I wound up at the bright yellow and orange-colored Tropics Hotel at the last minute, as a previous arrangement had fallen through. At US$27.50/night I thought it was a great deal for what I got! All in all, I had a very nice stay there. Only complaints are the beds are really uncomfortable - as in you can feel the... more

This man is not a man had to have police force him to meet with me. He steals money and will not give back what is not rightfully his. more

We stayed at the Tropic's Hotel from in late March. For $30 a night, it is a basic as it comes. Our first night there, a cockroach crawled out of my pillow and out of our sink. We also awoke to some standing water in our bathroom. Now, I know that some people are just fine with the occassional cockroach,... more

It is disappointing that this guest did not give us the opportunity to please her. I did speak to her and explained that we can upgrade them for “FREE” and that they could see the room. I also explained that if there was still a problem we can work something out. This guest did not even come back to speak...

We enjoyed the daily cleaning service and the constant attention to the care of the property. Everyone is friendly and caring toward all the guests. The hotel has a wonderful view of the water and benefits from the winds blowing in off the ocean. Nearly everything we needed was on-site or very nearby. It would be nice if the neighboring... more

This seemed the perfect hotel for us, a little more expensive than we would normally pay but it was right by the sea and the rooms were clean and reasonably large. It was only when it came to the evening we realised it is right next to the only nightclub on the island. The music was incredibly loud and combined... more

We apologize for the noise next door. Please Email us and assist us with this issue. We have complained to the authorities SO MANY TIMES about this issue. What the nightclub does is illegal, there are laws and they have been getting away with this for TOO MANY YEARS. We will take LEGAL ACTION on this issue if the authorities...

We've visited Belize and Caye Caulker for several years running, and have always enjoyed our stay at The Tropics Hotel. This year, we were most pleasantly surprised to find that a fantastic renovation had taken place last year, resulting in larger rooms, new bathrooms and new furniture. We've stayed in different rooms at the hotel, and some we like better... more

This is a great place to stay on a budget. If you don't need amenities this is it. The rooms are simple and clean. I booked this room based purely on price. Afterward, I read reviews that made me nervous. But, we were very happy with our room. I think any negative reviews were written before the recent remodel. The... more

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Tropics Hotel for 3 days and it was very enjoyable. The location is great because it is right on the main street and directly on the beach. Our room was on the second floor with a great wrap around front porch with amazing views of the ocean. The cleaning ladies were very nice!... more

Serious health and safety issues. Strongly advise against going to this hotel. We're not squeamish travellers. A cockroach here and there doesn't bug us that much. But there are certain health standards that we expect, and one of them is to clean blood from the previous guests out of the bath tub. While my wife was taking a shower, she... more

We, management, were not contacted by these guests, we were at the hotel at least 10 of the 12 hours we are open. We never said we didn't have time to speak to the guests. We are not sure what was the substance was that was in the tub, but it was blood or rust we apologize for that. This...

We got robbed in January in THE TROPICS in Key Caulker while sleeping and got stolen all our electronics, cash and other stuff. During the night, after recepcioniist leaves at 8 pm there's no security at all here and thieves just walk into the property (no doors) and get into your room while you sleep. This has happened a lot... more

Management response from

The Tropics Hotel regrets any instance of theft occuring on our property. ALL or our doors have Dead Bolt locks and none of the LOCKS were not BROKEN or there were not signs of forced entry, the Police can verify this. We have signs posted that guests should lock their doors. While there have been a couple thefts, in all...
