We just finished staying at this RV park for our third AND LAST time. We booked reservations there about 4 weeks prior to our arrival at a set rate, and provided a credit card number as a guarantee. When we arrived - our weekly rate had gone up about 45% over what was on their website and what I was... More

Never a bad time here!!! Ken has always been fair with myself & everyone I have referred to Tropic Island RV!!! RV spots here have more room between them than any other park on the island. Also a big plus is San Juan Restaurant is directly across the street...perfect for early morning breakfast tacos!!!

What used to be a fairly good place, is now owned by a real jerk. Reserved 2 sites for 5 nights for my family and elderly parents. The owner put us in 1 site with 2 sets of utilities, obviously wouldn't fit our pop-ups in, even though I told them mine was larger than usual. He then had my folks... More

We try to please our guests and to accomadate them to the best of our ability. We tried to make this customer happy but were unable to. We gave this customer 2 sites for the price of one because their pop up camper was longer than usual. We were also in the process of refunding this customer's credit card but... More

I'm sorry that your experience here wasn't a good one. We try hard to please all of our customers. We as well as well as most places here in South Texas have had a shortage of rain therefore grass is in short supply as well. We are working hard at re-sodding the area and hoping for rain! As far as... More

After having a nightmare of an experience at another motel in the area, we checked this place out cautiously. I asked to check the room prior to paying for it and the lady at the front desk was very nice and understood. I checked out the room and was quite surprised to see that the room was nice and clean.... More

Erlinda and Ken are like family to us. They are always so friendly, and know you by name. It's always nice to be greeted by a friendly hello, as... More

I recently stayed at Tropic Island for the weekend. Came in on a Friday 8/3 and left on Sunday8/5. On our way down from Dallas we had a flat tire and other car trouble so it was not a pleasant trip.

Very clean and plenty of room in the RV park for getting trailers in and out and lots of room for kids to ride bikes, scooters. Clean bathhouse as well. Close to town and beach. I have stayed in their rooms too and they are very clean and very reasonable. Not a fancy condo but a great place to stay... More
