Villa Parguera Hotel

I have been staying here since I was a little girl. Not much have changed and that’s the problem. Pros: service- everyone is so nice and welcoming Views- even though you can’t get in the water, the views and sunsets are spectacular Pool- is very big and is easy to get in and out for people that may have a little of mobility issues. Restaurant- food and service are very good Cons: Rooms: are relatively small and very outdated. Mattress was the most uncomfortable I have slept. There is no mini fridge. Only one outlet in the entire room. The shower is very slippery, it should have a warning right there. There is no entertainment other than the pool.

I spent 4 days and 3 nights at the hotel with my family, which boasts an excellent standard of service and cleanliness. The facilities are stunning and meticulously maintained. Our room was spotless and incredibly comfortable. This has been one of the best vacations we have ever experienced.

The room was very clean and comfortable. Hotel grounds are kept beautiful. Reception personnel very helpful and friendly. One dissapointment was that the restaurant was not available on a continuos basis. Either closed, closed early and ran out of food and drink items. One morning we could not even get a cup of coffee. This is an area that really needs improvement. Same applied to pool bar.

Nice view and hotel was in an ideal location for the area. It is a basic room, but comfortable enough for the night!! Family friendly for sure. The view outside our front door was beautiful and the grounds were kept nicely and manicured. Would recommend.

I stayed at the Parador for 3 nights with my 12 yr old son. We both loved our stay there. Our room was an ocean view room. The pool was beautiful. The only down side was that the poolside bar was closed and the hotel's restaurant was closed for 2 out of the 3 days but we were able to walk down the road and have dinner at one of the bar & grill restaurants. The room and the hotel were clean and the staff was friendly and attentive.

DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY HERE UNLESS ALL YOU WANT IS A VIEW and a short walk to town, because that's about all you get. For such an expensive hotel, they have very few amenities - they advertise several, but read on..... The staff were less than accommodating, sitting behind their plexiglass staring at their computers, barely acknowledging our presence except to tell us no - there are no refrigerators, or no - there are no coffee pots, or no - there are no microwaves in any of the rooms. Oh, and NO, they cannot give quarters for the laundromat up the street, not even from the bar. Had to wear a wrist band like a 10 year old at an amusement park to WAIT to get buckets of ice, had to turn in tickets to get pool towels. The pool bar? WHAT POOL BAR? The bar was boarded up, the bar patio is covered in orange construction fencing blocking part of the view, and there was no music playing for the first two days. Absolutely NO vibe at all, just a pool with a couple chairs around it. The rooms were clean (thanks to the helpful housekeeping staff) and the landscaping is well done, but the place is LITERALLY falling apart. Holes in the decking, peeling paint, shabby exterior. The rooms are old and tired, the doors are very loud, with the aluminum shades banging every time and the door didn't close right so had to slam it. The little patios/deck outside the room are nice, but the AC units blow HOT AIR which makes sitting on the patio almost impossible in the PR afternoon heat. The best thing that could happen to this hotel is if it were bought out by the hotel across the street, Parguera Plaza. Now that's a hotel! Went there for dinner twice and were treated like royalty from the front desk staff, the wait staff and the bartender. We got a tour of THEIR rooms and they are BEAUTIFUL, several with a view overtop the dilapidated Parador Villa Parguera. I would NEVER stay at Parador Villa Parguera again and certainly wouldn't recommend it to any of my friends and family who visit PR often. It made me sick to see our final bill knowing that we DID NOT get our money's worth.

The place is old and tired and not very clean. There was dirt and dust in the corners of the room. Th floor was also dirty. The restaurant closed by the time we arrived at 6:00 pm. on a Monday. It was not open on Tuesday. There was absolutely no way to get a morning coffee or a drink at this place. I would not return.

