Río Lajas Hotels

"This hotel was a mixed bag for us. The location was good - only a short walk to the beach and a few minutes from the airport. Despite being close to the airport, I didn't find the hotel too noisy. The room actually seemed pretty quiet. The other positives were the size of the room, the water pressure in the shower, and the breakfast most days was good. It was also great to have a guest laundry available. They do offer access to two beach chairs, but we did not take advantage of that as we found the other side of the beach more peaceful. On the flip side, our room had an unpleasant smell that hit you every time you walked into the room, the shower was open with glass only half way across the shower (had I known this in advance, I would have booked elsewhere as that is a huge hotel pet peeve for me) allowing water to get on the bathroom floor, and there was no fan in the bathroom. Given the ever present humidity, not having a fan in the bathroom was just ridiculous. The beds were okay, on the firm side, but the pillows offered no support. The front desk staff was mostly pleasant, but my husband did have issue with one person. Between the "resort" fee and the parking fee, there is an additional $68 per day. I don't feel like we got any value from a resort fee. Our son ended up being sick for part of our trip, so he did not join us for breakfast. Guests are not allowed to take any breakfast food out of the area, so we could not even fix him a plate and take it to our room."

"Friendly and helpful staff. "

"Pool is small but lication is amazing. "

"Clean and convenient hotel . I would stay here again. Hot water was lacking in the shower. "

"This is a great hotel great location staff is super friendly. Had no issues at all . The building its self is a little worn but that comes with time and the fact that it’s right by the salt water so completely understandable. Would definitely stay at this location again. It is a lil chilly in the hotel it’s self so dress accordingly when going from the room to the pool. However parking is not included either in the resort fees it is additional 14.50 per day. All in all a great stay and a great experience. "

"The pool was beautiful. Hotel was clean and fun! Staff by the pool were awesome. I would love to see more water stations around the property."

"Absolutely loved this place. Yes, it’s dated. But it had everything i needed to make my quick getaway enjoyable. A special thank you to Louis at the pool side bar. He was incredible. So attentive and thoughtful. 10/10 service from him. Pools. Jacuzzi. Beach. Everything in walking distance. Not much else you could ask for. Also, thank you to Melany, Angel and Andres for the daily text check ins and quick fixes when needed. Definitely returning. "
