"Nicely located, convenient with underground parking. The breakfast buffet was a nice and complementary pastries and water bottle in the room. Inside of hotel and room, it was a bit outdated, but still comfortable for 2 nights. Awesome shower pressure! Nice view on Pico Island from their terrace. Overall, I’d go back."

"The location is fantastic, right on the oceanfront and a perfect base for exploring the island. The property is spotless, well-maintained, and has a wonderful atmosphere. There’s a shared kitchen with large, dedicated storage cabinets for each room, and it's fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. The service was impeccable—Paula and Diana were always accessible, welcoming, and spoke excellent English. They went above and beyond to provide everything we needed with genuine generosity. Highly recommended!"

The Book Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Every single staff member was warm and welcoming. The hotel is well-maintained and the room was very clean. The Japanese toilet in the room was a nice amenity, and toiletries were also available on the bathroom counter. The bed was comfortable and I like the different lighting options you can use. The pool was my favorite feature of the hotel. It's on the roof where you can also access the spa. The pool and hot tub are connected so you can easily switch from one to the other. It's a small, shallow pool, so there is no diving and not much room to swim - all you can pretty much do is just float in the pool, which is really all you need. The hotel is a block away from a park/garden and a couple of blocks away from the marina. Everything is walkable. The front desk staff were very helpful. They gave me great suggestions for restaurants, shopping, and even helped me reserve a taxi tour of the island. I will definitely be staying here again."
