A nice hotel just outside the more busy central part of the town and therefore a quiet place to stay. It is connected to a nice restaurant which is open until late, allowing to arrive late and still have a dinner.

We booked this place late when the only other option was $12k per night. We paid US$150 per night. The room had a double bed, a table and 2 chairs. The bathroom had a shower, 2 towels, one bath mat, 2 shampoos and 2 conditioners and one soap. That is the sum total of the rooms amenities. No heater, no hairdryer, wifi for a minute at a time. The walls are mud rendered polystyrene blocks and not remotely sound proof. You will hear every conversation your neighbours have. We did not get wifi in our room but could usually get access by walking around the hotel trying to log into separate sections of the wifi. In short, it’s truly ordinary and grossly overpriced. Breakfast was included and this was passable. It’s sweet cereal, akes and ham, rock hard bread, cheese and tomatoes. We also had dinner there and that was considerably better. Drinks and the happy hour are worth doing. Our friends had a similar experience but they had wifi and no hot water for three days. My advice. Book early. Go elsewhere.

The hotels in San Pedro are pretty pricey. This seemed a decent bargain. The staff were super friendly and helpful. I had a bit of a problem with the room the first night and they changed it right away the next morning to a very nice room. Breakfast is terrific. Facilities are under expansion which impacted the atmosphere a bit, but I would recommend this place. Location is ideal. Hot water was an issue a few times but that may have been because of a power outage.
