I LOVED MY STAY!!!! Although I had read a few negative reviews about the hotel I took a risk! I prayed that it wouldn't be as bad as some of these people said it was. I WAS SURPRISED!!! The place was wonderful! One reviewer had stated that it really depends on what you want from a hotel. I completely agree!.... more

The staff at this Hostal is incopetent and they provide the wrong information and proceed to back out on their word. Do not trust them, we booked a room for three and they would only give us a room with a queen bed and wanted to charge as an additional fee, even though we had called in advance to confirm... more

I had been a little skeptical because of some of the reviews saying there were bugs-- I didn't see any. I stayed at Oceana for a week with my boyfriend and had a wonderful time. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Although the hotel is not on the beach, it takes only a quick five minutes to walk there,... more

We just got back from a weekend trip to Puerto Rico. My wife and I stayed at the Oceana and were plesantly suprised as to what we found inside (the outside really does show much). We were greeted very nicely by the front desk host, Stewart, who was very courteous and easy-going. Inside was a beautiful courtyard with many native... more

Despite what a number of other reviews say below, we found this place to be fine, and would definitely stay here again. We (2 adults, and two 18 yr old girls) rented one of the “villas”, and found it perfect for us. It was very clean (with the one exception noted below) and there was plenty of elbow room for... more

We basically have three different types of guests: those that can afford to stay at the Ritz, but rather prefer the coziness, friendship and simplicity of our place; those that cannot afford to stay at the Ritz, accept it, stay with us and have a great time; and those that cannot afford to stay at the Ritz and book with...

I'm still trying to figure out how Hotwire could deal with a place like this. This was the single worst travel experience I've ever had. First of all this place is a Hostal not a hotel. The description said that the hotel I booked would be along the lines of a Holiday Inn Express, AmeriSuites, Country Inn & Suites, plus... more

My wife and I finished up our 10 day honeymoon trip to Puerto Rico here. We had stayed in Condado on the same street earlier in our trip and Oceana Hostal Playero was a great stay for us on our last day. My wife and I really loved the decor of the hotel and the fact that we were able... more

Stayed over the weekend of March 6 - 10 2008. We got a room with a terrace, number 24. The room was clean, there was plenty of water pressure in the shower. The bed wasn't all that comfy though. The location was pretty nice as the beach and restaurants aren't that far away. Their parking was valuable as well as... more
