Tropical Sands Resort

Tropical Sands Resort

Tropical Sands Resort is very comfortable and feels like a home away from home. Our two bedroom room came fully equipped with a kitchen (stove, microwave, dishes, dishwasher, etc.), cable TV, a washer and dryer, two full bathrooms, and a small screen balcony that overlooks the pool. The pool is rather small but descent. The resort also offers grills that are available for your use and bikes in the "bike barn" that you are welcome to use. The resort did offer a few weekly activities like an ice-cream float party, a hot dog cookout, and a Jimmy Buffet Day. Another major plus was that they do not push buying any timeshares from them.

On the other hand, there were a number of aspects of the resort that I was disappointed with. First of all, you had beach access nearby, but you had to walk a ways to get to a swimming beach. Secondly, there were no cleaning services the entire week. We did wash our own towels in the washing machine and used the vacuum in our room to take care of sand we dragged in, but it would have been nice if they did some of those things for us. Finally, the front desk is only open from 9am to 5pm and not at all on Sundays, so if you need something and it’s not between those times, you’re out of luck. In fact, the one time I did go to the front desk to ask directions, I had to wait 15 minutes for the lady at the front desk to stop gossiping to her friend on the phone. Overall professionalism is lacking.

Overall, I would recommend Tropical Sands, especially for a family. But have an understanding of what is offered (or isn’t offered) at this resort. If you’re looking to wake up with a view of the Gulf or have your beds made for you, then this isn’t your place.

While I may be partial as this is my "home" resort, the accommodations are top notch. All are standard two bedroom units with full kitchen and two baths. Although not directly on the beach, it is across the street from a beautiful "walking" beach and a real haven for bird enthusiasts like myself.

Not a "swimming" beach, although one mile in either direction will put you in a lovely beach with beautiful water to swim in. The resort has a well kept pool and hot tub, as well as exercise room.
