I only saw the staff upon check-in. He was very nice and was able to check me in early. The room was nice and I liked the location. The bed was a little hard, so if you have back issues, this may not be the choice. Overall, I would recommend a stay at El Rancho.

This is a charming property and centrally located on the island. The bed was very comfortable. There were a few annoying maintenance issues and the light outside the room stays on all night. This is great for safety but light shines into the room around the blinds and can be disruptive to sleep.
