Our 8th stay here was extremely pleasant. Javier at the front desk was very helpful; got us into the room we requested and made sure we were able to get a parking pass. This is the best place to stay on the island and we’ll be staying there until again soon.

Just okay
Overall, our experience was okay but I would not stay here again. The location is great, however we did have a hard time with parking. When checking in, we asked where we were able to leave the car and they told us that the structure they use is fully booked and that we would have to resort to street parking and be wary of time-restricted zones. Thankfully, we were able to find a spot nearby but I could imagine that this would be an inconvenience to others. The room was nice and clean, but the towel that I used to shower that night had a lot of hairs stuck on it from someone who had previously used it that got stuck to my body. That’s just gross. Finally, the morning of checkout came and we decided to pack our stuff and move it to the car and go out for breakfast but then later return to freshen up. When we returned before checkout time, housekeeping had already started cleaning up our room even though we had not even checked out yet. How does this happen? When we went to the front desk to inform them, all we got was a “oh that’s so weird, I’m sorry!” Okay?? I’m sure others experiences were better than ours but I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone I know.

Property was clean and central located: restaurants, coffee, beach. Even has a restaurant on site! Room was clean, but little noise in morning! All in all great accommodation and location for the price!
