Bordering the beach, Koh Tao Tropicana offers lovely rooms spread around well-manicured garden grounds. Travellers can soak up the serene atmosphere away from the heat of the sunny beach on the various chairs and hammocks dotted throughout the cool, shady garden, or have a massage (200-250B) in the garden sala. An on-site travel agency, book exchange and internet cafe are also available, and Tropicana's laid-back restaurant features a large menu with decent prices as well as a guitar for guest use. Most rooms are either duplex-style bungalows or located in a building, with a few private huts, but they are bright and clean with comfortable beds and private patios. Tropicana Resort is a beautiful spot with plenty of great service and comfort at a reasonable price.

Really nice place! - 11th July, 2006
We had a fan room for 400 baht, but flaked out in the heat and got air con for 1000 baht, which involved just being given the remote control for the unit! 600 baht extra just for air con is a bit of a rip, but they all do it out here. Other than that this was a nice place to stay, the room was clean, although the shower was cold water. The staff were very helpful and the resort is right on the beach. Beware the sea is very shallow and not great for swimming. Seriously the best place in Chalok to stay, we looked at other places but they were dumps or too pricey. A nice late night bar is the On the Rock Bar, a 5 minute walk up the road from Tropicana, just come out the main entrance and turn right and you'll see it up a steep drive to your left, opposite Big Fish Restaurant.
