Great location and service
We checked in on thanksgiving and stayed for one night. The hotel was very busy. The staff were super helpful with check in, recommending restaurants around and places to snorkel. The hotel restaurant Placita has nice thanksgiving dinner which we booked ahead of time. The location of the hotel is very nice since it is right across the meeting point of Taino bio bay kayak tour. It is also close to a few restaurants with vegetarian options. Right across the hotel there's a place for renting golf carts and snorkelling gear as well. The hotel room is comfortable but the AC is always very cold even though we turn up the temperature already. There's no TV in the room. Rooftop is very nice, with a bar and a hot tub there. The checkout time is at noon, they allow us to store our luggage there for a few hours there, and when we come back they let us use the shower and lent us beach towels without charge before we head to the airport. Probably the best hotel in Esperanza and the most convenient if you're going to bio bay.

30th Wedding Anniversary getaway.
This hotel was well situated and has an artsy modern design. The terrace is awesome and the layout is fun. The bed was small, but comfortable. The staff were friendly and engaging and it felt safe, secure and it was quiet . The restaurant is open from Thursday to Sunday and the food was great. Tours pick up across the hotel which is convenient.

No in-room service. We got a queen bed room. We had no idea how to book a king bed room. The room was extremely humid and small. Only highlight was the food on the first floor! Very tasty. I got the fish taco; super juicy and crispy. I also recommend the pork belly if you like the kind of pork in ramen.

We stayed here because we did the bioluminescent with Taino and they meet in the lobby here. Beds were very comfortable and restaurant dinner was AMAZING!. Bathrooms were small bit not a deal breaker. Would definitely stay here again. We stayed on Thursday.

Prices are too high. The property is more like a Parador/Motel than a Hotel.

The design of the hotel was really cool. The view from the roof was amazing. The food at the restaurant and the drinks at the rooftop bar were horrible and overpriced. Some of the staff were nice, but overall not very welcoming.

We stayed for one night before we checked into our villa for our wedding. It was good for the most part, except the elevator being out of order and them putting us on that floor where it didn’t work. Three nights later we came to visit some friends who were here for our wedding and staying at El Blok. The lady at the hostess stand threatened to kick our friend out of the hotel if we went up to her room and saw it briefly. She was incredibly rude to us and our friend, despite us being the reason 6 people stayed there for almost a week. After that treatment, we won’t be back. I’d recommend checking out any of the dozens of other options that are just as nice and will treat you with kindness and respect. Casa de Amistad is a better option. El Blok is not it.

Best hotel on the island. Keep in mind only the hotel rooms are air conditioned. They are strict with can’t check in any time before 4 and much be out not later than 12. Transportation is very limited on Sundays and Monday (not sure about other days because we were only there those 2 days). Bar, restaurant and rooftop service is also very limited. But Sunday Funday after 6 was extremely nice. Prefect for sunset, great music and really good strong drinks. They had elevator issues so we had to use the stairs a lot which was a huge inconvenience.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful rooftop bar w hot tub. It's location is prime to the beach, lots of food different food options, and transportation options. The restaurant in the hotel was also excellent. Was able to rent an atv and explore about 5 different beaches on the island, and make it to the Crab Rum distillery on just a half tank of gas.
