Great stay

This is my third time staying at El Emperador and it’s been great. The manager Gervacio and the staff are amazing. You’re literally 30 feet from the beach and walking distance from a ton of restaurants & bars. If you stay there get a junior suite or higher as those have excellent views and are more spacious.

Generally an excellent stay. Reception and cleaning staff were helpful, pleasant and warm. Hotel needs updates for sure, as it is an older hotel, but all the basics were good and working in our room. No complaints at all. Plan to return. Lovely view of ocean , palm trees and beach from our room.

Older building on the beach, very noisy at night from the street, no amenities, linens should be replaced as they are no longer white and are now full of stains. The view was great from our room but could not walk on patio since the restaurant downstairs cooks lots of fish and I could smell it when on the patio. The front desk folks were very nice.

The location is excellent. Staff friendly and helpful. Cleaning staff great. Many thanks to Gaby, who took wonderful care of our room. View from our oceanfront room fantastic; sound of the waves at night, after beach nightlife settles down, is soothing and just lovely. The ocean is warmer this time of year and was a welcome pleasure.

They gave me an upgrade to an ocean view studio. It was nice . And they also extended the check out time to 12 instead of 11, so that was nice. Staff at the reception was kind and gave excellent service. Alejandro, The guy who closes the front gate by the beach entrance was rude, but other then that, it was a good experience.

Location is hard to beat, but the building is a little dated. The Elevator seems to stop on the second floor every single time even though no one pushes the button. The bed is super comfortable. If you get a balcony with the ocean view, it’s amazing. The staff is very friendly at the restaurants great Maybe a nicer couch with the table inside and the outside table could be improved.

An average experience

The hotel is a marginal facility at best. I had hot water issues in my first room and then in the room I was moved to by the front desk. The elevator should be repaired because the stop at the desired floor was hard and bumpy. It was very annoying and unacceptable. Restaurant food was over priced and my waiter was very rude. However, the front desk was very customer oriented. In good conscience I can’t recommend this hotel.
