This was such a cute boutique motel in a great area and staff was very friendly and kind. Everything was clearly clean and remodeled with love. Only downside was the tiny space heater that took a while to heat up the space at night, but eventually it would kick in.

This property was adorable. From the outside to the inside it was very thought through. Parking can be difficult though and our room was tiny. Everything else was fantastic. Will visit again.

Definitely stay here!
El Rancho was a pleasant surprise! Cheapest hotel on the island but did not disappoint by any means. Extremely clean, super cute room and property was beautifully decorated! We loved the front communal patio. I was nervous to book but so glad I did and will 100% always come back to el rancho. The day of check in we received a text 4 hours early from owner that we are able to do early check in. The process was super simple!! Parking was a breeze as well. Super kind people although we did not meet face to face, owners are very accommodating.
Beach towels for occupants use! Bed was very comfy
Perfect space to relax! We loved the fridge and appreciated the closet space.
Bathroom was extremely clean! I actually took 2 baths!

We had a hard time checking in. No one was at the office. We finally got ahold of an employee and they said I should have received a text with check in I formation. We never received it.

Not really a motel since there is very little parking. Motel advertises that it offers housekeeping but one day the bed wasn’t made even though it was evident that housekeepers had been in the room.

Great place to stay
El Rancho was great, I've already recommended it to others less than a week after returning. Very clean, comfortable bed, easy check in and check out. 15 minute easy walk to Hotel Del. The only improvement would be if there were a mirror of some kind outside of the bathroom, so that two people could get ready at the same time.
