Tropic Shores Resort is hosting a timeshare auction featuring specific Tropic Shores timeshare units and weeks described in the table below. Be advised that the Tropic Shores staff are unable to answer questions about this auction.

Room & Floor Requests

For some owners, it appears there is some confusion about the ability to request a specific room versus demand a specific room when staying at the resort.  As such, the Board would like to bring clarity to this matter.  With the exception of two weeks in February, the resort uses floating weeks rather than fixed weeks.  This gives owners the flexibility to book weeks any time their Prime or Preferred period permits.  When an owner books a week, there is absolutely no suggestion, promise, or guarantee that the owner will be able to pick a specific floor or room.  While our front desk accepts requests and does everything within their power to accommodate such a request, rooms are preassigned long before the Saturday when owners arrive.  As such, owners should not have any expectation that they will get the floor or room they request.  

Checking in early does not change the situation, especially during our peak season when all rooms have been preassigned.  So, feel free to request a specific floor and/or room, and our staff will do whatever it can to accommodate the request, but do not expect that this request will be fulfilled because often it simply can’t.

Additionally, some owners seem to misunderstand what the “waitlist” is for.  The waitlist does not mean you have priority over what room you get.  Calling at 8:00am does not move you ahead of others’ requests.  The waitlist is a simple courtesy to our owners so when their room is ready, the staff gives them a call so they can check in again prior to 4:00pm.  

A simple summary:  You can request a specific floor and/or room, and you can ask to be put on the waitlist.  The staff will do everything it can to accommodate your floor/room request, but there are no guarantees.  If you are on the waitlist and your room happens to become available prior to 4:00pm, then you get the benefit of being able to check into your room early, but rooms will not be released until they are completely cleaned and ready.

Finally, it has come to the attention of the Board that some owners have become so irate and belligerent because their request has not been met, their behavior toward our staff has ranged from rude to verbally abusive.  Our staff works hard to make our owner’s experience the best it can be.  The Board will not tolerate any sort of abuse of our staff.

Auction: July 18

The resort will hold an auction on July 18, 2024 from 11:00 – 1:00.  The was originally scheduled for July 11, but has changed to July 18.

Update 5-28-2024

The pool work has resumed.  Supplies have been ordered and some delivered.  The excess sand has been removed and grading for the pavers is being done.  The primary hold-up was caused because there was a difference between the pool/spa elevations, drainage angles and catch basin design created by our engineering firm and how the pool company was installing it.  This is a critical part of the project and had to be correct.  The BOD and manager have met several times with the engineers and pool company to rectify the issue; thus work has resumed.

Amenities Update

Tropic shores has a number of amenities for our owners and guests to enjoy.  Due to the current employee shortage, our amenities offerings have been limited; however, as we bring new employees on board, we continue to add to the amenities offerings.  Below are just a few of our amenities.  Soon, we will update this area with a full list of all of our amenities.

Ammenities are available Sunday through Friday starting at 9am. There will be NO amenities on Saturday.

Amenities Available Again!

Amenities will begin again on Monday March 25th at 9am. Our Activities Directors will be assisting in retrieving these items. We will have very limited chairs (NO lounge chairs) and boogie boards. You will need to come to the front desk to ask for amenities. The Front Desk will call one of the Activity Directors to meet you outside by the Northside door (just past the hose). After you are finished with your items for the day you will leave the items in the designated area (you will be shown when you pick up your items) and then go back to the Front Desk and let them know. You will be responsible for rinsing off all the sand from the items before you turn them in. Our Activity Director will then be notified to mark your items returned. If you are returning your items after the Activity Directors are gone the Front Desk will mark your items and bring them in from the designated area. You may NOT bring these items back to your room since we are very limited. Also, you will be charged a fee for any items not returned so it is your responsibility to make sure everything is given back.

This is new from how it was done last year and it is new to our staff as well. We ask that you have patience and understanding while we navigate this. We may change procedures as we see what is working and what is not.
