“Not worth the money”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 February 2011
4
people found this review helpful

They charged us 130 USD and gave us a choice of 2 different rooms. We choose one over looking the pool that had a rancid musty odor. The smell was afoul but after 30 minutes or so in the room you tend to notice it less.

They must have a light bulb issue. At night walking to the room all the lights on the path were out. Then we got to our room and the reading lamp was missing a bulb. We went down to the desk and asked for one and they said they would bring it up. After 30 minutes we fun another hallway and removed a bulb and they never did end up bringing the bulb.

I am not a picky traveler but this place is maybe worth 50 USD a night and NOT 130. We should have stayed at Gladys Guest house for under 50.

Oh and I read the reviews about the restaurant. Well I guess it was so bad it went out of business because there is no restaurant on the premises however their sign out front still boasts they have a restaurant.

“Don't Stay!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 March 2008
1
person found this review helpful

What a horrible experience. We arrived and thought it would be okay, since the outside and back patio of the parador looked decent. First of all, the girl working at the front said it was her first day at the desk. She said that she normally worked in their restaurant (which, by the way, does not open during the weekdays; only only sat & sun; but you will notice that this is not what is advertised on the sign out front: see pic).
She gave us a room that was supposed to be one of their high end rooms. It was horrible!!! There were tears in the rug, and it was the size of a small dorm room. Not to mention, the ugly decor.
We went right back down and complained and they gave us another room (not ocean front as we paid for), facing the street. The room was a 2 on a scale of 1-10. The room itself "appeared" clean. The toilet was filthy, and the coach had a few stains. Because it was too late to find another hotel and it didn't seem like there would have been anything better, since La Pagueria is such a small town, we decided to stay.
Never again will we stay here.

“Terrible experience”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 March 2008

The place is very run down and is in serious need of a major renovation.

DO NOT eat at their restaurant. The food is awful. We were the only ones there, and we were there for a good 1 1/2 hours. No wonder. You can get better mufongo at a takeout restaurant, and for considerably less money. As the other dishes came out, it was one disappointment after another. Even the bread was bad. Wow.

On several occasions, when we needed something, no one was at the front desk. If you want an enjoyable experience in PR, go elsewhere.

“Trouble getting back overcharge”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 March 2008
1
person found this review helpful

They charged an extra $ ( a couple of hundred dollars). It took 9 weeks to get money returned. Something is wrong with management. When I first asked for it, they told me they do refund processing only at end of month. Why??? If they know they overcharged, why cannot they make an correction right way. Anyway, they did not make correction at the end of the month. I needed to call them again at the middle of the month. Now, they said they will do it right way. ???? I would like to advise everyone that the restaurant's food is not good. They are a lot of places better and cheaper than that. I will never never advise anyone to go there.
