They will not check you before even when I was in the booking area or front desk at 12:30. When I came 1/2 late after 3 they gave a two twin bed. Even when I was my self requested a change and they said they had no choices. The safe in room did not work, and when asked help for that that said they did not have batteries for it. When I saw the battery place inside the door it looked rusty and stemmed like it did not receive maintenance never! They left me the key and it also did not work well. I was afraid of the security of my valuables and I never left them inside the room. The beds are over cement base very uncomfortable that I was not even able to take a nap. I just could not sleep. Small tv though it worked. No drinking water, no body lotion, and the room space reminded me like those cheap social interest little house they hold in Mexico for the poor. Very small room or space in between beds, the walls and the poor furniture they have. The elevator was failing and had to be fixed by a maintenance guy before we could use it. The way entrance to the beach is a hall and though way through a restaurante Si señor, managed by a different company that you cannot use the beach seats on the beach because they move they move them out to set for dinning space invading the public beach. Will not stay there again at all, especially at the prices they charge and what they offer is over over priced. It is one & 1/2 star hotel at the most!

The room was really beat up. Couldn’t close doors without forcing them. Toilet wouldn’t flush without at least 2 attempts. lol not big poops. The WiFi was a joke. I just gave up on it. The staff was great, attentive and made the stay better. I wouldn’t stay here again without major improvements. Sorry to be harsh but there are better places to stay at the same price.

Room was clean. Bed was comfortable. The relationship with Si Senor restaurant needed to be improved. We got hassled for walking through, and for wanting to lay on the beach out in front of the tables to the water. We went elsewhere to lay out and enjoy a beer.

I will preface my review with *we would - and actually hope to - stay again*. The Pros for us win out. :) The Pros: Super helpful staff, spacious room, lovely rooftop terrace, great location, amazing views, fun walkable area with great cafes, bars, and restaurants, beach loungers provided to hotel guests (there aren’t many, so go early to get one). The Cons: The rooms are in need of a facelift - very dated. The room was generally clean, but the bathroom could use a deep cleaning for rust and residue buildup. The pillows were quite lumpy, and the linens were laundered but some were stained and dingy. The most disappointing thing for us was how uncomfortable the chairs on the balcony were. We had the most amazing view of the beach, pier, and ocean, but sitting for long in the provided chairs was out of the question. Replacing those chairs with comfortable ones would be a game changer.

Ok to be honest, the hotel is outdated and I don't trust the ads and pictures. Staff are great and the location is the best! We stayed at the Emperador Hotel and, based on that, we were allowed to use the private beach for free. The restaurant staff didn’t let us use the beach and demanded money, which we weren't supposed to pay because we were staying at the hotel. At the same time, they were letting people who were not staying at the hotel use the private beach and pay! They are all ripping off the customers. Terrible!

We have stayed at this place several times, it is always good. We learned this year that the pier plays pretty much non-stop music Christmas to New Years, not a fault of the hotel but it was pretty overwhelming. The hotel did supply ear plugs for sleeping.

We are usual customers for many years and very satisfied with the hotel and employees, time had changed and the only problem was chairs on the beach since Si Sinor restaurant want to charge 100 pesos per day. We complained to the hotel reception so they set up few chairs way in the back not in the front with sun otherwise I love Emperador very much.
