At Tropical Gardens you wont find chocolate on your pillow. There are no monogrammed bath robes or complimentary slippers. We do not offer room service and there are no mini-bars crammed with overpriced drinks. There are no expensive soaps, shampoos or body lotions in the bathrooms. Our sheets dont have a one thousand thread count. We do not force you to buy our wonderful breakfast.
We do, however, offer clean comfortable rooms and personalised service without the stiff formality of regular hotel or upmarket guest house. We only use bio-degradable washing powders and soaps and have owned and managed the property for the past eleven years.
