This is a perfect location. The space was a smidge tight for our family of 4 but the location was worth it. We’d definitely stay again.

Great value & location!
Excellent location! Near shop’s & restaurants and on the bus line. Cute apartment with kitchen and living room! King bed was really nice. Older unit was charming, but had some quirks. Bath/shower was tricky to use. No handles on the kitchen cabinets made them hard to open. No paper towels, sustainable but not that convenient. Could hear the neighbors above pretty clearly. I would recommend and stay there again.

Our 8th stay here was extremely pleasant. Javier at the front desk was very helpful; got us into the room we requested and made sure we were able to get a parking pass. This is the best place to stay on the island and we’ll be staying there until again soon.

Boutiquesque!
Beautiful hotel, more like a boutique hotel with a Spanish theme, in the perfect location. The room was like a small apartment, full kitchen, beautiful living room with view over looking an inner courtyard. We will be going back!

Cute hotel. Great location a short walk to the beach, restaurants very close. Bathroom was very small in our room. Also there was no fridge or microwave in room. Parking was available for a fee, but was offsite at a garage in the Bank of America about a block from the hotel.
Overall a nice stay with friendly staff.
