Our initial impression was very favourable and we did not change our view. On entering our room we found a complimentary bottle of water, small bottle of wine, basket of sweets and a couple of chocolate biscuits which was EXCELLENT for a "2 key" rated apartment. How often in the past have I arrived in Spain gasping for a drink of water and found everywhere closed?

Some reviews have commented on the hill climb and stairs but the brochure makes it clear that it is not suitable for people of limited mobility so having a lot of stairs is not a valid criticism.

The rooms were very clean and spacious with a good sized balcony, there were pictures on the walls and real plants in the lounge and on the balcony, again, more than one would expect from a 2 star hotel. A couple of chips on the enamel of the bath were not a problem in view of the price we paid and it seems churlish of me to mention it .

The pool area was very good, spacious and with plenty of sun loungers. Paul, the host did his job well and made it a personal target to try to learn everyone's name.

Trips were overpriced and you could save a lot of money by booking them yourself in the town.

Downsides of the holiday did not relate to the hotel / apartments but more to the harassment by time share sellers at the beach and the fact that if you stopped by a restaurant to look at a menu you were descended upon by staff trying to persuade you to eat there. The WORST CULPRIT was a bar in Puerto Rico where the staff tell you it is happy hour and that all drinks a 2 for the price of 1 and then double your order so that if you buy a gin and tonic they give you 2 and the prices are more than the other bars so you end up getting 2 for the price of 2 whether or not you want 2.. When I brought this to the attention of the rep suggesting she warn people and her only response was "That's Puerto Rico for you".

I would definitely return to this hotel and recommend it to others as i said, it does what it says on the tin.

We arrived at Guanabara Park at 5am on a Sunday morning to be greeted with a grumpy man behind the reception. Not a great start to the hols. When we got to our room it was very clean spacious and every thing we were looking for. The whole Guanabara experience was ok but BORING. We had an entertainer for the first night then that was it! There was supposed to be music at the pool in the daytime but that too only happened once. The bar staff were charging all different prices for the drinks so that led us to hit the nightlife down the centre which was excellent, highly recommended. Paul the entertainer was arrogant and too drunk most nights to be bothered to entertain and do his job although this is not a bad mark against the hotel. You will find that at the weekends the spanish people tend to overtake the hotel and pool and they are very loud. We did enjoy our holiday in Puerto Rico but only because we found our own entertainment. Do not buy any trips of the Rep as you can do it all yourself at the harbour or catch a bus to wherever you want to go at a fraction of the price.

i would definitly recommend the guanabara park apartments they were clean,well looked after and had everything we needed,we had a lovely week there and would go back tomorrow.there are plenty of shops and bars and resturants to choose from and it is all very clean. friday is market day at mogan and we went over from puerto-rico on the ferry at a cost of ten euros each return and it was a lovely pretty place with a harbour and the market.

Nice and clean and friendly. Nice big pool and bar/snacks next to it. As everyone else says its a bit of a walk up the hill but only €3 in a taxi. Good restaraunts at the bottom of the hill and try Rocky's for a good breakfast.
Paul the entertainer is a bit of a cheesy Elvis impersonater, but he knows it and is a decent bloke. If he gives you a tip where to eat take it, he's right..!

Had a nice week at Guanabara park, our party was aged between 35-52 and we walked up and down from the top of the hill twice aday. Which was ok for fit people but older people may struggle, the Pool area was kept clean and plenty of tables, chairs, sunbeds and umbrellas.
Rooms were cleaned daily and were maintained to a good standard
