Fun Tropicale, Dominican Republic hotel review Visited: July 2009
Posted by megan
In 2009 my mum, my auntie, my cousin and I stayed at Fun Tropicale. At the time it was my third time in the country. I have now visited five times. Out of five times, Fun Tropicale has been my favorite.
The food is amazing. I disagree with the BBC television program that reported you can't brush your teeth with the water there. As a matter of fact, when we boarded the bus at the airport, they told us we would be supplied with lots of fresh water daily.
I am aware that it is now closed for renovation. However, I don't think it could get any better. I hope it opens up soon and that British tour operators service the area. I want to return to my favorite hotel!

First off, our room was just awful. It was infested with ants, and we went home with a sort of skin rash from the beds. Our fridge was rarely restocked, the sheets were rarely changed, and the bathroom toilet paper and towels were never replaced. We had to find the linen closets to get our own stuff. That is poor.
The food was amazing, though. The a la carte dinners were like nothing else. It was very high class food. Also, the waiters were excellent and very accommodating.
We found the front desk staff to be horrible at delegating duties. We had to call five times to get anything done.
The daytime bar staff acted very slimy in my opinion. They tried a little too hard to be extra friendly to guests' girlfriends or wives. The evening bar staff was very cool, though.
In addition, the closest beach was not worth going to. It was terrible. Take the trip into Sosua, and use that public beach - it was very nice.
This is not a resort to go to if you want to relax or get refreshed. The music is very loud all the time. You can hear it in your rooms, loud and clear, from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm. I guess maybe we were supposed to be outside in the sun, but being hungover will do that to you.
Finally, for all the junk we had to deal with, we probably lost a good two days off of our stay trying to get service. And we can speak Spanish.

Fun Tropicale, Dominican Republic hotel review Visited: November 2007

I will be staying at the Tropicale in November for the second time this year. I'll be taking my son this time. He needs a break.
I have been coming to this hotel for some 15 years at least once a year - with other destinations in between. I love the place, and now all of the staff know me so well.
It's just so friendly, and they just cannot do enough for you. I have in the past taken friends and family, and they all say what a great place to stay.
Yes there are better hotels around, but you will pay a lot more. I don't see how you can get better service than you get here. The rooms are in need of a lick of paint, but how much time do you spend in it when the sun is shining?
Come to this hotel, and I am sure you will have a good time.

The entertainment staff worked very hard doing the shows at night, then trying to get everyone up and involved during the day.
There were loads of competetions happening during the day with good prizes (like bottles of rum!).
The pizza bar was so nice with a lot to choose from. The food in the main restaurant was also very nice, but the chips were cold if we ate late. Apart from that, the food was excellent - especially the hot dogs from the beach bar.
The rooms were very clean and big. The staff was really friendly. Shout out to Louis, the swim-up bar guy!
