📝 Tropical Sun Inn strikes a strong balance between comfort, affordability, and hospitality—making it an excellent pick for travelers who value warm service and convenience over luxury frills.
On our last day, after an island-hopping tour left us soaked in seawater and sand, we asked to book one room just so we could all shower before flying home.
Not only did they accommodate that, but they even allowed us to use their outdoor bathrooms for free. Small gestures like that go a long way for tired travelers.
