When i booked the nevada i was told they were cheap and cheerful. They were basic and clean which all i wanted. When i arrived i found a total differnt apts. They were only re -opened after being totally done up, They were spotlessly clean and very modren, even the sun beds were new. I would totally recommend these apts only down side u can hear noise from centre so if u dont paln in staying out till 4am i would not stay there.

I'm also very late with a review having only just stumbled across tripadvisor whilst researching a holiday location, so thought I'd add my experience at the Nevada Apartments.

Rather than choose the Nevada Apartments, we selected an allocation on arrival of min 2* SC hotel in Puerto Rico. We weren’t too fussed where we stayed so long as we were in Puerto Rico. Wasn’t too sure why as my parents were broken into whilst they were here and had money and passports stolen (my Dad was actually asleep leaning on the table and some thieving git actually came in and nicked his bum bag off the table laying front of him – I thought it was criminal owning a bumbag anyway!!!)

So we arrive at the Nevada Apartments - honestly first impression was 'oh dear', but once we got out of the bus, and up to the reception, it wasn't that bad at all. I think it may just have been the snob in me to be honest. There was a shop in the hotel selling the essentials at a reasonable price, as well as a bar serving drinks and snacks, again at a reasonable price.

We had a room on the 5th floor, first impression of the room, not the best about, but it had an average kitchenette, nice lounge, decent sized bathroom, good sized double bedroom and a very big balcony. Standing on the balcony, the view over Puerto Rico was fantastic (see travellers photos). My only gripe is there was no aircon and there was a charge for a fan (14 euros), safe (20 euros) and TV (approx 1 euro for 10 minutes), although charging for these is common place.

We were ideally suited for a walk down to the Commercial Centre (about 180 steps - everytime we counted them it seemed to be a different number), the beach was 10-15 minutes slow walk. As a couple, we couldn’t have really asked for more.

We made the most of the excursions on offer (Sioux City, Puerto de Mogan, Aqualand) plus used the water taxi to go and have lunch at Arguinigan (a small fishing port). We visited a few bars (Harleys, Lineker’s, Covent Garden) and a few restaurants (try El Toro for superb steak and San Miguel for a kicking paella), but generally wandered around and did as we pleased.

Only real problem we heard of was a couple of apartments were broken into whilst we were there – a young couple who we got chatting to and were directly below us lost their money, cards and passports. Another family had their safe door ripped open and lost money, cards, passports and the kids PSP and DS. When I mentioned this to my parents, they stated that when they got robbed, they were staying in the Nevada to.

I've now got to say, after my first impressions, the Nevada really did grow on me - travelling around Puerto Rico, I think we got a very good location albeit not the best looking hotel, but this didn't really bother me. Ok the hotel was dated, although I believe there is some work going on there now, but I definitely wouldn't have any problem with staying here again.

Good points:-
Good location for the whole of Puerto Rico
Massive balcony
Friendly staff
Reps were always on hand (Connor, you’re da man)
Pool area wasn’t overly busy

Bad points:-
Can be noisy when you have the windows open because it’s too hot
Sorry to say, but for some people, security
174, no 178, no 185, no…a lot of steps when you’re drunk (although this could be a good point because it does sober you up).

This review is a little late i know! I have read a lot of negative reviews on the Nevada apts but i found them great. The staff were ver welcoming and accomadating. Yes the bathrooms in the apartment did have a lot of limescale and did not seem the nicest but you dont spend your holiday in there. The Nevada apts are in a great location, although if you are looking to walk down to the local ammenities you should be aware its 187 steps down and up, taxis are available but i walked everytime. You get used to it I suppose. The pool bar did excellent lunches and staff were very friendly. The pool was good although there were a few broken and missing tiles, it was still a lovely little pool to relax in. The weather was great for June. Yes there was noise from the commercial centre at night, bu not so loud to interrupt sleep?Reading my review back it may seem tht i should not have rated it excellent but i really enjoyed my time here and for the price wha do you expect.

We booked a superior room at an extra charge of £26 per person. Every room was the same. I am at a loss to think what standard is as our bathroom had a toilet coming off the floor and wall, the bidet was broken with a large sharp shard coming up from the floor and the bath was beyond redemption with an unhealthy amount of black mould around it and also on the floor. Nothing was done about it. We were offered a room on the sixth floor after 2 days but the lifts were out of order. The pool had broken and missing tiles on both adult and child pools. This is a harbour for germs and a danger for cuts. This hotel is being re-furbished from March...so traveller beware it is now a building site
