The service was terrible! - We did not feel welcome at all....and we stayed long...too long....The cleaning was terrible! - F.e. the mirror in the bath wasn´t cleaned once during our 14(!) day stay...The breakfast was terrible, no variety! - On most days we did not have butter for the toast nor cheese (the continental breakfast they offer is toast,... more

From having read the reviews I expected to see a nice, clean, quiet hotel near the beach. We were disappointed --unfortunately it appears this hotel does not provide consistent service. We arrived late in the evening - I had phoned ahead so they would know and had requested a bottle of champagne for our room as we were there to... more

Booked this through hotwire for ~$100 a night only to find better rates through the hotel's website. The room we got (two full beds + 1 extra bed) was in desperate need of renovation. there was a kitchen sink inside the room with an old spice rack and a spoon that looked like it was used. the TV was too... more

A friend and I were on a one night/two day shopping trip to Puerto Rico from a neighboring Island. We were on a tight budget and found Oceana's online summer special Run of the House room rate of $69. Some of the reviews made us nerous but we were pleasently surprised. As someone we met in the parking lot said... more

This is the perfect place to spend a nice quiet vacation, the staff and the owners are very friendly! It is not a big hotel but it is clean, has wireless internet connections; this place is a guest house with all the amenities of a hotel. Seconds from the beach which it is right around the corner, and close to... more

We just returned from a 5 day trip to Peurto Rico and stayed at the Oceana Hostal Playero. We arrived late due to an 8 hour delay and we were pleased to see a happy face! We were warmly welcomed by Edwin (who is wonderful), and the singing coqui frogs!! All of the staff in this hotel (B & B)... more

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
