We stayed here because we did the bioluminescent with Taino and they meet in the lobby here. Beds were very comfortable and restaurant dinner was AMAZING!. Bathrooms were small bit not a deal breaker. Would definitely stay here again. We stayed on Thursday.

The design of the hotel was really cool. The view from the roof was amazing. The food at the restaurant and the drinks at the rooftop bar were horrible and overpriced. Some of the staff were nice, but overall not very welcoming.

We stayed for one night before we checked into our villa for our wedding. It was good for the most part, except the elevator being out of order and them putting us on that floor where it didn’t work. Three nights later we came to visit some friends who were here for our wedding and staying at El Blok. The lady at the hostess stand threatened to kick our friend out of the hotel if we went up to her room and saw it briefly. She was incredibly rude to us and our friend, despite us being the reason 6 people stayed there for almost a week. After that treatment, we won’t be back. I’d recommend checking out any of the dozens of other options that are just as nice and will treat you with kindness and respect. Casa de Amistad is a better option. El Blok is not it.

Best hotel on the island. Keep in mind only the hotel rooms are air conditioned. They are strict with can’t check in any time before 4 and much be out not later than 12. Transportation is very limited on Sundays and Monday (not sure about other days because we were only there those 2 days). Bar, restaurant and rooftop service is also very limited. But Sunday Funday after 6 was extremely nice. Prefect for sunset, great music and really good strong drinks. They had elevator issues so we had to use the stairs a lot which was a huge inconvenience.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful rooftop bar w hot tub. It's location is prime to the beach, lots of food different food options, and transportation options. The restaurant in the hotel was also excellent. Was able to rent an atv and explore about 5 different beaches on the island, and make it to the Crab Rum distillery on just a half tank of gas.
