“Gr8 place to stay/eat”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 June 2006

people found this review helpful

Stayed at the hotel for 2 nights. It is a great place to stay on that part of the island. Rooms were very clean, staff was courteous and helpful. My girlfriend had medicine that needed to be refrigerated and the staff offered to keep the medicine refrigerated until the next day when needed.
The food was very good. Despite some of the other reviews on here saying the food was terrible we had very good experience with it.
The grounds are well maintained and the price is fantastic. When we visit that part of the island again we will certainly stay there again.

“Great Deal”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 June 2006

I stayed with my family for a weekend, and it was better than I expected. We took the all inclusive package and the food was nice; acctually when you took breakfast they make your reservation for lunch,then at lunch they made your reservation for dinner so when you came you dont have to wait to long.The rooms were a little small but comfortable,also very clean.The pool was nice too. I think they already fix the electricity problem because they weren't using the noisy generators that I read in another review.Has a great location for the southwest attractions of the island. We recommended it.

“HG 1929 is a lovely spot for independent travellers...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 March 2006

people found this review helpful

This is a great place for travellers who are self-sufficient - there is nothing happening in Guanica or the surrounding towns. We loved the "off the beaten track" location - near some gorgeous beaches and 40 minutes from both Ponce and the West Coast of PR. The local restaurants and taverns are not likely gathering spots for tourists...

HG 1929 is a historic property, leased to the owner/operator with some bureaucratic stumbling blocks. The electrical rewiring is waiting for PR government certification, and the generator that was to be on site for 30 days has been noisly operating for 1 yr. The guest room windows cannot be replaced, and they can't be opened either. This gives the small rooms a cell-like quality, a shame given the nice and comfortable furnishings, modern bathroom, and efficient A/C. The staff is bilingual and lovely.

Paradores feature on site restaurants, and HG 1929 has a pleasant indoor/outdoor cafe on the property. We don't agree with previous reviewers who claim it is the "worst food on the plantet," but having stayed in two properties owned by this family, we are glad we did not opt for the inclusive packages. The food is adequate, but not worth the ala carte prices. Take a pass on the food, and enjoy this beautiful location as a launching point for exploration of southwestern PR.

“Pretty buiding, nice people, very clean, worst food on the planet”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 February 2006

people found this review helpful

Lovely old colonial building, beautiful elgant setting, 15 minute drive to nice beaches. Do not eat dinner there. The menu is lovely but they cannot cook, it is the worst food I've ever eaten. They actually brought me a frozen fish from the kitchen to show me. It was served as a meal seven minutes later. It had either been microwaved or boiled. It tasted like wet wood. Great price, very clean place, stay there but eat elsewhere. Breakfast is tolerable. There is a very noisy generator so eating on the patio is tough, and make sure your room is away from that generator or you'll be sorry.

“Give it a miss”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2006
1
person found this review helpful

I used the reviews from this site and two others and decided to stay at the Inn.
On the positive side, the Inn is centrally located if you want to see the south west part of the Island. In addition, the room was spartan but clean.

On the flip side, the staff were slow, unhappy, and did a very poor job making up the room (we stayed three nights). In addition, the restaurant and its food were deplorable. The service was slow (had to wait 45 minutes once seated to get menus). Once the food arrived it was inedible. We are not finicky eaters, but the fish smelled putrid.

Give this place a miss!
