Would not stay here again and could not recommend it. We almost did not complete our non refundable 2 night stay. However, after we complained about the poor conditions in our room, we were assigned a new, remodeled room that sufficed for our stay. However in this room there was a strong sewer gas smell in the bathroom and the internet did not work most of the time. Earlier in the week we stayed at the Aquarius in Boqueron and it was fine. Thought this property would be similar but it is in need of a major refresh. The property does share a pool area and beach with Embassy Suites and that seemed nice. Had I known, I would simply have paid a little bit more to book the Embassy Hotel.

It was okay for the price. Parking lot was small. They have vending machines but no available coffee shop inside the hotel. Had to walk to Embassy hotel to get a good cup of coffee. The frame for the bathroom door was corroded. I think they turned off the A/C during early morning hours 4:00am to 6:00am.

I should've chosen the Embassy...

First, no breakfast(that was my fault, didn't read the small print) they tell you to go the Embassy next door and pay $21 per person for breakfast! Only hotel without quiet time enforcement, people running around, slamming doors and shouting at 2am. 2 lights in my room didn't work. 3 of us went from Sunday to Thursday with one roll of TP, even after asking for a new one. When you check in they validate your parking ticket from the gate and then tell you, you still have to pay $14 per day to park?!? Only plus is the pool, which it shares with the Embassy hotel that's right next to it. They have a pool side bar but unfortunately it closes at 4pm. Bathrooms are rusty. Great place to just sleep, nothing to do there.
