Got there.. parking was not included, maybe I missed that on the details. Bed sheets were stained, TV remote didn’t work, people were not supposed to be in the pool after 10pm, I had to call the office because our room was literally in front of the pool and it was 11 some and I thought I had Bad Bunny giving us a free concert inside our room….

El piso apestaba mucho y era por el uso del trapeador que es muy viejo y olía a demasiada humedad, los colchones demasiado aguados, y el cobro del uso de estacionamiento para los extranjeros es caro 15 dlls diarios y por último vimos cucarachas. En otros hoteles no cobran estacionamiento.

Advertised as “new”, it was a bit rundown. But then, you get what you pay for. Bed sheets had holes in them and we had ants, especially in the bathroom. Found one in the bed and one in my iPad when I opened the cover. Pretty sure we had a heard of elephants above us that did nothing but stomp around. This would be a hard pass for a second visit to SPI. It would have to be the only place available

I stayed for three nights. The hotel room itself was clean. The sheets could’ve been better. So def take extra blankets. The only other thing that isn’t mentioned when booking that I didn’t like was the $100 deposit fee to get your keys & the $15 parking per night. No where when booking did I see any of those requirements but to each their own.

The extra charge for parking, is like no sense, alk the costumera drives to go at the beach, is like the restaurant charge to use the plates, r spoons, or cups. Also the sheed has to be replaced . Hair dryer no works.

I’m not exactly sure what the other guests who rated this place “wonderful” experienced or if they just have incredibly low standards but mine was rather dissimilar. First, we had to pay for parking which is odd given that most hotels or if not, all, accommodate parking for paying guests. Second, the bed sheets had stains on them, the pillows seemed like the cheapest from Walmart (flat, dusty, dirty white, and uncomfortable). Third, the shower was gross too with rust forming in the shower head considering the hotels front sign says “brand new hotel”. The ventilator didn’t properly work well either so the restroom was wet and musty smelling when we first walked in. Fourth, the pictures were highly deceiving. The pictures emitted some upscale or at least modern like clean hotel bedroom but really it was far from it. It looks like any other motel you’d find in the middle of nowhere. Fifth, the receptionist was unhelpful. Although I don’t expect for them to know every single detail of the island the least they can do if we have questions about food suggestions is try to do a quick google search or give local favorites suggestions. Any type of “willingness to help” would be considered much better customer service. Book at your own risk. You’re better off getting a hotel next to the beach.

Great stay and can’t beat the price I paid around $100 dollars a night for a Thursday night stay in the middle of summer. Staff was friendly and helpful. There was a $15 over night parking fee for your vehicle in the hotel and a $100 security deposit. The hotel is minutes away from the beach. The rooms looked recently remodeled I would stay again in this hotel which is very budget friendly goes par to par with other high end hotels double or triple the price.

I got one of the suites and while I realize nowadays you never get what you pay for the room had several issues. I reported none because we weren’t there long and the staff was great but the shower rod was broke and it wouldn’t allow for the curtain to completely close. The shower itself should have a new shower head. The one there was terrible. We had the jacuzzi tub in our room and the button to turn on the jets worked but they wouldn’t turn off. My husband had to hit the circuit button on the outlet plugs just to turn it off. I just feel for what I paid for it to have these amenities they should at least work properly.

The room was clean, but the covers were so thin that we were grateful that we took blankets. As per the pillows, Ive stayed at my fair share of hotels and each had given us at least 2 sets on each bed. Well we only had a total of 4 thin pillows for 2 full beds. Another thing was the online picture & the room description said beds would be queen size beds & I can attest both were full. The ac takes forever to cool the room down.

Overall: hotel gets a 3. For the price it isn’t bad but I wish we had more pillows.

I am giving this property 4 and a half stars. The thing I liked big trash can outside on the patio . Clean room . Clean towels every day deliver to the room . Friendly friendly staff.
The things I didn’t enjoy . Hairdryer was not working , no hangers in the room no coffee . Also cleaning crew came to our room without our permission while we weren’t in the room . They did not have any do not disturb signs. Had to pay quite a bit for the parking each night for that reason I wish they had free breakfast and coffee service in the room . Other than my stay was great . Fun and comfortable.

I had that room for just one night and was so happy about that! First of all I had to pay $15 for parking. My room was facing the pool (I believe most rooms are), the noise level was overwhelming. But that wasn’t the worst of it, once I opened the door to my room I was hit in the face with nasty, moldy, old wet socks smell. There’s no carpet in the room and tiled floor was slippery wet from high humidity in the room. TV had 3 channels (although according to a card glued to the wall, it supposed to have at least 30)
Positive: comfortable bed, close to the beach (5min DRIVE), bar-lounge next door, few restaurants nearby.

The bath tub with jets did work perfectly fine in our room which is the main reason we booked that room. AC worked pretty well. Beds weren't comfy and they can use an upgrade on the pillows. I would stay here again if it was half the price

I was very disappointed with my stay. The hotel charges for parking and also requires a $100 damage deposit, but neither fee was clearly disclosed when I booked the room. That was an unpleasant surprise at check-in. The room itself was not in the condition I expected. There were stains on the beds, curtains, and towels, and some of the towels even had holes in them. It’s frustrating to be asked to leave a damage deposit when the room already had visible wear and damage before I arrived. I hope the hotel is more transparent about its fees and does a better job maintaining its rooms. I will not be staying there nor do recommend anyone staying there.

I loved this hotel! It was originally the price that pulled me in truthfully, but my boyfriend and I were most impressed by the helpful staff. We were unaware that every morning the staff will come into your room and will make your bed, take out the trash, and provide fresh towels for you. It was so nice! The room was nice and the bed was comfy. The property was nice. It was quiet during sleep hours! The only (small) downside is the paid parking in the lots, but you can park on the side of the building or road for free. Sadly I forgot the name of the lady at the front desk that checked me in, but she was very nice and helpful and explained the in’s and out’s of the property. I enjoyed may stay, and I would stay here again!

We didn't realize you had to pay $10 per day for parking, so that was an unexpected fee. Otherwise, the staff were very attentive and helpful. The pool in the middle was great but packed with people every night. The walls were super thin so being downstairs, we heard EVERYTHING! We were grateful for the location being right on the island (2-5 min from beach) and so close to everything was very ideal.

I was very disappointed with my experience. I have COPD and a valid handicap placard, yet I was still required to pay $15 to park in a handicap parking space. For guests with disabilities, this feels unfair and inconsiderate.

To make matters worse, the TV in our room did not work. We had booked a night at the hotel, but between the non-working TV and being charged for handicap parking, we decided to leave instead of staying.

I expected much better accommodations and customer service. Unfortunately, this experience left a very negative impression, and I would not recommend staying here.

Room was pretty clean, air conditioning was excellent. Kept the room very cool even with mid 90s heat. Pool was clean. Parking is based on a daily pay rate, but you could park on the street at no charge. I needed to stay one more night beyond my reservation and they accommodated that request at a reasonable rate.

The only downside would be the pillows. I had 4 pillows and none of them were comfortable at all. They were all flat, no fluff or support.

No decor, but do you really need decor to sleep? It would've helped with the grey walls.

Overall the stay did the job. The beds had stains, when we went to the front office they let us know that it was bleach stains and that the new sheets were back ordered. Even if we were moved to another room, those sheets would also have the bleach stains. The pillows are very thin so it took a while to be able to fall asleep. Very limited on the amount of towels. Location wise it’s close to everything. Parking you do have to pay per night.
