The beachside Hotel Tropico Playa is in a peaceful location without being isolated and within easy reach of all the action. A ten minute walk from the hotel will find you in lively Magaluf and there's a good selection of bars and restaurants on the doorstep, too – ideal if you like your entertainment a little more low key. Better still, you've got a wide sandy beach just over the road. Golf Fantasia, a massive crazy golf course, is just a three minute stroll away along the seafront. And Marineland, a popular zoo come aquarium where children have the chance to swim with dolphins, is just a five minute drive along the coast.
The Tropico Playa has a simple but comfortable feel to it, the bedrooms are kitted out with private balconies, air conditioning and floor to ceiling sliding doors designed to let in plenty of light. When it comes to food, big buffets are the order of the day. We're talking Continental spreads or cooked breakfasts in the mornings and Mediterranean style fare for lunches and evening meals. Think pasta dishes, barbecue grills, colourful salads and fresh seafood. In terms of other sunbathing spots, there's an outdoor pool set into a terrace hemmed with palm trees. The whole area is surrounded by pretty gardens, and there's an open-air café on the side. Plus, you'll find a separate paddling pool for children.
