Tropicana Pool & Café

I recently spent the day at the Roosevelt Pool and the service was absolutely amazing. I started at the bar with a bartender named Craig, who was outstanding. He was so professional and made the best cocktails ever. He made my time there so enjoyable. My server was Shonda, and she was beautiful, kind, and incredibly attentive. She had the best attitude and I couldn’t have asked for a better waitress. A runner named Gabriel was fast and made sure I had anything else I needed, and I was truly grateful.

It was a really nice day to finish off summer with my best friend. The burger was so good, cooked perfectly, and I truly enjoyed it. My only disappointment was that fries weren’t included, and the burger was $30. Fries should definitely come with it for that price, but overall it was a great meal and an amazing experience.

This poolside restaurant is so great. We ate there a few times and also had breakfast by the pool. I had the açai bowl with potatoes on the side, which was such a good combo. We also got the margarita pizza, chips and guac, and of course a margarita. Everything was really delicious. The service was incredibly slow, but we didn’t mind since we were relaxing in the sun.

Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to let Abigail, the manager, know how exceptional Magen and Michael was from the start of their shift till I took off at 1pm. She got busy and I get it. I enjoyed my overnight stay here and woke up to a great service and vibes! I just wanted to make it know that they did a great job!

My friend invited me here spontaneously and I loved it! The atmosphere is a must place to be this spring and summer! We ordered delicious food, drinks and sat outside by the pool!

Catch me if you can..

I am being generous to give one star. I wanted to take my teenage grandchildren out for a nice lunch while they were in town. I called before going to see if we needed reservations and if my well behaved dog was allowed. The young man that answered my call was very polite and accommodating, and assured me we didn’t need reservations, my dog was welcome, and was gracious enough to give me detailed directions to the Tropicana. When we arrived, we found our way through the hotel lobby, to the outside poolside cafe, after stopping to speak to a less than welcoming bartender. She told us we could SIT ANYWHERE. There were only 2 occupied tables, and we found our way to a table, no problem.
We waited at least 20 mins to be acknowledged, the waitress, not unpleasant, but definitely not hospitable, took our order.
After another 20 mins, we still did not have drinks. The table that seated immediately before us had finished their food.
We left. On our way out, we saw the waitress and told her we were leaving and why.
She offered the excuse of being THE ONLY ONE SCHEDULED TODAY.
maybe true, but she had 3 tables.
Completely unacceptable.

The worst bar food ever!! The $27 tacos shouldn’t even cost that. There was no flavor, and the octopus made me sick because it wasn't cooked right. I threw away the wings, which were undercooked and without flavor.

Pool scene is lively, which was fine for us, maybe not for everyone. Service was friendly and professional. Food was nicely presented, fresh and flavorful. A great place to catch up with old friends... an oasis on Hollywood Blvd.

This place USE TO BE the best place in Hollywood to go too for a pool day. It is vintage with lots of history of old Hollywood.l
Ever since 2023 it is Owned by new management and it is going extremely downhill you are no longer allowed to smoke by the pool. You can’t have dogs by the pool anymore. but you ARE allowed to have your top off in front of children? It’s still an topless optional pool. But god forbid I light up a cigarette…
The food is outrageously priced $20 for one drink.
I’ve been coming here for over a decade and was extremely disappointed this time.

Lovely place to chill ! A bit hidden but it’s very nice inside !

The food is amazingly good. Enormous portions. The sweetest staff. Fun location. Very hot today but fine for breakfast before church. They validate parking. Even had a high chair. Going back for sure.

Sam and Sami make an excellent team. Our hostess was kind and helped us to our beach chairs. Our wait was friendly and timely. We had an excellent experience!
