kitchen

We enjoyed our stay here for 3 nights. The place is central and right down the street from the market. The staff were very welcoming, the room was clean, had a comfortable bed, and hot water. There was also a pretty well equipped kitchen so you could cut down costs by cooking. Didn't have any trouble with noise, and there was a security guard there every night. The room we had had a ceiling fan, but there were some floor fans around.

Affordable and welcoming

Cheap place to stay but it's extremely noisy. You won't be able to get much sleep, if any. DO NOT book tours with the owner Kenet. It's a guaranteed rip-off and the service is terrible. We had to cancel our tour with him as he wouldn't let us put our bags inside the car while it was pissing rain and many other things.

Cheap and noisey

Great little rooms and your own shower and toilet. Stayed 5 nights and had cold shower everyday(all good as it was hot). Just the sleeping adventure was not good. Very loud locals staying there. They are very noisey of a night and you can hear people snoring as well. So not much sleep at all. Staff lovely and security on ever night. Felt safe. 

Very loud and not much sleep

Place is super clean. Rooms are small and very basic but mattress is comfortable and rooms have their own bathroom. Booked a bunk bed, actually stayed in the room on my own. Staff is very friendly and the place safe. Would not consider it a backpacker place, but rather a place for locals (business) travelers. At least that was at the time I was there. Do not expect to get your "holiday beauty sleep". People from the hotel and around get up very early and expect everyone else to be awake as well. Made it to 8.30am until the room service knocked on the door :). Wifi is unfortunately poor and a proper common area to sit outside is missing. The existing one is rather broken and not roofed.

Good Value for Money

Stayed there for 4 nights.   Relatively clean and close to the town .  However most of the rooms are so so close together you can hear other customers laughing and playing loud music during the day and sometimes at night.  
I was put in a room upstairs,   the stairs are so steep you can easily fall and have a nasty accident. 
The room I was in was next to the neighboring yard,  for the entire 4 nights I didnt sleep much as you can hear the child there coughing so much uncontrollably.   During the day the man next door would scream at his family,   so not ideal. 
I recommend that you pay a bit more and stay somewhere more comfortable. I would rather not stay there ever.

Would rather have stayed else where

I found this place in the Lonely Planet after getting a taxi from the airport to town to get cash from an ATM. It was very humid which I love, walked around a bit and I found this gem, hidden in a side street. 

Clean and safe and good value for money. 
Stayed four nights to get my dives in, a trip to Mt Hope ( so much fun ) and just some time to relax to myself. 

The overnight guy, Sonny I believe was a nice man. He even walked me to and from  the supermarket one night to get bottled water. Very protective. 

Great stay, clean, safe and good location 

Ok - its been a while since I stayed in backpacking places and places have improved in terms of services and facilities. Stayed here for four nights on work and it was not bad if it is simple comforts which you need such as a good clean bed and room, clean bathrooms (with warm {not hot} water), stable internet. It checks all the boxes. The place is clean, staff is friendly, no TV in the room. There is internet but not in the room but its free. Mind you, a number of hotels in Vanuatu i have stayed in does not give free internet in the rooms. It has a nice garden area where you could sit around with mosquito cream on. Quite place to be in. It does need some touches to improve but the present is also doable. There is a kitchen you can use which is well supplied (not with raw materials) but with cutlerly and stove and fridge. other guests are also friendly and its overall a nice place.

Just enough

I don't know why, but we weren't comfortable staying in this place. The room was ok, maybe a bit expensive for what it offers, there is a kitchen but people spit everywhere, so... we weren't so keen to use it! Anyway, the place was quiet during the night, and the Hibiscus Motel was full. I would advise you to prefer the last one and go to the Tropicana only if there is no other affordable choice.

Not bad, but we were not comfortable

So I returned to Tropicana Motel after three years... management has changed. Rooms were clean and airy as always. Kitchen was well maintained. Had no issues except one day when I got a clean towel that smelt like it had been soaked in mop water.
