The ceiling in the toilet leaks so we have to transfer. The oven doesn't work good, needs a wall to cover it against the wind. It took us 3 hours to cook. The freezer door broke. The bathroom ceiling creates a noise when you open/close door.
Staff are all helpful, friendly and very courteous, just needs to know how to communicate well in english other than that, they are all nice staff.
The interior of the hotel is ordinary. But the ocean and malecon view is just fantastic. The location of the hotel is excellent.

End up in basement
We could not get our assigned room as the key wouldn’t open the door and they couldn’t fix it, therefore they put us in the basement behind tree. It was called an upgrade by the hotel as it had 2 beds. We did t need 2 beds.
A rather old hotel which has not been modernized but still has the basics right. Perfect location next to the pier and lots of good restaurants. Very good staff and the sand is cleaned up every day. The air conditioning is loud but the neighborhood is quiet. The pool is barely large enough for 2 people and it was added for publicity. Its worthless. But all in all, its a solid choice.
We love El Emperador. It’s simple but super well kept. And the staff is the best. Add to that the location, right on the beach and easy walking to many great restaurants. It’s great
Great location! Right on the beach and close to restaurants and shopping and activities. Enjoyed my stay here ! I stayed in the ocean front (Standard Suite Ocean View) room. The view was excellent and the room was spacious. Nice balcony area also.
My room was perfect for 1 person and it was clean. I had breakfast at a table in the sand every morning. I even watched a whale flap its tail from my table one day. The hotel is convenient to everything in PV. The staff from the front desk and to housekeepers were extremely helpful and nice. I highly recommend staying here!!
