“It Should be closed!!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 November 2011

people found this review helpful

I have never in my life seen a "Resort " like this. Everything that is offered is not available at this motel. No Ice machine, no phone in the room which smells of mildew in the middle of the Ghetto, town of Isabel. I felt unsafe and spent the majority of my time awake, because I was afraid to sleep. My mother & I stayed 1 night too long and left with no refund for the rest of the nights reserved. Please refer to the other reviews before you book. Do not waste your money.

Room Tip: Do not Come to this hotel Ever!

“DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY ON THIS DISGUSTING PLACE!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 May 2011

people found this review helpful

This resort is the most disgusting place i have ever been too! Ihave to agree with all the other comments,it was like we walked into the twilight zone. There was one other villa occupied when i was there,completely deserted. The pools are gross,no restaurant,snack bar or bar. There were no umbrellas at the pool,chaise lounge cusions are moldy,rusty doors and locks,nasty mattresses,no cable on the ancient tv. There was no hot water and the beach does not look like anything on line. You have to push back a huge rusty gate,manuever down a small cliff to get to the trash strewn beach.Once there it is almost impossible to swim. The water is extremely rough with 15 foot waves and a rip-tide. Stray dogs ran all around the resort and no one cleaned up after them. My kids have flea bites all over their legs,the room was loaded with fleas. There is no internet or cell phone service because the resort is blocked by a "mountain". The landscaping has been left to die. This place should be shut down!!!!!!!! I stayed 3 days then checked out and went to San Juan area,so much better. The only nice thing i can say is that the girl at the reception desk was very nice.

“Very unfair reviews”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 April 2011

people found this review helpful

Its not a Hilton or a gran melia but for the money you pay this hotel is an excellent place to
unwind for a few days.rooms are small but they were clean people were extremely helpful and friendly
the closer beach(2min walk) at villa pesquera its a stunning pond where the surf breaks before reaching the shore perfect for kids and local cuisine is sold at different kioskos.Playa Jobos 10min on car,its a beautiful beach perfect for veteran and beginners surfers walmart and all kinds of fast foods are within driving distances its got two very nice pools and a not so great but cheap restaurant .for the money youre paying i will surely return next year my only complain was the tv it was small and the few channels you could get were inaudible but we had a superb time!!!!!!!

Room Tip: next time i will ask for a 1st floor room no elevr

“Most disgusting place we've ever stayed.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 April 2011

people found this review helpful

We needed a place to stay while we waited for a late night flight out of Aquadilla. There were 8 of us. We wanted just a place to stay so we could hang out and get showers. We were told we had to get two rooms at over $120 a piece because we had to wear arm bands to "have access." It was like a twilight zone experience. We were told we had to wait for our rooms to be ready....not sure why as there was NO ONE THERE. Literally, no one was at this hotel. The first pool we saw was a yellow milky color. There was no one at the restuaraunt, the second "new pool" was not better than the first. I just have to agree with everything negative said below. The rooms are disgusting, nothing worked, it was just truly, truly unbelievable. It we had paid $20 per night, I would have understood, but over $100 a night was highway robbery. We all agreed 100%....most disgusting placed we've ever stayed.
