This is not a 5 star but your not paying for that either. Friendly staff all pleasant, rooms ok . Food at hotel ok not great but they are trying. They handled a problem once I called them ok. Bar and resturant across the street ok. Nice looking beach across road. $50 cab from airport 4 people and luggage $40 to old San jaun.About 4 mile to Rum factory.I would stay again. Not fancy but ok.

We spent one night here. We found the staff pleasant and helpful. Room was large with a comfortable king bed. The bathrrom was small, but the shower had great flow and there were plenty of towels (I hate when there are only 2 towels for 2 people--don' tother women use a towel for their hair as well?) The hotel was older, but they kept it in good repair, it was well lit at night and the parking lot was lighted. The free breakfast was very good: homemade waffles (plain and chocolate), scrambled eggs, ham, fruit, hard boiled eggs, juice, coffee, cereal, bagels and pastries. There is a restaurant/bar across the street offering local food. We drove down the road a bit and found several very local restaurants (not much English spoken here!) The hotel sits across the street from the ocean--great view we didn't see til the next morning.

Out of San Juan. Clean with great staff. Very very nice pool area. We really liked the bar/restaurant across the street...awesome, authentic food, smiling staff, cold/cheap beer. Have to try Madella beer. The garlic shrimp were our favorites. The noise from the bar was loud at the hotel. The hotel is not fancy but you get exactly what is advertised. The staff was very helpful with taxis etc.We all liked getting out of town and would definately go back.

We stayed at this hotel for three nights and it could not have been nicer!! The beach there is a summer time one so we just enjoyed the views. I celebrated my 65 birthday there in the dining room being serenaded by an awesome tenor opera singer who also played the piano. You have not heard any thing so beautiful as the song 'My Way' sang in Spanish especially since you already know the words in English.
The staff is wonderful and the food was excellent at the restaurant on the top floor of the hotel.
On the other hand the old restaurant upstairs across the street is miserable!! Watch them, too, they will put their tip on the bill and make it appears that they haven't been tipped at all
We visited the zoo while we were there and enjoyed it very much!
As for Puerto Rico in general, we didn't enjoy it. It is very dangerous since the general population is very poor. The United States has been building huge magnificent freeways and toll roads all across the island, not hiring the locals, but importing our union workers for the jobs. The price at the pump for gas ranges between $.87 & $.90/gallon, yes eighty-seven to ninety cents per gallon for regular gas! So it is true, the oil companies are not the ones making all that money, we are being charged huge taxes that are being used to build huge magnificent roads NOT in the United States. The big billboards read 'AMERICANS REINVESTING IN AMERICA'.
Whatever you do be sure you have a GPS! The road signage in many places in very confusing, but GPS works well. The car rental agencies will try to charge you $20/day to rent one, otherwise the rent cars are not expense if you reserve on line ahead of your trip. Rent a small car because the regular roads are narrow.
