The room I booked was not what I expected. I was in town for 2 nights for a funeral. The area is quiet and I very much enjoyed hearing the Coqui at night. The area has a lot of creature comforts nearby and within walking distance. The beach is down the street and food is available within walking distance. The only thing I would say is relay to guests that the lock for parking is in the inside of the gate. The La Esmerala sign was no where to be found by me. It wasn't until I left the stay that I noticed the locks on the inside of the gate. Would stay again due to the proximity to everything I needed.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We stayed in the Lumbini room, the Honeymoon suite. It was terribly dirty. The floor was gritty, there were fake fingernails in the nightstand, the walls had cobwebs covering them, lightbulbs were out, the AC remote had dead batteries, the bathroom was moldy, etc. It is suffocatingly hot in every room except the bedroom, due to a single AC unit. The property definitely needs some extra love and attention. On the plus side, it is conveniently located in a walkable neighborhood near many shops and eateries.

everything about this place was exceptional. Pictures do not make this location justice. The suite was larger than pictures. Cleanliness was impeccable and your own private garden was more than what we could have ever asked for they provided sunscreen, beach towels, everything that you need for that walk to the beach if I ever go back to Puerto Rico. This is where I would love to stay again.

The location was great, very close to everything. The room was clean. The bed was kind of uncomfortable and the light from the AC unit lights up the whole room at night which makes it a little hard to sleep. Overall, I’d stay there again.
