The stay was pretty good the first night we came back to the room and our door batteries were dead and had to wait to get in that was a hassle Every time we went to our room the hallway smelled like marijuana the second day it smelled so bad we could smell it in our room I complained they said they were going to investigate but I never saw anyone come up to investigate

Weekend getaway
This hotel is central to many key areas and well situated. It is clean, quiet, safe and secure. The staff go out of their way to help you feel at home. Internet is stable. The food at the poolside was fun. You have to try the chicken wings and Tamarind drink. The lobby had a nice aroma to it.

The hotel was beautiful, but the first room I checked into had a food tray sitting on the refrigerator. I was then moved to another room on the same floor and it was cleaner, I removed the pillow to sit o the chair and found a room key hold from the previous day. That made me question the cleanliness of the room, so I cleaned the room myself.

This is a beautiful hotel, walking distance to the most delicious puerto rican food Puerto Rico had to offer... service was great and the people were attentive and hospital. The only thing that would of made this stay perfect is if the hotel allowed access to the beach in the evening, which they don't

8/10 Very good

The moment I entered the room, I noticed a strong, musty odor that made it difficult to relax. It became clear that the room was excessively humid, which only exacerbated the smell. Despite my attempts to air out the room, the odor persisted throughout my stay. The humidity also made the bedding feel damp and uncomfortable, which significantly impacted my ability to sleep. I reported the issue to the front desk, but the staff's response was less than satisfactory, and no effective solution was offered. I hope the management takes steps to address these problems for future guests.
