“It used to be nice....”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 February 2011

First, this is no longer a "parador" (a government-run small inn). It is now a private hotel. In 2002, during our first stay, it had a decent, free breakfast, a mini-'frig in room, even a free drink when you checked in. All this is gone.

Although the room itself was clean (though musty), garbage littered the grounds below the windows. The window was rusted shut. There was no hot water in the shower. Two pieces of cold toast and bad coffee (where is the legendary Puerto Rican blend?) was $2.19. At 8 AM the restaurant was closed so we ate at the bar. "Why is the restaurant closed?" we asked. The surly clerk shrugged. "The cook's still sleeping." A stray dog and cat roamed the indoor common areas, the dog begging for food, which some guests threw from their balconies.

I've lived in Puerto Rico for six years. Do yourself a favor. Stay in San Juan. Or, better yet, vacation in the Dominican Republic. It's right next door to P.R., cheaper, and has better service.

“The Most Beautiful View”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 October 2010

My family and I lived in Arecibo, Puerto Rico for about 1 1/2years and returned to visit the Island and show our kids. We stayed at El Guajataca for 2 nights and we loved the pool and beach so much! But the best part was in the morning when we sat down for breakfast and the window right by our table was open and the ocean breezes felt so relaxing and refreshing. I felt like I didn't have a care in the world, all my family was with me and the view of the ocean and sound of the waves is a memory that always is there when I think of Puerto Rico.

“Affordable and clean”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 March 2010

The view alone is worth it!!! It is NOT a party/happenning place, which we loved. We wanted quiet and solace; that's exactly what we got. We wanted a convenient location to all our favorite places to visit in-land and the Guajataca provided that as well. Sureya, Edwin and the rest of the staff are very personnable and helpful. They provided valuable information in terms of local color and places to visit, churches, etc. Even when my husband became ill they were quick to provide help and directions to the nearest clinic. Throughout the stay they were very concerned and accomodating. This is our second visit there and we will return in the future. That area of the island is our absolute favorite and the Guajataca provides great, affordable,and clean lodging and very close to the island's best beaches! The view is absolutely breathtaking, you have to see it to believe it! If all you want is to go sightseeing in country and then crash for the night in a quiet place, this is the place for you. I loved being able to fall asleep to the sound of the waves crashing nearby everynight.
