We took a one week vacation with our two young children to Tropic Seas Resort at the end of October and all I can say is that we had a great family vacation. Tropic Seas Resort is perfect for families as it is small enough to keep a close eye on your children yet at the same time offers all... more

You simply can't beat the Tropic Seas' real estate. Right on the beach, the hotel offers spectacular views and beach access. Salt water not your thing? The swimming pool offers a great alternative and is just feet from the beach. The hotel is within walking distance of downtown, and offers great amenities for families between the beach, pool, in-room kitchens... more

Stayed at the Tropic Seas for four nights at the end of June. Had an efficiency with a double and a twin bed and full kitchen. Really, REALLY enjoyed our stay. Mostly families there but the laid back vibe worked for us (two gal friends in our late 40s). There is plenty of green space in the courtyard so it... more

I recently stayed with my family at Tropic Seas Resort, and I can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed the experience. The grounds are immaculately maintained, and the ocean view is one of the best in Broward County. Our room had a separate bedroom with a king, with 2 twins in the living room, and a full kitchen. The... more

The location is perfect two blocks one way and you are in walking distance of a grocery store six blocks the other way and you are downtown with bars, restaurants ice cream parlor and little shops something for everyone . The hotel is right on the ocean giving you a choice of either swimming in the ocean or using their... more

A friend of mine recommended Lauderdale by the Sea because there are no high rise condos, which is true. It is a small stretch of beach with no high rise condos. Our stay was generally pleasant, aside from some wind on our first day. It was our first time in this part of Florida and we were looking for a... more

Our family had another great stay at Tropic Seas Resort. It looks like the hotel was recently renovated, it looks great! The management seems really committed to running a hotel, not just turning the place into condominiums like most of the hotels on the beach. We really enjoyed the hospitality and will definitely return again. more

The Tropic Seas is one of those hidden treasures that I hope never sells out to the high rise condos going up around it. This place is CLEAN. We had an air conditioner issue (lack of) our first night, and talked to the manager that next morning. She did not bat an eye, just gave us the key to the... more

We stayed at the Tropic Seas Resort for four nights before flying to Cancun from Miami (although had to cancel Cancun due to hurricane Dean but that is another story). We chose this motel over others because of the pictures on their web site, the offer of continental breakfast and daily newspaper included in the cost among other things. When... more
