I was ill when I arrived after 30 hours of multiple flights. While I was checking in, Maria Mendes (Rooms Division Manager) met me and offered assistance. She was genuinely concerned and I felt quite comfortable. During my 15-day stay, she periodically checked on me to be sure I was OK. My room was a 3-room suite (1 1/2 bath) with views of the Bay: Large living room with a corner mini-kitchen, a room set up like an office, and a large comfortable bedroom. As I was not well, my colleagues came to my suite instead of me going to their office. So, the suite's office was perfect for 2-3 people with laptops to collaborate. Even though I do not speak Portuguese, I had no problems communicating with the very polite and helpful staff. This hotel has the best gymnasium of any I've seen elsewhere. Next to the gym is a salon and I did get a fine very economic haircut. The morning breakfast buffet has a wide selection of quality food. I ate in that dining room (restaurant) for lunch. The menu as well as wine selection will please anyone. My one "complaint"? I was not accustomed to the huge serving I was given. Delicious. Often, I ate at the cafe/bar adjacent to the swimming pool. It's less formal than the main dining room and you get the benefit of a refreshing light breeze. The Tropico must be the best hotel in Luanda. I felt safe, comfortable, and well looked after. I will stay there again, and I will recommend it to friends.
