Expensive food and drinks, the were very good and good quantity. Only ate half and ate the other half the next day. So it kind of evened out the price a bit. But compared to out in town it was way too expensive. Very clean and very friendly. Easy and convenient location.

Pleased

I slept like a queen. The staff from cleaning to restaurant servers where excellent. The food was not so great. I order white rice with beans. The rice was hard, the beans like soup and the chicken wings were under cooked. Im not making excuses for them but i got their at the end of the night.

El personal es amigable

Lo más hermoso del lugar son las vistas. El hotel está cerca de todo y tiene una buena piscina. Lo que deben mejorar son las almohadas, huelen mal y el servicio de limpieza es pobre. No recogen la basura si tu estadía es de tres días y dos noches. El desayuno es bueno. Hay restaurante en el lugar, pero no use las facilidades. El servicio al cliente es bueno, todos son muy amables y serviciales. La relación calidad precio no es buena, para el cobro que hacen por noche uno esperaría un poquito más. Regresaría por una oferta o descuento, no por el precio regular.

No recomiendo que gasten su dinero en este hotel. Los empleados son muy rudos incluyendo el gerente general. Tuve una situación con mi hijo en la cual se le violentaron sus derechos como niño. En general en las facilidades no hay mucho que hacer. Donde único me trataron bien fue en el restaurante. Busquen otras opciones en Ponce que seguramente van a tener una mejor experiencia.

Didn’t like that they were late in check ins but the check out was not flexible. We asked for late check out because we received the room more than one your later but they didn’t allow. Moreover you can not enjoy facilites after check out which is something I’ve never seen around the world. Hotels usually allow you to stay last day and consume/spend more, way, enjoy facilites, before you leave.
