all the photos online of this property are deceiving!! i was scared to shower every day because i was nervous the plumbing would explode while i was in there. the tile corners and shower fixtures are so incredibly dingy and gross. the amount of money this property charges people i’m sure they can put some money into renovations because jeez!! i couldn’t even get into my balcony the first night there because it was so rusted shut. it took all my friends pulling to pry it open and when we got out there we saw the disgusting condition the balcony was in and the fact the railing was held together by a piece of plywood haha that was crazy to see. don’t get me started on the ridiculous amount of fruit flies appearing out of no where every single day multiplying!! my time in puerto rico was amazing but i was sad every time i had to return to the hotel to change/sleep. do yourself a favor and stay somewhere like a marriott. the amount i spent for what i got is criminal, i feel like i was scammed :( wish i could get my money back bc this was not a great experience i feel fooled.

It was unsanitary, there was an unpleasant-smelling on the hallways by the time we were in the hotel. There was construction going on at the pool area so we were not sure if this was the cause for this. Our stay was disappointing from the start. Accessing the hotel was inconvenient as there were only stairs, no ramp or assistance which made it really difficult to carry our luggage in. On top of that, when I politely asked to step outside near the reception area to look at the beach, I was told not to open the door and directed elsewhere, which felt unwelcoming.

The property was in a great location. It was not as run down as the reviews showed. However, we booked with Expedia and selected queen beds, which the property does not even have. We were given double beds only in 1 room and a King and chair sleeper in the other even though I called 3 times to make sure we would have two queen beds in each room. Also, the room was not ready when we arrived, but it only took them 15 minutes to ready. We were missing bedding which they sent up in a few hours after our request and we never received the extra blanket. The beach access is also only from 7 AM to 7 PM, which made it difficult for us since we went on several excursions and didn't make it back in time. Overall it was a good stay. The shower had plenty of hot water and the beds were comfortable. The lenai we booked was pretty run down. We're not too picky so the room was acceptable to us.

My overall experience was VERY mid. When we got there our balcony door didn’t open. Had to wait a day for someone to come and “fix” it (tell us not to lock it so it can stay open). They only came to take our dirty towels and told us we only clean the rooms if your staying 4 nights or longer. Mold smell in the room. I wouldn’t come back. Not worth it for the price you pay.

Ive stayed here before and my previous experience was the complete opposite to this one. Upon arrival in the early morning.... our side of the building was without water. In addition to being unable to shower, we found an infeststion of roaches on bed, in covers. We brought this to management's attention and they did little to nothing to show concern. Needless to say we cancelled our reservation and left later that morning. They had a complete disregard for these unsanitary conditions. Did not even TRY to compensate in any way.

The water was off for 12 hours during my stay. I had to bathe with water bottles and brush my teeth with them. They didn’t offer a credit or remove money off the hotel for inconvenience. I was happy that I was able to do my laundry there but locating the laundry facility was very hard since it was on basement two and there’s only one elevator that goes to basement two there’s also no air conditioning or service in basement too so it’s very scary down there. Overall, the hotel was very beautiful and had a lot of space and I absolutely love the balcony but due to not having water for 12 hours, I will not be booking here again.
