Tropical beach
Hi S5URF,
My husband and I and another couple stayed at the Tropical Beach in February. Though we can't speak to your concerns about the kid's program, we did see a lot of people staying there that had small kids, and they all seemed to be enjoying it.
We were a bit concerned about noise as well, as our room was facing the street. Between the hotel and the street is a pool with a jacuzzi which runs down into a waterfall, and we were never bothered by noise at all.
The evening entertainment is held across the street at the Tropical Laguna, and even there, the stage etc. looked like it was well set back from the hotel buildings, so even if you have a room there, I doubt that you would be bothered much by the noise. They also have a larger pool there, and (I think) a kid's pool. It is all set in a nice garden setting.
I never saw any kid's activities actually on the beach, though.
One thing that truly impressed me about the Tropical hotels was the helpfulness of the staff. They were great.
If there is anything else that I can help you with regarding the Tropical Beach club, just ask, and I will try to help.
