This is the third time we stayed at the Fiesta Tropico Hotel. Every time we have been we have enjoyed ourselves.

Found the rooms to be clean, towels changed three times a week, bed only once!Read other peoples' comments about the mess they had found, but can say that saw maids cleaning corridors regularly.

Hotel staff are English Speaking and very Helpful.
My son attended the children's club and enjoyed it so much!!!

Staff in the club were really amazing, put alot of effort into their work, knew all children by name!!!

Some entertainment was cheesy, but you are on holiday.

So you might be wondering what the down side to this hotel is; in my view the sunbed situation and the teenagers that hang around the pool in the evening. Sunbeds first: On previous visits people would have their towels on at 7:30am, how ever this year was not so bad, could get up at 8:00am and get a bed easily.

Teenagers:Some evenings there was noise from teenagers hanging around the pool, often the security went and asked them to be quiet, which lasted all of 5 minutes.However the noise wasn't too bad and we could sleep.

P.S. There was a huge attack of mossies, but that can not be helped by anyone.

Been to some other places this year and each time my son ask to go back to the Tropico, so thats where we will be going next year.

Four years of holidaying at the Fiest Tropico and I am now planning another for 2009.

We have gone on holiday with a variety of people to this hotel including a six year old, a sixteen year old and a twenty two year old.

Everyone of them found this holiday the best time of their lives.

The hotel itself is very good, the entertainment for kids is fantastic and we quickly befriended the reps such as chris and roly (who have now left). These people not only entertained our kids but then came out for a night with the adults to the clubs and showed us all the best places to drink.

The cleanliness overall was brilliant apart from one attack of the ants in 2005 which was dealt with straight away.


The noise is a slight problem, but when going to Magaluf what can you really expect? It's a cheaper Ibiza.

I was going out at 9:30 everyday and aqquiring a sunbed, in the buisiest time for the hotel, its not hard.


We went self catering, as the first year we went we took the half board option and found food at the sahara was generally very garlicy and many of our party did not eat garlic.

Overall we love the place, and although now moving to the Sahara this year due to the age of the party, I would definately go back if given the chance.

This place is a disgrace,there is no way it should be classed as a family hotel. Stuck in the middle of two 18-30s hotels.

We booked this holiday early and we told the travel agent we would only book if we could have a pool view. On arrival we were given our room block 7 facing the jungla, no pool view!

The first night tables, chairs were flying off the balcony from the Jungla, the second night the same. Pointless trying to sleep until the yobs have passed out.

I complained at the reception and was told the hotel was full and we couldn't change rooms untill after the 1st week, we had booked for 2 weeks so we said OK.

I was ready to go home after 1st night! Anyway we changed rooms and got a pool view in cell block 8, much better and quieter, but there was one bloke and his Mrs telling a security guard they were going to rip his head off at 3 in the morning.

I felt really sorry for the next family put into the room we had changed from, it seems the hotel just use a rotation system for people who complain, I dont think they should be allowed to get away with describing this place suitable for families!

Yes there are ants nests in every room, everyone had bites!also its not safe to walk outside the complex after 12.30 am due to gangs of yobs!

I could go on but you get the gist. We live in nottingham, which is supposed to be the worst town in England for crime but I feel safer here than in the Fiesta Tropico apartments!!!! Never going back !!!!! Its no holiday here, just a nightmare!!!!

If you have young kids take them somewhere else other than here.

This hotel is located between two 18-30 hotels who can share all the facilities, thus making the hotel very noisy. However it is centrally located and easy access to the beach and bars.

The staff are polite and helpful and the entertainment is what you would expect at Butlins.

The pool is excellent but gets very busy, and beware to watch your belongings at all time, we had lilos and towels go missing. As a set up I placed my mobile phone under my towel on the sunbed to find 3 ADULTS attempting to steal it. B E W A R E.

I shall not visit this hotel again........though you have to remember you are in Magalluf and anywhere here is extremely noisy.

9 of us 4 adults and 5 children/teenagers stayed at the Fiesta Tropico last week in July/1st week in August.

Family we were with went there last year so that was helpful. Found the hotel ok, room was cleaned 3 times in the two weeks we were there and fresh towels were supplied also, no air con just two fans that blow the hot air around the rooms so don't expect much of a sleep.

The sunbed situation at the pool is a complete joke, people sitting from 7am with their England towels pushed in between the stacks of sunbeds. They were even putting them on plastic chairs and on top of the umbrella shades, we just bought cheap lilos and lay on them. Actually saw 12 sunbeds lying empty with towels on them for about 4 hours, I am afraid the English are the new Germans. The kids loved the pool.

Can't say much about the entertainment as we never stayed in at night, didn't have any reason to contact the Thomson reps but I did notice they seemed to be in the reception at a desk most days which was good if you needed them.

