We spent 2 nights here just to avoid the exhorbitant prices at Copa Marina since we were on a business trip and weren't going to be lounging on the beach. It's fine for sleeping since it's quiet and clean, but there's absolutely nothing to do there. The food was so bad that we decided to eat our meals off premises. It's a gov't. run and they use it to train future hotel workers, so you can imagine how slow and inefficient it is. Check-in was very slow and the young gal could hardly operate the computer.

We stayed here for two nights, Sunday through Tuesday. The grounds are lovely, even more charming than the photos suggest. The location is secluded--a rental car is definitely needed--and very quiet. Guanica is no metropolis, but there are some restaurants (mostly fast food) and a grocery store within driving distance. The hotel is only minutes away from the beach. Ponce is a short 30-40 minute drive.

Our room (one king-size bed) was quite small, but very clean. For $85 a night, we felt it was priced appropriately. There was a TV in the room and self-controlled AC. The cafe was closed during our stay, though the hotel did offer a (limited) continental breakfast in the mornings, on what seemed to be a first-come, first-served basis. The staff was friendly, if a bit too laid-back, and we only encountered one problem--upon check-in they couldn't find our reservation. Luckily, I had the confirmation number, so they were able to retrieve my paperwork. (Our reservation information, inexplicably, was at a different hotel location.) This mix-up was easily solved and a minor inconvenience that did not affect the rest of our stay.
