I was travelling in Thailand with a friend for a couple of weeks. Since we were diving at Buddha View Diving, we had (free) accommodation with them. However, when we were shown the free accommodation, we dropped our bag, went for dinner and came to the conclusion that we didn't want to stay there. We walked around a bit in... more

We spent nearly a week in one of Tropicana's concrete bungalows paying eight pound a night. We moved here after spending one night at the South end of the beach which was messy and impossibly dark at night. Tropicana's rooms are big and well kitted out, with nice balconies and big sturdy wooden chairs to read in. The gardens are... more

We knew Tropicana resort from different stays beginning in 1998 and frequently going on to this time where we stay again now. We are sure not to visit this resort again if the situation as "Mighty_Perkster" told would have been true because we like some comfort and minimum standards as well in the rooms as also in the restaurant and... more

I stayed here for 2 weeks of my 2 month stay on koh tao. I found Tropicana after looking around a few different resorts around chalok ban koh, it wa pretty much too the same standard of most the places I'd looked at tho slightly cheeper (500 bht a night for a double rather than 600/800). I was travelling alone... more

I stayed here with my partner and two friends in January after seeing the Tropicana Resort's website. Our Thai friend rung up the day before to book 2 double fan rooms and they said they would meet us from the pier after our Seatran got in from Koh Samui. Anyway we got to the pier, waited at least half an... more

We stayed here for 4 nights, having rung up a couple of days in advance. We had been told that there was only room in the new block (still being built) but we asked for a bungalow if one became free and when we arrived were put in a nice aircon room just one floor up. The staff are variable... more

Stayed here with my son. Location is good, at the quieter end of the island, hire a bike as the taxis are ridiculous! The rooms (I had an older fan room) were disappointing really - peach decor and scruffy, with nice occasional wafts of sewerage from the plumbing. But the overall ambience is nice, from the front gate to the... more

My partner & I stayed here while we were doing our diving course with Buddha View which was just round the corner from it so we didn't pay direct though we were told it cost 400 Baht a night for a room. We were in one of the blocks of rooms rather than a bungalow, it had a large balcony... more

After struggling to find/book a hotel in Chalok Baan Kao, I finally found the Tropicana, and without being able to find any reviews, I decided to book. When we (my partner and I) arrived with big bags, we went to reception and were checked in by a grump young thai woman and then showed to our room.... we walked past... more
