This is an “old Florida” motel. The rooms were very clean and the people friendly. There is a food truck for lunch and music on the weekends. Beautiful property. Would definitely stay here again.
We found this lovely, out-of-the-way haven quite by chance during a busy Bike Week in Daytona. The peaceful, relaxed setting definitely won us over, and the friendly staff and guests were so welcoming. We really loved the retro vibe of the room and the property, something that's hard to find nowadays. It really is a perfect spot to unwind after a long day of sightseeing and activities. I'd highly recommend it to those looking for a quiet and cozy spot to relax and enjoy the weather.
The staff was super nice, I wish I was there for relaxation instead of working because the lake was beautiful, they had a bbq area and fire pit. Definitely booking again
Lovely little resort on the lake, close to the town with good parks nearby for walks. Room was clean and quiet, pool was delightful and the area around it was clean.
Our room was clean and the kitchen was well equipped. The mattress on the bed was also very comfortable and linens were nice.
The staff was very nice and helpful. Very nice stay on Christmas Day.

Room was amazing, actually got upgraded and the owners are great people. They now have a good truck and that was all really good food. We did a review it is posted on KAMMO GEAR YouTube check it out! Lori and Rick are the owners and great people!
Tropical Resort is the best Staycation place around, I live local but come and stay several times a year. Everyone there is so professional. What a great place to just kick back and relax

Very clean grounds and room. The staff are just as great. This is our lil hideaway.
Clean room, big fridge. Patio door to the inner yard was lovely. It is BARE bones (no shampoo, no kitchen sponge) so bring your basic provisions with you!

The rooms were very clean. The property was well maintained. This place is a hidden treasure. We cannot wait to go back.
This place is a scam. It's a 1960s motel in the middle of a run down trailer park. The room was dingy and had never seen a renovation. The stove was brought over on the ark. The linens had been washed a million times.
I couldn't sleep in this room - I lost 3 days of fees and cut my vacation short in embarrassment that I been taken in by the listing. By the reviews it's clear that somehow the owner has figured out a way to delete real reviews. Unfortunately this review will likely not be posted for long. Too bad, this place is awful.
