This is our second stay at this particular hotel. What we found to be offbeat and quirky the first stay turned into annoyance and frustration on this one. First, let me say that the location is spectacular and it is still the most relaxing hotel we've ever visited. The food (especially dinner from the restaurant) was great and the staff... More

We went to multiple placing while in Puerto Rico (el convento, w resort and spa, etc), and this was by far the best. The beautiful villa we stayed in was well worth the price.

We were delighted to find out that we can now bring our kids to this beautiful little spot. We understand what people say about the humble surroundings; but this is the Caribbean--if you want prim and proper without any "couleur local" the Montage in Beverly Hills is your place. The hot water is an issue; I hope that the management... More

We have heard about the Horned Dorset for years. Based upon its excellent reputation, we very much looked forward to going. It's a charming setting, the rooms are pretty, and the staff were generally eager to please. Unfortunately, delivery of service and amenities are not anywhere near five-star standards.
