| - Our flight got in around 10 am on a Tuesday, we got our rental car and came straight to the hotel. Despite check in time of 3pm, our room was ready to go at 10:30 and the woman at the desk was great. Super friendly, warned us that for a king bed (as opposed to 2 double beds) our room would have views of the airport and mountains instead of the strip, but would also have more space. Since we didn't come to stay in the room and just look at the strip, we didn't mind.
What we came for was the pool; and it was great. I'm a fan of Nikki Beach no matter where I go, and I loved that I could stay at the hotel that hosts it and for a ridiculously low rate. Granted, we stayed Tuesday-Friday before prices spiked. Nikki Beach is separate from the hotel pool, and on the first couple days here Nikki beach pool was closed so I went to the hotel pool. Free to get in but the drinks-OMG. Approx. $1/oz for the specialty cocktails, but from 16 oz's up you get a free plastic cup which is perfect for taking back to the room and refilling with your own concoctions, which brings me to another point-get a fridge in your room! They charge $15/day unless you have a medical condition, and then it's free (hint). :)
The room itself was great, some minor things overlooked like the hotel room menu was sticky and gross but whatever. The bed was nice but a little too squishy perhaps, and the ceilings were LOW. I am a tall girl, and when I'd lift my arms in the shower they inevitably hit the ceiling where there's a painted-over opening to a crawl space or something...kinda nasty.
As for the coconut smell, I like coconuts and it was never overwhelming. It did come on strong at the congested valet area/main hotel entrance but faded out. Also, I'm really sensitive to the smell of cigarette smoke and I barely smelled it during our stay, never felt the need to wash it out of my hair either.
Major downfall was the heat during our stay, and the fact that the Tropicana is at the very south end of the Strip meaning long, HOT walks and I wasn't willing to drop $30 for a 3 day tram pass, but I stayed entertained on property for the most part... a $20 cab ride (including the $5 tip) to the Venetian and an hour+ walk back, weaving through casinos for their AC. Overall pleasant stay, great staff, great rates. I hope they don't hike up the prices, we will definitely stay here again.
