Tropical Paradise Hotel

Stayed in a double room. Payed $7.50 USD extra per day for a small fridge (requested ahead of time) and felt it was worth it. View was good. Enjoyed an ocean breeze but shared deck limited the use in my opinion. Never ate at the restaurant. They did rent out bikes but you get a better deal if you go a little further down the street (keep for 24 hours for slightly less $, instead of returning at 8pm). Kind of bummed pool closed at 9pm. No one really was around to serve you in the pool bar but it was cheaper to go buy some rum and juice at the grocery just 1/2 block a way so never really bothered me. There’s a lively bar just next door if that’s your thing but they shut down by 12 every night so no bother there. Walking distance to everything but a bike is nice if you’re going to the split and a must for the north island. You can walk from the Dewey dock. Our highlight was fishing off the pier at night, security guard was fine with it. Brought our own poles, bought local sardines, caught and released tarpon, bonefish, all sorts of snapper, etc… I would definitely stay again! Location, fishing, pool, price. This is why you stay here. Not luxury but a great vibe if that’s what you’re looking for.