Having stayed at this hotel on many previous occasions, I can’t say I would recommend it any longer. The room was full of mosquitoes. The bar and the restaurant were closed to two days that we were there forcing us to just walk across the street to a much better option, the Plaza Parguera hotel

OFF THE GRID Unplug your laptop and enjoy the tropical breeze at this oceanside motel in southwestern Puerto Rico. As we made our way around the island, we needed a single night stay on 1/3/19 and Nichole C found this place. Although I had my doubts (especially based on how it looks from the outside), it turned out to be sort of charming. Upon checking in, we were given a sealed plastic pouch with a TV remote control and our room key--an actual, honest to goodness metal KEY attached to a cute painted wooden turtle! The front desk even has those retro cubbies for mail and packages, something you never see these days. Our room was quaint, a far cry from the Hyatt Regency's and Embassy Suites of the world. The bathroom was small and the water pressure in the shower wasn't great, plus the ceiling tiles were pretty beat up. No bugs though (thank god). Don't bother asking for the Wi-Fi password.....there isn't one. In fact, there was no internet connection *at all* in our room, nor in the common areas. Parador Villa Parguera is located in Lajas, a fairly remote part of the island that will really test your phone's 4G LTE coverage. There was a pool, in addition to a courtyard area with a waterfall and some very nice landscaping. My girl joked that it'd be perfect for weddings, I told her "mmmmm, we could do better". PVP has their own restaurant and backs right up to the waterfront. The motel seemed to have some pretty strict rules regarding check out: they'll charge you $25 if you don't check out by 11am, and after 12pm the cost turns into an entire night's stay! Don't forget to return the remote control, or they'll ding you a separate $25 fee. * TL;DR * I would advise setting multiple wake-up alarms and NOT missing the 11am check-out time, otherwise you could be in for an unpleasant surprise. The beds are comfy enough and the motel is close to the downtown area. Pool seemed nice. If you can survive without hi-speed internet connections for a night or two, then I'd have no problem recommending Parador Villa Parguera.

This place is a motel. Terrible water pressure and small rooms. Staff is rude and the environment is loud and obnoxious. Definitely not good for kids. This place is for couples who want to go partying and get drunk enough to not care for a quality place to stay.

Of all places to stay in La Parguera, we chose Parador Villa Parguera. After we arrive from Washington, DC., and get checked in, the front desk tells us that the hotel restaurant and all of its bars are closed. Not one place in the hotel to get food or drink. This is not advertised anywhere on the hotels website. Not happy at all. Make sure you call ahead if you plan to stay here.

Bed bugs seen on sides of mattress. The sheets don't fit the cheap uncomfortable mattresses so they are exposed. No WiFi service. No deadbolt, small TV with no channels available except a TON of porn. No place to store our bags while room is cleaned. No call as promised regarding room readiness. No phone in room. No soap, 2 towels, no garbage can, bed sheets coming off the bed, restaurant disgusting and rude. This place is not for families. No blackout curtains, LOUD everywhere and you can hear it ALL. They have never upgraded anything on this property in over 30+ years. Still have a metal key to get in room. Only ONE outlet for entire room and it's on opposite wall of bed next to TV and TV is plugged into one of the 2. They mow the lawn at 7am with zero regard for guests. They make you wear these armbands like you're in a theme park and they harrass you constantly for them. Look at the other hotels nearby. Would not wish this experience on our worst enemy.

Ate at the restaurant and food quality varied. The fish ordered was terrible as it was poorly prepared and seasoned. Could not finish it and I love fish! Steak medallions prepared were okay but they did not use a high quality meat. Meat was tough and chewy. Service was good until a large group of students entered restaurant and then we were forgotten by the servers. Will not go back.

This is the second time I have stayed here, the fist time being 16 years ago. The hotel is well maintained and beautiful. The rooms are quite small, but they are clean and air conditioned. I wish checkin was a little earlier than 4pm. The shampoos and soap are yummy and smell like lemon grass. When I come to Lajas, I will stay here again.

A gem of a hotel on beautiful turquoise waters of the Caribbean. Impeccably kept pool and surrounding gardens; wonderful chef at the restaurant; and exceptionally kind owner and staff. Thank you for a great experience!

The view is great (if you get a bay view room), other than that, everything else is sub par. The walkways are a labyrinth. Poor room number directions and stairs to almost all their rooms (no elevators). Construction seems to have been in stages since the place is a mess mashed together. It was definitely not planned and constructed as a whole, so it seems like a construction on top of another in many cases. Cleanliness of rooms is needing improvement. You have hairs in shower, in toilet seat, sink, and even towels. Rooms has a lot of unfinished cosmetics and others needing care. The entire place is needing some refurbishing. I have stayed here at least once a year, and it gradually is degrading in service and maintenance. This is sadly our last stay here, hoping they can get it together and put some money into the place, needs lots of remodeling. It's rundown, and outdated.

