10 weeks. We have many friends over the years that go there for years; some 25 to 30 years.
the place no Hilton , but you get what you pay for. The rooms are simple but clean clean almost very day, clean bed spreads every two weeks,
The food is what it is some days better than others but you can always find something. besides thereis Super Wal-mart next that sells all kind of food, you have Hooters across the street, any Canadian and American fast food outlets.
htere two swiming pools the one near the lobby has a fountain
is the smallest; the second at the back larger not huge but big enough. We have found the staff to friendly and honest never has anything gone missing.
I recommend this place to anyone there alot tosee if you hop the local bus go and do thinks

“like a cheap motel”

5/16 found this review helpful

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 here if you want to stay at a hotel that is even approaching sanitary. Liberty travel led us to believe this would be an acceptable place to stay. it is definitely not

“disasterous food”

5/11 found this review helpful

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. Also sky service flight was not that great either kinda tight, alot of delay. We went with family, I found Acapulco to be more Adult oreinted for partiers
