Our room was nice with a balcony. The top floor pool was a great place to hang out in the afternoon. Lots of good restaurants nearby. Never walked more than 3 blocks to get anything we needed.

Unique, charming hotel. We had a large comfy room with a balcony, by the river so relatively quiet but within walking distance of The Malecon and the beach. Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good and the bartender at pool bar made a good Margherita. Will be back.

The staff is excellent. The rooms are lovely (we’ve stayed here twice). The location is fabulous - quiet and charming. Lovely rooftop pool / bar where the delightful Jesus tends bar. Highly recommended if you’re looking for something other than a boring resort.

The staff, particularly Javier, Reuben and Ivan were all so friendly and passionate about making the hotel inviting and fun. I love the housecats (Francesca and Elizabeth), the decor, the comfortable bed, the balcony, the infinity pool on the roof! Some of the best cocktails I had in PV were made by Reuben at the pool bar.
The breakfast was included with the deluxe room and it was delicious! The hotel is located right by the river so you get an incredible view, nice breeze and a front row seat to wildlife (birds, iguanas, geckos, so many dogs and cats). It's also close to everything - restaurants, shopping, chocolatiers, lavandarias, and it's a 15 min walk to the beach. When I come back again to PV I won't stay anywhere else.

Fun hotel. No fuss, good for independent travelers. I loved being by the river. It made for cool and shady walks. Loads of good restaurants all around. One 5 star a few paces from the hotel.

Quirky place with a vibe. Mostly very clean. Odd musty smeall in room (Kyro). Staff responded to our needs. Once the room wasn't cleaned when we had wanted it done. Other than that we really enjoyed our stay. Lovely location.