Hotel stay for one night: $147. I think I paid less than that for a Marriott. I'll put my rents in bullet points for ease of reading: * There was four of us fighting for the plug desperate to charge our phones. * Awful internet since there was work being done on the promenade. * To use the awful Internet service you had to register on the log in page.(pro tip: you can't) * The shower was moldy and had a bigger crack than your average plumber. * The sheets were ripped. * Getting a room is like playing Russian roulette... Only the bullet is a balcony overlooking a roof an A/C unit. *The restaurant food selection was about as colorful as a grayscale photo. They had no Puerto Rican cuisine. * The restaurant service was pretty slow even with only four tables full and two service staff. * #no accessible beaches * This place needs a facelift in general. Please save yourself the money and drive back to where you stayed. Anywhere is better than this outdated "resort".

The Parador Parguera took our reservation the night before we arrived, and we were very relieved to have a bed lined up. It was easy to find, since Parguera isn't very big. I was surprised by the size and the overall feel of the hotel - it felt active and modern, and even classy. Our room was cute and clean, with a little patio out back and a path to the pool. Too bad we wouldn't be spending much time here. My only disappointment with the facilities was with our requested wake-up call. We needed to get up at 6:30 in order to pack and have breakfast before we went to the dive shop at 7:30. No phone call - I awoke at 7:15, and we proceeded to freak. Not a nice way to start the day. The front desk said the automated call system needed to be reset again. Okay, you do that. Our experiences here were limited to check in, check out, the aforementioned missing wake-up call, and sleeping. All of those were great except the wake-up call. Oh, and the TV worked! Yay!

In a nice area for walking around. The night life during summer weekends is great (food , music, boating on the bioluminescent bay). The hotel is cute and while it may be a little dated it was comfortable and affordable. Sitting on their mini-dock is really relaxing and you can spot all sorts of sea creatures. While it is not as fancy as the nearby Copamarina you will certainly get a good taste of local culture and food.

This place was honestly kind of a dump. I would not recommend staying here. They're currently doing construction which is LOUD and I had to drive 30 minutes to Combate to find a decent beach, there are none in town. When I checked in, the lady who checked me in was rude and her phone literally kept unplugging from the phone system. She was carrying on a personal conversation on her iPhone. The first room they assigned me smelled pretty terrible, probably mold. The next room they assigned me was better with an outdoor patio and did for the night but there was a drunk couple the floor above me arguing. Classy. There was nowhere to get lunch in "town", the hotel resto next door was out of business. Avoid this place and honestly Lajas in general for now, there just not much to see. Stay in Rincon or Combate instead!

the staff is rude the facilities are so outdated we didnt even bother going to restaurant definitely wont go back.

if you are in La Parguera, then you need to stay here. i was with 35 high school students - awesome students - and we had a blast. this hotel is right by the marina, some nice restaurants and cool bars. and the town is gorgeous.

We stopped in mid afternoon for a late lunch, and the food was nothing spectacular. It was slow in the restaurant (meaning we were one of two tables), but the service was slow. Same with the food. I've spent a lot of time on the island over the last few years, and had slow service, but not that slow. At least the quality of the food made up for it.

Stayed there about a month ago. The hotel is outdated and run down for the price. Very friendly and attentive staff. Quiet, charming but needs some work.

This place was awful--we arrived after a long day of traveling and when we got into the room to settle in, saw 3 cockroaches crawling on the wall, and some other insect we didn't recognize. The air conditioning unit was not working, and when we finally got it to work, had a leak. The sides of the air conditioning unit were also separated or had a gap from the wall. So we think this is how the insects got in. The bathroom was dirty and small. We tried to get online, and the wireless didn't work either. We called the front desk for these matters and they said they could not do anything about it. Do not stay here.

Be sure to talk to Carla and NOT Lissette, here is why my wife made reservations months in advance with a guarantee of a room with a ocean front view, when we got there the front desk clerk was Lissette. She gave us attitude from the beginning, she did not want to give us the room we schedule because we reserve it with a discount package and told us if we wanted the room we already had reserve in the first place it will be an additional 25 dollars a night, we said no and gave us a room with a view to a tree directly in front of our room, with black ants crawling everywhere. We were going to check out and leave ruining our vacation. Luckily Carla who made our reservation by phone month earlier remember my wife and the reservation. She quickly got us our original room and apologize for all the mistakes that Lissette made. Great place just be sure NOT to get Lissette to make your reservation
