My stay at Oceana Hostal Playero was a mixed bag. While the staff was friendly and always willing to help, I found my room to be in dire need of renovation, and the overall maintenance left a lot to be desired. The location was great, being close to the popular beach, which I appreciated, but the poor facilities and service made it hard to fully enjoy my time there.

Rooms

5.0

The room I stayed in had two full beds and an extra bed, but it really needed a makeover. There was an old kitchen sink that felt out of place, and the TV was tiny without a remote (very inconvenient!). The air conditioning was a plus, though it directed cold air right at me while I slept.

Service

5.0

While the front desk staff were nice and accommodating, the overall service felt lacking. It was frustrating when issues arose, and I didn't feel like my concerns were taken seriously. Still, their willingness to lend beach chairs and call cabs was appreciated.

Location

8.0

I loved the location! It was just a stone's throw away from the beautiful Ocean Park beach, making it super convenient for beach days. Plus, I found it easy to get around to other local spots.

Dining

5.0

Breakfast was pretty basic, with some toast, jams, and fruit. I noticed inconsistency in the servings throughout my stay, which was a bit odd (some days I got more than others).

Facilities

5.0

Facilities were lacking overall. The bathroom had issues with cleanliness and maintenance, and the pool area was underwhelming without enough sun chairs. I expected more given the price range.

The facilities were lacking; the pool area was small and felt more decorative than functional. There was also limited wi-fi access, which was inconvenient.

I had a pretty mixed experience at Oceana Hostal Playero. The location is fantastic, just a block away from the beach with some great dining options nearby. However, my room was quite outdated and not very clean, which was disappointing. Fortunately, I enjoyed the amazing restaurant and the free breakfast was a pleasant surprise. Overall, it was a decent stay; I appreciated the ambiance but wished for better room conditions. 🌊🍽️

My stay at Oceana Hostal Playero started on a positive note with a warm welcome, but it quickly turned into a disappointing experience. The cozy decor initially appealed to me, yet the room was plagued with cleanliness issues and poor maintenance. The location near the beach is a plus, but the lack of proper service and unhygienic conditions overshadowed any potential enjoyment of the area.

Rooms

While the room had a quaint charm, the presence of mold and unclean sheets made it difficult to feel comfortable. The lack of basic amenities was frustrating, especially since the room wasn't cleaned properly during my stay.

Service

The service was inconsistent. I did appreciate the friendly staff, but their inability to maintain proper cleaning schedules for the rooms was a significant letdown.

The location is a highlight, being just one block from the beach, which made it easy to enjoy the sun and sea during the day.

I found the facilities lacking, with a neglected sunroof area that could have been a lovely spot if it were maintained. The overall ambiance was far from inviting.

I had a good experience at Oceana Hostal Playero, but there were some aspects that could use improvement. The location was great, close to the beach, but I noticed the furniture was a bit outdated. The staff was quite helpful, providing recommendations for local dining. Overall, it was a decent stay given the pricing.

The location was ideal, just a short walk to the beach. However, I did feel it was a bit away from the more popular areas of San Juan.

Dining

The on-site restaurant offered grilled meats, which were decent, but nothing to rave about. I tried a couple of local spots recommended by the staff that were better.

The facilities were basic but functional. I did enjoy the outdoor area, even though the pool was smaller.
