Agradable y cómodo.
Pros:

La mánager fue muy atenta, la habitación y el baño eran más grandes de lo esperado y tenía ventanas a diferencia de lo que se ve en las fotos cosa que me alegró.

Cons:

Cuando fui a hacker el check-in la recepcionista intentó estafarme pidiendome el IBAN y el código de seguridad de la tarjeta de crédito. Por suerte no nací ayer y no lo permití y entonces fue que sacó el datáfono.

Pros:

This hotel was perfect! We flew to Puerto Rico for the Bad Bunny concert. The hotel was cute, it had a Moroccan vibe to it! Comfy bed, good water pressure in the shower. We liked the small kitchenette… perfect!!! Marlene was sweet and helpful. Great location with lots of eating options. Ocean park beach within walking distance.

Pros:

This may be true for the entire Island, but the staff were amazing- Sweet, accomodating, and ready with recommendations. The hotel doesn't have much in terms of amenities but if you are ok with a "beach-bum" vibe; this place is amazing. It is literally on the beach!

Pros:

This is not for resort-driven folks. It’s is by the ocean and you can practically reach down and dip your toes in at high tide. With that comes the sea spray wear. That said there seems to be wear… but that is what happens under these conditions.
Once you get your bearings about that, the beds are comfortable, the rooms are a good size, the staff is A++ and the restaurant food and service is great.
If you like an Old Dan Juan by the sea feel, this has it with a smile.

Pros:

AVOID THIS PLACE!- only giving a one star to be able to write a review. This place would get 0 stars

Our experience here was incredibly disappointing. The room had mold on the ceiling, rusty metal on the bed frame, and the sheets and towels were dirty. Be aware that there’s no elevator, so you’ll have to carry all your luggage up the stairs. We only stayed for about 30 minutes to check out the facility, and it looked nothing like the beautiful images on their booking site.

We immediately requested a refund, but the front desk staff denied our request and he refused to answer calls from Expedia when we were standing right there while the phone was running, despite knowing they were trying to reach him. To make matters worse, we saw the cook handling food with her bare hands. I found this experience very unprofessional and felt it could have been handled much differently. This experience completely ruined our family trip as we had to scramble to find another place to stay.

First time in PR
Pros:

Great low key, laid back spot right by the beach. Location is in a secure gated community, all who enter required to buzz security at the gate for entry. Close to nearby tourist spots and perfect place to have brunch/lunch with a ocean front view. Would recommend and come back for a visit.

Pros:

Hosteria del Mar has something unique about it: its location. It's located right on the ocean with a very relaxing view. It's not a luxurious hotel, but it depends on your purpose of travel. The service from the staff was excellent, especially that of Mr. Anibal, who welcomed us with his charismatic charm. Overall, if you're looking for a luxurious hotel, this isn't the Hosteria del Mar. However, if you're looking for a relaxing, family-friendly atmosphere with great food and a wonderful breeze, and a place to spend the night, I highly recommend it.

Pros:

Room was filthy. Bodily fluids on the sheets. Furniture was stained and filthy. Pubic hair in the toilet. No screens in the rooms so was very bright and loud at night time.

Stayed one night and left to another resort because it was so bad. Will never ever recommended it to anyone. Disgusting
