The host lady was amazing. Super friendly and easy going. Her hospitality was very warm and made us feel welcomed. She’s the start of the hotel as she does everything by herself. Property has no parking. She kindly offered us to park in front of the property which has one of those u shape driveway. She says no one has car so we can park there. But then during the weekend 4 more car parked in front and behind us and we were looking for the owners to get out. Same problem when we came back to the hotel. The location is very convenient and it’s very easy to get around. Close the restaurants, downtown shopping area and easy access 10 min drive away from the famous hotels district where all the night life and nice restaurants are. If you are planning to rent a car and you’re in a budget, I would definitely recommend this hotel as we enjoyed our stay. If not planning to rent a car, I do not recommend it as it’s hard to get around the island although, they have an impressive transit system. Way better than any bus I’ve seen in Canada and US. If you want local food experience go to Don Jacinto and Peanuts restaurant. Very close to hotel. You got to try this Dutch coffee brand called Smit&Dorlas which is the best coffee I’ve ever tasted. I’m bringing 6 bags home lol.

This hotel was not the same as the pictures online when I arrived it was different no where near the pictures which was what I was expecting to see, I booked a room for june 12 to june 16 2024. I left the hotel june 14 because the electricity went out in the whole building causing there to be no air conditioning and no one was inside working (no recepción) I want a refund for the last two nights in which I didn't stay.

I contacted the property for check-in instructions and received an automated reply. Arrived at the property and there was a phone number written on a piece of paper taped to the wall. Called and had to stand in the sun waiting for someone to arrive. The person who came did not speak English. She called her daughter to translate and her daughter was also not able to translate. When they opened the gate for us to enter, the property looked abandoned. No other guests visible. The restaurant was visibly unclean, even had wood lice running along the walls. The overall experience turned me off and I decided not to stay. Ending up booking another hotel on the spot. Do NOT recommend! And they won’t offer any refund. Unbelievable.

The photographs on the site are not only misleading they are fake. The furniture and fixtures shown do not exist. Something went terribly wrong with this property and it should not be promoted on sites like Expedia without someone verifying the accuracy of the information. During our 10 day stay (we tried to relocate but couldn’t due to Carnival season) some people left after one night or refused to stay, there were sex workers operating out of room 4. No restaurant or any food service at all , no bar, infrequent room services due to only one employee on the property. The roof of the gazebo by the pool was collapsing. The interiors of the rooms were bare concrete floors and walls and dilapidated furniture. There was hot water only in the shower, the kitchenette and bathroom sinks had only cold water. This degree of deception should be criminal and I write this not only as a review but a condemnation of an industry that would expose unwary customers to an unacceptable experience.

The place is nice and clean. Our room was on the second floor was very aesthetically pleasing. Lots of power outlets in the room, which is great. The housekeeping lady is wonderful at maintaining the property. We got fresh towels everyday. The water pressure in the shower is great, and the pool on the property was nice and clean as well, which we appreciate. The area could’ve been a little quieter, the internet at the hotel itself was really spotty and weak, and the place was listed as “breakfast available” with a fee, but that wasn’t the case when we arrived. The listing on Expedia even had photos of breakfast. But overall it was a great experience, place in a very convenient location close to city, restaurants and beaches

It was an easy walk to the main part of town. Room was spacious and looks like the picture. Pool was fantastic. Restaurant on property was excellent. No reception so it was difficult to ask a quick question. Staff who came every other day were great and helped with anything we needed. Sofa in room was tired. Bed was good. They didn't turn the hot water on when we arrived so no hot water for a day, but not bad. Fairly quiet. Slept well

This place is an abandoned building disguised as a hotel!! BEWARE AND STEER CLEAR! I believe it’s being rented to locals as short-term rentals, I was the only guest that I could see. No available staff, no check-in or front office. The woman who picked me up from the airport handed me my room key, and also charged me $30 to pick me up two hours after I had landed. No credentials, unmarked car, and very BIZARRE! Upon arriving at this “hotel” the room had holes in the walls AND ceiling. I ended up covering the holes in the bathroom and shower to give myself some peace of mind that no one was watching me. There was no hotel room phone and no room services (food, bellhop, etc), no housekeeping staff available to replenish towels, no office to report to, my room was only cleaned once during my week long stay. I had no one to call when there was a lizard in my room that I could not get out. The windows also do not open. I was concerned for my safety while I stayed there. I tried to contact hotels.com to get a refund and check into a different hotel during my stay but I could not find any number of contact information.

Was not able to check in. Upon arrival nobody was present. I walked around and shouted for assistance for a good 20-30min. Called number provided and no response either. Crazy part was we had messaged earlier to confirm my flight and time of arrival details. After getting fed up and traveling with my children, we had to leave and pay $200 elsewhere. I tried to cancel another booking I had with them and theey refused to issue a refund for both stays. They claim they were present and available when I have proof showing otherwise. Hotel on the outside seems sketchy as heck, pool area not too bad, beyond that I cant say. Very disappointed because the pictures make it seem like a nice place but upon doing more research, we were not the first people that this has happened to.

Monastery Suites is physically a gorgeous property with unique architecture and interior design and beautiful artwork throughout. Perhaps due to Covid and labor shortages, the communication and service were subpar. There is no front desk or staff on-site and no available food as advertised. We had some contact with the hotel (management?) via the Expedia app, but there was a language barrier and delays in having our requests fulfilled. All-in-all I would stay again just with the knowledge of the property's defeciencies and a plan for food and transportation.

First off, they offer grocery package and will bring it without telling you how much it is first so you’re stuck paying for what they bought. Second, there’s no wash cloths. Third and most importantly there was hair in my shower.. black mold in the shower and in both sinks. I live in the US so I’m familiar, she tells me it’s the color of the concrete but when she “cleaned” it with bleach some of it came off so I was still exposed to mold. I contacted the team and all they said was “your stay is ending soon”. It’s cheap but it’s just not worth it. The pool also wasn’t cleaned.
