Muy buenos el parador y el servicio. Pero al no tener tanta experiencia por aquí, me hubiese encantado tener una vista al mar y desayuno opción de tenerlo incluido. Pero estuvo muy bueno y tuve la oportunidad de probar desayunos y comidas en la Parguera 👍
Friendly staff. Everything at walking distance. Best views. Recommended.
Staff and bar excellent. The restaurant aqua was excellent, very good food and service.
Yes 100 Percent
Deben adiestrar al personal para exceder las expectativas del visitante,
Clean room
The service is excellent, everything clean and spotless. The customer service excellent in all. Great place, going again this weekend.
Do NOT stay here on Mon to Thur. Restaurant and bar not open. Areal around town very minimal selections until the weekend. Big sign says "NO outside food or drink" but inside was no selections. Had to walk 1/2 mile for a cup of coffee.
El mejor lugar para quedarse en la parguera.

Amazing stay
I loved the stay.

Es nuestro parador oficial en La Parguera, voy desde pequeña y ahora llevo a mi familia. Lamentablemente en esta ocasión el servicio de comida en la piscina tardó demasiado para una simple picadera y la actitud de la empleada fue mala. Al siguiente queríamos almorzar en el restaurante y eran las 11:50am y como abrian a las 12pm no siquiera nos tomaron la orden. A las 12pm nos acercamos y nos indicaron que el chef no estaba y no había llegado por lo que no sabían cuando podían atendernos. Ambas situaciones son totalmente prevenibles sobretodo cuando hablamos de servicio de comida en un parador. Espero que mejoren ya que es importante mantener el buen servicio para retener a su clientela.
En el restaurante, si estan cortos de personal decirle al que esta haciendo los platos que no los haga por mesa. Que tire todos los aperitivos primero. Y luego que se concentre en las mesas ya que cuando le traen todo aperitivos y comida no es bueno. Y asi la espera no se hace tan larga. Pueden añadir en desayuno un buffet y quizas cobrar $20 por persona.
Beautiful place with an excellent location and friendly staff.
Nice area, had a lot of dining options. Definitely will return.
Loved how close we were to the water. We looked foward to stepping out the back door to see the beautiful view every morning. The staff was very friendly and helpful in every way, especially the security staff. This parador was at walking distance to cute, small shopping stores, restaurants, bars, bakery, laundromat, food market and tours offered to the bioluminescent bay. I definitely recommend this parador.
It’s always amazing to stay there. I really love the place. The service is amazing. The restaurant is delicious and the waitress Cindy is spectacular. She’s extremely attentive and pleasing to your needs. Can’t wait to visit again 🌹❤️🙏
NADA ME GUSTO ES UN LUGAR EN TOTAL ABANDONO
Excellent place with a nice pool. Good parking and security in the facilities. Very nice personnel and very respectful.
Todo súper
.
. It was old. The shower wasmkaing a loud screaching sound and the beds and pillows werent comfortable. The grounds are nice but thenroom did not justify the cost.
Not good. 1. Parking in the property is not guaranteed. Once it is full they do not stay with the key. 2. The service in the restaurant is extremely bad. The coffee is horrible and once the self-service coffee station runs out, it takes forever to refill it. It took around 45 minutes for my server to realize that our order was forgotten by the kitchen. Only after we let her know. Needless to say, we cancelled it. 3. Rooms are pretty old without trashcans in the living are. Only in the bathrooms. 4. The condition of the general areas are all right but it they obviously do not know what a a gem they have, They definitively need full renovations and new management. The hotel in front (too bad is for adults-only) is awesome. Restaurant, common areas, and pools are extremely nice!
Excellent recomendable
Was a good stay
Cockroach,ants and old bed band bath features
Personal amable y lugar muy bonito
Is ok but the rooms need a makeover especially the beds
Very pleased with everything
Todo bien
Loved housekeeping services, even though rooms have no refrigerator
The people that work there are very friendly! The beds and pillows are comfortable! The hotel is older and out dated. The rooms are very plain, no microwave and no coffee maker, only one small trash can in the bathroom. The steps to go up the second floor are rotting a little. The restaurant and pool bar are limited hours. Hotel was not busy Sunday to Wednesday. Got very full Thursday to Saturday. Close to a bunch of bars, restaurants and some stores.
Property needs a remodel really vad
The beds are too small to fit 2 people
Very good hotel good pool and good service at the bar!!!
Friendly staff, great rooms and patio area.
Very few toiletteries in bathroom. No blower. Staff was pleasant and cordial.View is exceptional. Price is fair. Rooms were clean.
Nice property and landscape. Wish it was easier to extend the stay another day.
Nice view. Walkable
The perfect place ... the room, the beautiful gardens, the ocean view and the wonderful staff...it's home away from home...
Overall the Parador was lovely!
very comfortable site
Need acces for quicks boats pick up at the hotel pier, all employees are very nice.
Yo y mi esposa pasamos Buen tiempo y la Gente Vien amable
Quality, service, exceptional
Location
Beautiful views. Property was old but maintained well. Beds were comfortable. Only downside was the noise from establishment across the street. Music went on late. Views were great.
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.
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.
Marielle was great at the front desk. So informative, friendly and kind. Room was clean. Pool area clean. Pina colada served in pool bar were so good.
Loved the location in this cute town, next to live music and several restaurants. Nice pool area with beautiful ocean view.
It was a good experience overall. Facilities need attention in order to make everything looks better. Rooms need upgrades on air conditioners equipment and bigger TV’s. Staff was great.
Poor customer service.
El hotel no está bien cuidado muy sucio las camas súper incómodas para el valor
We are definitely going back to this little Caribbean jewel.
Due un placer total. El dormitorio tan buena, la piscina excelente! Todos fueron Mui hamable! Vuelvo pronto!
Close to everything
Los cuartos necesitan mantenimiento en especial el baño .. entro un escorpión a la habitación limpiaron la misma no recogieron el mismo del piso a pesar que lo había notificado al counter son detalles que deben de mejorar para seguir apoyando la hospedería
I liked that it had the beach front view and a pool
The hotel needs a badly needed renovation. The restaurant looks like it was from the 70's, they serve juices and refreshments in plastic cups, the lobby looks old, there is a kiddie area with old equipment which is an eye sore for those of us who do not have kids, the staff was not accomodating, the woman in the front desk took a long time to check people in, the lobby looks dull and not inviting. In general, I did not enjoy my stay. i booked it for the location, but clearly will not return unless they do a renovation of the place.
Overall, great option to stay in La Parguera.
Excellent!
The staff was very friendly and helpful and they seemed great in our interactions with them. That being said, there were a number of things that didn't meet expectations. There was something odd about the keys, because someone else with keys for their room was able to open our room by mistake - that was surprising!! The onsite restaurant wasn't open at the times that they were advertised to be. The walls between rooms don't muffle voices or sounds very much at all- doubt there is any insulation/soundproofing in the frame walls. The air conditioner was so noisy we had to wear earplugs to sleep. There aren't any real tables to set things on, and were no suitcase stands, so we had to use the top of a tall dresser and bring chairs in from the balcony to set our luggage on - that was awkward. The listing states they have blackout curtains. That is true - the curtains are the right material. But the curtains are mounted in such a way that light just streams into the room. Seriously. I had no problem reading a book in bed with the curtains shut tight and no lights on. The landscaping looked well tended, but the buildings and structures have unrepaired things and a fair amount of deferred maintenance. Overall, though we liked our stay in La Parguera, we wouldn't stay at this facility again.
Excellent
Great view and near town. Relaxing.
Es muy bonito y clasico, por eso voy siempre
Good
Establecimiento excelente , buena localización. Pero necesitan mejorar los horarios del establecimiento en cuanto a la barra de piscina y restaurante ya que en las habitaciones no tiene Nevera ni microhondaa..En una ocasión fui a buscar hielo y el personal que están esa noche no me lo quiso buscar que según está cerrada la cosina cuando esto debe estar accesible al cliente..volví cuando cambió el turno y la persona me lo dio en esta ocasión. Entiendo que deben de contratar más personal en el área de la barra. En cuanto al restarant hay una señora que al parecer no tiene tacto para bregar con el público , le hice un pregunta y me contestó enfogonada cuando se le preguntó si había un personal en la barra ya que queríamos consumir . Entiendo que el hotel fuera excelente si mejoraran estos detalles . Pero la pasé bien .
Deberian remodelar las habitaciones se ven muy anticuadas, sus condiciones estan exelentes pero siento q deberian actualizarlas, lo digo por el hecho de que hay otros paradores y hoteles q estan practicamente al mismo precio y estan bien modernos, lo que ayuda mucho a villa parguera es que su ubicacion esta perfecta y que el servicio de los empleados y su limpieza son excelentes.
good
Bad experience. Property management is completely arrogant and non caring. Construction on property grounds and noone even mentioned it or offered apologies. We checked out 4 days early, never received any reimbursement for unused night

