Its OK to stay if you're on a budget. If you have a little extra spend then book elsewhere. The building is under construction, the hallways are dimmly lit. The lobby is large, bright and open. Our room was beautiful but the sheets appeared to have some staining, as well as one of the towels. If you're a person who tends to be cold make sure you ask for an extra blanket. Parking in the parking garage is tight and there is limited 'guest' spots. It is evident the hotel staff are doing the best they can. As a person in leadership and management, it appears the issues stem from the top down and maybe limited funds to improve the property. THERE IS NO POOL. THE GATE TO THE BEACH IS OPEN 7-7 and it is a long walk around the neighboring properties to get back to the main entrance of the hotel. I would stay again because of its convenience and just bring my own towels/sheets and toiletries.

My room was situated in the 6th floor. There seemed to be an issue with moisture in my room because it smelled terribly like mold and you can feel the humidity in the air inside the room. My friend stayed in the same floor, 2 doors down and her room was also in poor condition. Interior humidity was bad, the room smelled like mold and dog food. The paint was peeling from the walls by the kitchen. Service at the counter was great, staff was helpful and kind. The bed sheets, towels and table were clean. But the conditions of the rooms were terrible.

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.
