There are lots of guest houses in Cay Caulker but a lot of them are not on the beach. So if you're looking for an inexpensive beachfront hotel, the Tropics might just fit the bill. This hotel is pretty basic, as are the rooms. They are all equiped with ceiling fans, although some don't always work. The hotel is on... more

We stayed at the Tropics during the construction as well. We were walk ups, and the three of us paid $60.00 Belize because of the construction, and got a discount of ten Belize on the snorkeling tour we booked through their office. They didn't start hammering until after 10:00 am. and we were up by then anyhow. The room we... more

We found this hotel on the island itself. Most of the hotels on the island had no vacancy and we were tired of searching for a place so we decided to stay at the Tropics. The recepcionist "forgot" to mention to us that every morning there is a construction work being done just outside our window (the hotel is tiny... more

I truly wish I would've read the reviews for this place before booking it. Aside from the moldy walls and fixtures, within hours of checking in, the sink fell right out of the wall while I was washing my hands and almost broke my foot (see attached pictures). Sewer water was sprayed all over the room and my belongings. The... more

I booked this hotel online from there web site. It showed a nice clean room with a/c, hot showers, fridge that was clean and nice. I was really surprised when they took me to my room. what a dump this was. The a/c did not work, the fridge did not work, drop cloth on the floor, mildew walls and paint.... more

You do not get what you pay for at all. My boyfriend and I paid $82US a night (75+tax) and it wasn't even worth half that price. Granted I was there in high season, but I would rather pay over the odds for a decent room than pay the money I paid for this. The room is awful (there is... more

My wife and I stayed here and I must say, we got what we paid for. At $55 US we figured it couldn't be that bad, right?.....well, it should've been priced at about $25 due to the plumbing and smelly bathroom and thin walls and uncomfy beds...... You get what you pay for is the lesson here. We won't stay... more

I just got back from Caye Caulker in Belize and had to write up a review about one hotel that I stayed at called "The Hotel Tropix". The people that own the place and work there are very kind and the place is centrally located, which is a plus. However, you get what you pay for. I got bed bugs... more

- NOT GOOD - was quoted one price on the Internet web site, $55.00/night, and my credit card was charged a higher price, $59.99 plus taxes. When questioned on this via the Internet no response was received. Cabana poor, shower ran continuously. Hot water sometimes. Toilet loose on the floor, that seal was broken thus sewage leaked onto the bath... more

The location of this place is fantastic -- it is right downtown, within walking distance to food, shops, and the split. The outside of the hotel was also very nicely maintained. The rooms, however, were filthy. The bathrooms are moldy, the walls spotted, and the beds had only a top and fitted sheet that were threadbare. The worst, though, were... more
