Suite was great, pool was small but serene. Location was nice. I would critique their breakfast. The food was inedible (think crusty refried beans, hot dogs for breakfast). They ran out of coffee two mornings and bread another morning. I would not pay for the breakfast again.

Hotel suites Mar Elena was clean, well kept, and the service was excellent. They are still working on their breakfast options so the only thing I would say is that don’t expect too much for breakfast. It is very simple. This does reflect on the cost and if a reasonably priced hotel is what you need this is a great place to stay. It is very central. The grocery store is very close and the bus stop to get pretty much anywhere in PV. Very nice hotel.

Travelled with family
Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
We had a room on the bottom floor. There were two dead roaches in the room when we got there. We found a live roach under the bed. The hot water in the bathroom did not turn on at all. The TV had a double visioned screen. There were no towels at all in the room so I had to go to the front desk to get them. The room was so musty smelling that we had to go to the store and buy air freshener just to make it through the night. We asked for a room transfer but were told there were none. We slept with the light on all night to keep an eye out/to discourage roaches coming out. They do offer a continental breakfast but to get that you have to wear a blue wristband that says "Breakfast" all day/night to get the breakfast the next morning. Seems unnecessary. Perhaps the other rooms are better but steer clear of floor level rooms!

I arrived and my room wasn’t available so I stayed at smaller room with two single beds and the next day I was moved to the best king size bed with balcony. José ( manager) is a very nice guy always vey helpful. Thank you. This hotel is for someone who wants to stay in PV and enjoy the culture.. not a fancy place that’s makes your experience even more enjoyable.

Not recommended

The property looked cute at first, nice courtyard, decorations, white and blue colour scheme. However, we did not enjoy our stay there. The bathroom didn't have any shampoo, shower gel, towels or hairdryer, and the tap was leaking and making noise 24/7. There was no blanket on the bed either (even though it's winter time and the nights get a bit chilly), the pillows were extremely uncomfortable and gave me a neck pain. The single pane window let all the noise from the street in, so this, coupled with really bad pillows and no blanket, ensured that a restful sleep was out of question. The wifi was really patchy, coming on and off all the time, which was really annoying. They also wanted to take a security deposit in cash, which is a practice I haven't seen in years, if not a decade, and we do travel a lot. So, overall, we do not recommend this hotel.
