“Great staff, too pricey.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 May 2011

We went to San Pedro on a lark and so we had to scramble a bit to find a hotel for Easter weekend. La Aldea had a cabana available and that was more than we needed, but after a long flight and bus trip, we just said yes. Overall, I'd say it is too pricey for what it is: the beds are okay, the bedding sub-par in terms of luxury (seemingly worn comforters, old chair cushions), the hot water was spotty (though that was easily remedied when brought to the attention of the staff-- when the power goes out the hot water fuse is tripped and no hot water). The pool was nice, but in the winter was not necessary. They did provide free bikes which was great. The breakfast was great. And the staff was awesome. We had limited English and they were very helpful with changes to travel plans, etc. We liked that it was outside of town, not in the thick of things, and fortunately we had their bikes so we could get around easily without paying for cabs. I wanted to like this place more than I did. Overall, if we had paid $150 per night, not $250 per night, I'd have a better take on the place. My husband just said: "while I didn't love it, I was very grateful to them for their service."

“Overpriced, poor service and dirty, dark rooms, too far from the centre of town”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 December 2010

I was very disappointed with this hotel. It was a good 15/20 minutes from the main street, along dark roads which felt a bit unsafe at night. There were hardly any guests, and my room was dark and dusty, with rickety beds and a dirty bathroom which had no towels on arrival. The pool faced the driveway and car park, so it didn't feel at all secluded which discouraged me from sunbathing. The internet was broken so I had to resort to using the expensive internet cafes in town. The staff had little understanding of English and were generally not helpful, and I was not made to feel welcome when I arrived. I thought that this hotel was very overpriced and wish I had stayed at Terrantai and Kimal which are actually central.
