“A PERFECT GETAWAY WITH FAMILY!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 March 2011

My family & I arrived at the hotel late at night. There was a friendly receptionist available to check us in. We went to our room tired, notice how spacious and clean it was kept. We recieved a room that overlooked Boqueron Beach! We loved waking up each morning and looking out to see the beautiful view. The mornings we went to the hotels resturant "La Cascada" means waterfall and there is one! We enjoyed a great breakfast that filled us up for the days adventures.
There are nice local shops that are open on the weekends, bars and resturants, bodagas to shop and eat, and Boqueron Beach right near the hotel.
We also went to Buye Beach, Combate Beach, Playa Sucia Beach (Cabo Rojo Lighthouse). All these beaches are different and beautiful in there own way! We never wanted to leave! For the first time, We took our 17m old baby boy to the Mayaguez Zoo to see the animals. He had a Blast!
There's also a visitor's guide set up in the main lobby. If we had questions on how to get somewhere or just needed more information. The receptionist at the hotel was always available to answer our questions and give us more information.
Our vacation unfortunately came to an end, I knew I would miss this beautiful sunny weather and go back home to cold snowy weather in NY. I will definently be returning to Puerto Rico and staying at Parador Boquemar, the whole staff was very friendly and willing to help my family and I at anytime.

“Stay away from this Dump, or learn the hard way !”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2011
1
person found this review helpful

This is not a hotel , it's a short stay motel for the local drunks.
After I looked at the room with the towels with holes in them and beds that felt like they where plywood boards, I turned around and checked out. There are three irons for the entire motel. So if you plan to wear unwrinkled clothes you better bring your own, that includes the iron board. As for parking there is none available the locals use it because theres no one to tell them they cant. All in all it is an over rated dump ! I wonder who put their web sight together??

Please accept our apology for the inconvenient you had. Because it was an unusual situation we remember the problem with the towel. We regret that you decided to leave the hotel even though we made an effort to quickly resolve the problem. The front desk clerk was more than willing to help you and was taken aback by your response.
For the convenience of our guest we have, at no extra charge and available upon request: irons/ironing boards, hair dryers, extra towels, extra pillows, security boxes, and board games.
As for the parking lot it is for our guest only and if a guest reports any car that does not have the identification provided at check in we proceed to call the police and advise its removal.

“Horrible_no hot water, hard bed, flat pillows, WORST TRAFFIC NOISE EVER”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2011

We have been to and stayed in Boqueron before and travelled around the island extensively. We live here in PR. My suggestion is that you pack your bedsheets/pillows and rent from one of the many apartment rentals in the area or find one fully equipped.

Boquemar---Clean, affordabe, great location---WHICH IS POINTLESS because it's not possible to use the hotel for the basic purposes---bathing and sleeping. It was absolutely awful. We checked in at 6pm and checked out at 1am the same night and drove back to our home in San Juan (2.5 hours away). Do not believe a word of the manager responses. WE experienced the same problems (SEE title) as other reviewers submitted over a year ago.

We could have tolerated the cold shower and the hard bed but essentially there is nothing but aluminum shutters between you and the people cruising by blasting their radios and gunning their engines as they drive past. Unbearable. Do not take an odd-numbered room as those are on the street side.

If you are handicapped beware as the grab bar next to the toilet sticks out over the left side of the toilet seat so you have to lean to the right and lean on the sink. We are able-bodied so it was inconvenient where it might be impossible for others.

Adding injury to inconvenience----my husband had an allergic reaction/food poisoning to the mixed seafood 'Mofongo Madness' he ate at Galloway's after we checked-in. Try balancing on the toilet (see above) when you have diarrhea! Madness indeed.

So far, the only good thing is that we were not charged----so far.

We respect your comments and opinion regarding our facilities and location. We regret what happened to your husband in a nearby restaurant and we hope that he is fully recovered.
Rooms on the first floor that are prepared to receive visitors with physical limitations might result uncomfortable to those that do not require special accommodations, but in Parador Boquemar we gladly comply with the regulations that oblige us to have these special facilities.
Our rooms on the second and third floor are more spacious and less noisy. Also, it is very unfortunate that you were not pleased with the pillows and mattress because they had been replaced.
We appreciate that you took the time to post your review considering that you had to travel back to your home late that night.

“No frills”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 August 2010
1
person found this review helpful

Parador Boquemar fit my needs. I was looking for an fairly inexpensive, "no frills" place to spend one night. The room was adequate, although the pillows were flat and the bed was a bit uncomfortable. The staff was courteous. Parking was free. The location was great, as the hotel is on the main street in Boqueron. And, it was a short walk to the beach, nightlife, restaurants and souvenir shops.

“Not recommended”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 April 2010

The only good thing is that is located in "El Poblado" that is very cool to spend the night, and that is near the beaches of Cabo Rojo. But the room was terrible, there was no hot water, the A/C did not worked properly and the bed was super uncomfortable, to top of the line is that the pool is small and no Wi-Fi! . There are better places to stay in Cabo Rojo.
