Viva Tropic

Just back from a Fantastic two week holiday at Viva Tropic. First class hotel, friendly staff, great amenities and spotlessly clean. Our room was great, air conditioning was fab to have and the rooms were cleaned five times a week. I would have liked to have an oven in the kitchen, but we managed fine. The over 18's Relaxation Area was amazing. Draped double beds around a pool - heavenly! The beach was only a 5 minute walk away. Beautiful white sand that stretched forever. We ate out every night and found the standard of food and service to a very high standard. In particular we would reccomend the BRUNNEL INN (John and Em) which is located just round the corner from the hotel. Lovely people who always made us feel very welcome and at home. The food was excellent. Make sure and book in on a Sunday for their Traditional Sunday Dinner-yummy! Take a walk up to the old town on a Sunday morning and explore around it, plus there is also the market as well. We enjoyed taking a walk down by the harbour at night. The entertainment at the hotel was first class. A different show every night, all put on to a very high standard. We booked the trip to the PIRATES SHOW a fantastic night out for all the family, tickets include all your food, wine and soft drinks. During the winter months part of the hotel rooms are being upgraded. My friend got a tour round one of the show rooms and said it was totally luxurious. A great holiday had by all with fantastic memories. Look forward to going back.

We went to this hotel after reading all the good reviews on this site and other sites and they were right !! Although the rooms were basic they had all we needed except a microwave and bowls but they were clean . The pools and the rest of the hotel more than made up for this, they were excellent. I would recommend this hotel for all ages as it caters for toddlers in the Pirate play pool, older kids in the main pool and a beautiful 18+ chillout pool with draped double bed wicker loungers !! Only 5 mins walk from the beach and restaurants. I would recommend a walk up to the harbour restaurants even though it might be a few euros extra for the meal it is worth it.....

We have been going to the Viva Tropic now for the past 5 years and every year is as great as the last one! It is brillent for the children has a great childrens club which caters for the young and old. They even have things for the adults to do. The hotel is always spotless and the rooms are cleaned 5 times a week. The hotel staff are always polite and friendly. Would recommend to anyone with children. The beach at Alcudia is 2 minutes walk and is out of this world. And around the corner is Brunnel Inn bar which serves great English food (Em and John) who own the bar always make you feel welcome. We have booked this year and are going for 2 weeks in Aug can't wait!!

Went to Viva Tropic with the family.2 girls aged 8 and 6.They loved it. Superb swimming pool,entertainment,kids clubs,it really is first class if you have young children.The Hotel is spotless and offers something for everyone.The entertainment staff are brillant and the shows on the evening were good fun for everyone. The location of Viva is excellent only a few minutes and you are in the centre yet it isnt by a main road of any kind. Fully recommend it.

we have just returned from 10 days at the viva tropic, and we hated it. people everwhere cramed in like sardines around the pool, you needed to be out before 8am sitting on your lounger otherwise forget it! we went at the end of july so maybe its quieter at other times. the outside bar area was like a naff cafe with plastic chairs, the restaurent inside was ok and breakfast was good if you got there early enough to avoid the crowds. The room was small but clean and tidy and the air conditioning was fantastic ,very cold! a good relief from the heat. Alcudia itself is nice around the port 10 mins walk and the old town. The rest is like blackpool. Puetro pollensa is well worth a visit we loved it and went everyday (15 mins by car), its much more laid back with fab restaurents and the best beach ever. the children loved it. Maybe we just like things a bit more refined but the viva tropic is not that. if you like screaming kids with nowhere to escape the noise, and youlike rubbish around the pool then this is for you!

We stayed at Viva Tropic in May with our 3 year old son. A great place to relax - felt at home from the moment we arrived. Close to the best of Alcudia - beach (5 mins.); port (10 mins) and even the old town is only a 20 minute walk - well worth a visit on market days. Round the corner (2 minute walk) is the Brunel Inn - we made it our 'local' for a couple of beers each evening - friendly couple (Em and John) who made us feel most welcome. Food and entertainment at the hotel was more than adequate - plenty to keep the little one amused in the evening! Room was clean and although basic, it had everythin we needed (kettle, fridge, crockery etc.) All staff, from cleaners to reception to waiters were more than helpful. If you want a relaxing, stress-free holiday with a young family then I would thoroughly recommend the Viva Tropic.

We were impressed from the moment we arrived. Nothing was too much trouble, extra pillows etc. The Hotel is one of the cleanest we have stayed in and the staff very friendly. Also just happened to find a bar called brunel inn just around the corner from the hotel, run by a great couple and they served great food, and were great fun, we met some great people in here and they were from Bristol so it felt like home from home. Will look forward to going back hopefully later in the year. The location of the hotel was great as the port end of alcudia only a 5 to 10 minute stroll and old town about 20mins. Had a fantastic time.

Found the aparthotel to be clean and well maintained with helpful , polite staff. However if you want a sunlounger by the pool then you will have to be a very early riser! The surrounding beaches are lovely and there are lots of eateries within a few minutes walk. We had two 16 year olds with us and would say that although the hotel has an entertainments programme, it was a little on the quiet side in the evenings with the entertainment normally finishing at the latest by 11.30pm. However if you have younger children this would be ideal. The town centre is approx 20min walk but just 5 minutes in a taxi costing about 4 euros. We have used alpha rooms before and we would certainly use them again. They offer excellent accomadation, value for money and a hassle free service.

Just come back from Viva Tropic, April 9-16 2006.  Our first such holiday in a hotel.  We were very pleased about every aspect of the holiday.  The rooms were fine, the food was great and the kids loved it at the hotel, plenty of activities and things to do.  Although the water in the pool was cool it didn't stop us going in when the sun was shining.
I can thoroughly recommend it for a family with children.

The Viva Tropic is ideally located in Alcudia. 5-7 minutes walk to a lovely sandy beach even a shorter walk to the shops and restaurants. Alcudia Port is 10 minutes walk away where there are some wonderful seafood restaurants. The ambience in this area is perfect. We found the apartments very ample in size and extremely clean with maid service 5 days out of seven. I would recommend the Viva Tropic apartments to families with children, as there is heaps of entertainment for them.

firstly can i say if you have any doubts at all about booking your own holiday package dont have, because alpharooms have provided an excellent service. i stayed with my wife & daughters at this hotel between 18th april/27th april. the hotel is very clean & tidy with maid service 5 days a week, it is a very modern hotel within 5 mins walk of bars & restaurants (not affected by any noise) & a few mins more to the lovely sandy bay of alcudia. the hotel provides meals and snacks which are very good value, the staff at the hotel are very friendly and helpful. there is entertainment for children of all ages and the adults too. my daughters liked to use the internet at the hotel to keep in touch with their friends. summing up - a very good hotel to relax and enjoy your holiday in. i would go there again.
