Overall--really nice and great value and breakfast.

Very nice in all respects, excellent value and great breakfast wth good coffee, really nice rooms and friendly staff. I liked the pool a lot but if a rooftop pool or swimming laps is your thing, this pool is just okay. It only gets sun mid day and it is too small .

We are delighted to hear that you found excellent value in your stay and enjoyed our breakfast along with the quality of our coffee.

A niche stay!

Beautiful boutique hotel with very personable and approachable staff. Rooms differ in size/layout, but I was happy with mine (even though it might have smelled a little musty at first!). Also very conveniently located, next to two grocery stores and close to many restaurants and stores.

We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay at our boutique hotel and appreciated the personable and approachable nature of our staff.

Good but…

The hotel is very clean and very well located in Bocagrande—close to two malls, the beach, a gym, and two 24-hour supermarkets. The room was clean, breakfast was buffet-style, the facilities were in perfect condition, and the staff was friendly. However, for a hotel in this price range, not having a water dispenser or access to water for guests is very disappointing. I needed to take a pill, had very little water left in my bottle, and at the front desk they told me I had to go out and buy water because they didn’t have any available. I found it unbelievable that they couldn’t help me with even a glass of water. Gestor de Experiencia, Guest Services / Front Office at Hotel Barlovento, responded to this review Dear Isabel Z, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are pleased to hear that you found our location convenient and appreciated the cleanliness of our facilities, as well as the friendliness of our staff. Your feedback regarding the availability of water for our guests is invaluable, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you experienced during your stay. We strive to provide the best possible service, and your comments will be taken into consideration as we work to enhance our guest experience. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future and provide you with an even better stay.

Great place to stay

The pool area was smaller than I expected. There was not many lounge chairs or places to sit by the pool. The service was good and staff was friendly, and the hotel and room was clean. The area was very good too with many places within walking distance.