I LIKE A BEAUTIFUL PROPERTY
The beds has insects, no refrigerators,
Service was pretty bad the restaurant staff was rude and not helpful whatsoever,other than that everything else was pretty good.
MUY BUENO COMIDAS BUENAS
Love it!
Hola! Quiero agradecer al personal del hotel por Excelente trato y servicio. La comida estaba deliciosa extremadamente rica. MI FAMILIA ESTÁ FELIZ! Gracias
Matress viejos, se sentia los spring. No jabon, nada. Rest cerrado...pero y la barra de la piscina porque cerrada? Lo positivo: tenian planta para resolver el apagon.
Solo necesita un microondas y refrigerador. Todo excelente
Love the Native Decor.!!!
We love this property, close to town, stores and boat. Quiet , clean, comfortable beds and of course a beautiful view of the Caribbean sea. Good food at the restaurant too!
Everything close by. Upstairs guest very noisy.
Really nice surroundings and staff. Would’ve liked to know that the restaurant is only open from Thursday to Monday.
Awesome stay. Great location.
Beautiful Gardens and nice pool. They have many Rules and some kind of towell trade in system. Such a hassle we just used our beach towels. There is no beach here. The beds are like Card Board. We took a Water Taxi to the Cays. Isla Meta La Gata is Closed
Todo esta hermoso.
Excelente todo y la ubicación accesible
Great location right in the middle of La Parguera
This property was update the room o may be still working . But the room do not has a coffee maker refrigerator no fire alarm no phone no microwave. The second floor the step is in wood very old . The lady a was talking to her to changed to another room and was worse.
The property is right on the water and the views are very nice. The grounds are well kept and provide ample places to walk, sit or view the water, boats and mangroves. It is also very close to the restaurants, bars, grocery store and gas station. The room itself was basic but comfortable. I would stay here again and recommend it to others.
Nuestra estadia fue increible, volveremos pronto.
Is ok
Staff is amazing!! Excellent service!! Short walk to La Parguera Plaza, great views, great restaurant. Nice pool (not for small kids).
It was amazing..
Excellent location in a quiet and convenient place to rest
Great place to stay with view of the water. Excellent location nearby small shops, dining and access to the tour boats. Our bathroom shower was a bit dirty with stuff hanging from the ceiling grid and shower faucet handles were hard to use. Outside green space with chairs and plenty of star watching, made up for it. Great place for a one or two night stay. They only have food Thursday through Monday, so you’ll need to go out to eat but plenty of options. I’d go back for sure.