Found the drinks at the pool a tad expensive compared to most places in Magaluf but the bar staff seemed pleasant enough. There were a few nights when teenagers were heard swimming in the pool at all hours in the morning, only heard the security chase them out once.

Would probably not come back to this place unless they installed air con and allocated each apartment two sunbeds with the room number visible on it.

Reviews over the past few years have always complained about the sunbed situation but the hotel don't seem to do anything about it, they do have a sign in the reception saying you can remove someones towel if there is no one using the bed but i think its up to staff to do that in case it causes fights.

Been four times and booked again this year, fantastic location, great staff, great for children of all ages.

We love the place.

Going self catering this year Thomson over charge for half board, get cheaper with hotel.

Firstly, anyone who has a bad word to say about this hotel is completely rediculous. there is not a thing wrong with it!
I've been 3 times now and love the place. Its central to everything of magaluf, close to all shops bars and restaurants, not far to walk at all! Alot of the reviews have complained about it being in between two 18-30 hotels...firstly, theres a road in between one the sahara and the tropico, so i dont see how anyone can complain about any noise or that its next to it as we didnt hear no noise from the hotel or the road was not busy as we had a room facing onto it 2 of the years we stayed. Secondly, there is a football court and what looks like a car park in between the jungla and the tropico which again i do not understand why people would mention it. you wouldnt even know it was there unless of course you have a room facing onto it. even then, it will not be a problem.

the hotel is no longer a superfamily hotel so there is obviously going to be teenagers hanging about! i really didnt find it noisy at all. once the balcony doors are shut its practically soundproof!

the pool of the hotel is fab. massive. it does get alittle crowded during the day but its not a major problem. Theres plenty of things to do round the pool such as quizes, lilo races in the pool, water polo etc. the reps are great.

Rooms are basic, but liveable. cant find anything bad to say about them. except from the fans on the ceiling arent much help and it does get quite hot at night!Maids come regularly, sometimes bump into them in the corridoors. first year we were there there was one break in.

Magaluf is known for being full of youngsters and groups of party goers. the tropico is way way way out of the way of the main strip so familys with young children neednt worry about too mcuh noise/unacceptable behaviour from the partiers!!
Near to the tropico are bars like benny hills which is really good for familys. good music and a really friendly atmophere!

I would definately reccomend this hotel to everyone!!! its great!

Fiesta Tropico, Magalluf , Majorca. We found this hotel extremely noisy at night and definitely not suitable for families with young children. We had a pool view but this made no difference to the noise and we even had strangers banging on the door at all hours. The location is excellent which is just as well as we had to go out to find suitable entertainment day and night. I would not use this hotel again. This is regrettable as we stayed here approx 5 years ago and it was fabulous.

Whatever you do, do not take half board here. The food is served up across the road at the Sahara and consists
of burgers, processed turkey/chicken etc.

Very poor quality worst we have ever had. The hotel overall is clean, but oh what a terrible place. We were on Block One facing the Sahara which is full of drunken yobs, foul language, nudity and a racket which carries on through the night until the last crowd returns at 7am.

Police at the Tropico on 2 occasions for fights in apartments and in the reception. Thank god we didn't have any children with us. Stuck it for 6 days and bailed out. It is not a safe place to stay, if you go there I can only wish you good luck!! I hope your a night owl.

You won't even get a rest in the day, you cannot get a sunbed and even the beach ones were full.

We stayed for one week at the Tropico and after reading other reviews we were quite concerned about staying at this hotel as we have a six month old baby. On arrival we were allocated a room in block 8 which over looked the pool, I e-mailed the Tropico before we went to request this so I was impressed that they noted out request. The rooms were clean and we could not find fault, we also had maid service twice during the week. I even took ant killer with me just to be on the safe side but there were no ants in our room.

We enjoyed our stay at the hotel and did not find that there was a problem with the noise levels on a night, perhaps this was because of where our room was situated. One morning we had some kids playing knocking on the door but apart from that it was ok.

We did not stay in the hotel on an evening for the entertainment as there is plently to do in the resort so I can not comment on this.

You did have to get up early for a sunbed if you wanted one but not as early as 7.30am, I went to the pool between 8.30 and 9.00 and was able to get sunbeds everyday. The pool was lovely and our baby loved going in the childrens pool, however it was very busy round the pool and there was only one lifegaurd that I noticed so older children would have to be watched.

The food was a bit more expensive in the hotels Red Lion Bar but there are plently of other resturants near the hotel to eat at.

Overall we enjoyed our stay at this hotel, it wasn't 5 star accomodation but we knew that when booked it but it was clean. I would not go back to this hotel again but mainly because I don't intend on going to this part of Majorca again as I have been 3 times now.
