Hotel Tropicana & Beach Club

In the middle of La Carihuela beach, the Tropicana even has its own beach club—that is, the legal right to claim a piece of the long strand—if you want surf instead of lounging by the quiet pool surrounded by a grassy lawn. A tropical theme dominates, with lots of large palms and pastel colors. The somewhat forced conviviality doesn’t quite disguise the fact that the Tropicana is yet another salmon-tinted stucco hotel, bristling with private balconies, overlooking the beach. But the prime location puts it close to the many restaurants of La Carihuela.
