"If you are an English tea drinker, take your own teabags, because only Green Tea is provided. The rooms were clean and well maintained. There was a small leak in the shower, however this was quickly repaired by friendly staff.The Dining facilities were very good and the swimming pool was great. There was no evidence of garbage or poor maintenance. Overall the cleanliness was excellent.The access to transport and shops and the beach were fantastic.No noise from any source whatsoever...maybe the occasional plane overhead, but that was only very occasional and would have been audible everywhere on the island.The pool facilities are excellent and the resort is a 10 minute walk from the beach and shops, or a 2 minute tricycle ride (150 pesos). Proximity to shops and the beach was excellent. It was located away from the clubs and discos, but that suited me. Although the resort is on the boundary between Station 2 and 3 (clubs and discos are in Station 1), it has the benefit of being somewhat quieter and peaceful. I did not realise that the Resort provides transfers from Caticlan to the resort itself. On the way there I paid for the boat trip and tricycle ride, whereas on the return trip, I only had to pay the terminal fee. When at the terminal at Caticlan, look for the resort staff to arrange transport across to Boracay and from the shore to the resort.
Generally, we had an excellent stay. Even though it was in the wet season, we only experienced one day with rain out of 5. Of cou"

"Tropics has got to be on of the best hotles i have ever stayed in. It is not right on the beech front (which in my opinion is good as it can be quiet loud sometimes).... however it is only about a 5 min walk down to the beech, or however you can get a cyclo from the beech to the hotel for 50 pesos (about 50p english money).The service is excellent and the general atmosphere around the place is paradise!!! I would recommend anyone to stay here as we had such a good time!!! ( Be warned though the beds are sooo comfortable that sometimes you just stay in them all day!!!)"
