We had to be careful not to touch doors or molding in our room, as the recently-lacquered wood had not dried. Additionally, the room had the ambiance of a hospital operating room, with sea foam green walls and a buzzing, square light fixture. It's located in a gated community adjacent to a fairly bad neighborhood. Be prepared to walk quite... more

I stayed one night at Hostería del Mar in a "Standard" Room and also saw another room in the same category. For the quality of accomodation I experienced, the Hotel - properly a Guesthouse - would not be worth staying if it wasn't for the setting and the beachfront location. My Standard Room - see photos posted - was barely... more

We tried to book a reservation twice at this hotel. We tried through their Web site and through gotopuertorico.com. We did not receive any confirmation that they got our inquiry and they didn't respond to e-mails, so we made arrangements elsewhere, but they charged us for not canceling the reservation. We eventually got our money back, but it was after... more

I went directly to the website to book this hotel. I should have thought twice when the site traveler's review page was under constuction. The hotel room was horrible. The showere head sqirted water all over the bathroom. The bedspread and rug was dirty and dingy. The bed had bed bugs. I left with lumps all over my legs. The... more

Nice price, great location but this hotel has bed bugs. more

The waves varied in size, and at times they were pretty big. The beach was great. Kids were building sand castles, while others were laying in the sun. The hotel itself... more

We stayed at the Inn from April 30th to May 3rd 2008. It took forever to find the place. Once inside looked old and was greeted by a dirty carpet leading to our rooms, 106 & 103. Was told we had a ocean front room #106 and the door would open right on to the beach, however what they didn't... more

Hosteria del Mar is beautifully situated on the beach and features a surf side indoor/outdoor restaurant that gets you about as close to the water as possible. However, if you're at all discriminating, beware that the apartments will disappoint you. Old, tired, dirtyish and without any views. Perhaps the regular rooms are better, I don't know. Also, beware the rollaway... more

You must read the review 'awful' ? - It is absolutly correct ! We have been looking for a hotel in San Juan - for little money - near airport - at the beach. - And we got it !! So for us Hosteria Del Mar was a good choise and we had two wonderful days. You are looking for... more
