Tropic Isle Beach Resort

The only thing good about this place was beach access. To summarize the manager is over bearing and an ass, the rooms are tiny and the mattresses are hard. I don’t know if this is specified but there is no daily maid service. For details read on: Our family was having a reunion and we had 7 rooms rented. I will state there were a lot of kids, and kids are loud during the day. But never were they loud late at nite. The manager Dave was in my face from the moment we got there. First it was because I had a glass of ice tea at the pool. I told him there were no plastic glasses in the room and he got me some. I used plastic glasses from then on. Then he was telling me my kids needed to rinse the sand before fettinv in the pool. I told him my kids hadn’t even been to the beach. Then at dinner time our family-​friendly was using the grill and the court yard to eat dinner. Dave came out all flustered and started lecturing me how we were treating his place as our own (We were paying for half the rooms there) and that we shouldn’t use the trash cans by the pool as the food would start stinking after a day. I just thought maybe you should do your job and change the trash. Later after dinner we went to the beach and got back around nine. Our kids showered the sand from thier bodies and jumped in the pool with there aunt (the pamplet said pool was open until 10) Dave came storming out and got iny face telling me the pool was closed at dusk and the kids should not be in pool area wothout someone at least. I explained that we were under the impression that the pool was open until 10 and there were several kids over 14 as well as an aunt, but then we started getting kids out. At that time he started yelling at me how we were acting illegal and insulting his morals. At this time I got pissed and told him he was being a giant asshole and he started threatening to call the police and have me removed. I told him to fuck off and get out of my face, then my wife stepped in and broke us up as she didnt want to be kicked out. I was good and stepped away. After a moment dave starts coming at me again and I thought we were going to really get busy, but my wife stepped in again. This was just the first 5 hours we were there. Things didn’t get any better for the rest of the weekend. We managed to have a good time dispite this power hungry, petty little tyrant who must have been over compensating for tiny issues. The last night we were there my wife and sister inlaw were talking in the courtyard at around 10. Dave went storming up to them and told them «we can’t have anymore of this» my wife stated to him there are three other groups of people talking and he might be concerned about the wine glasses at pool side. He stated «you are the only issue here and I’ve never had such a difficult weekend.» Now I can’t say we are the quietest family around, but at no time were we out of hand and we kept the kids quite after 10. So if you plan on having a fun vacation with family and plan to actually enjoy yourself this is not the place for you

I really enjoyed my stay at the Tropic Isle. Nowhere in California would you find a place this nice for $ 79/​nt. (more expensive in high season)
Late October is a good time to visit South Florida. It’s not tourist season, but the weather is still great and accommodations are reasonable. In Deerfield Beach, restaurants are open late, and by late I mean midnight, 1am, 2am. Absolutely unheard of in California, and so very cool if your plane lands on the late side.
From the Tropic Isle you can walk one block to the beach and a few blocks to town. The beach is wonderful and beach chairs and towels are included in your stay, as are kitchenettes. Well appointed except be aware no paper towels. Other than that everything you need is here, including a small pool, bbq and coin op washer/​dryer.
During my off-​season stay it was quite quiet here, I imagine it’s a bit more lively at other times. I wouldn’t call this a «resort» exactly (housekeeping is provided only once a week for instance, tho you can swap out towels as needed) but more a very very nice motel… I hope to have the chance to return!
