Unique issue was that you have to have a swimming cap to swim in the 2 pools. You must pay 4 euros to rent a cap, so bring your own! The staff was pretty great. Also, everything is clean and centralized located. Breakfast was so good.

The staff are excellent, the location provides beautiful views, and the breakfast is perfect to start the day. In addition, the rooms are a good size (similar to US hotels), clean, and well appointed. I look forward to staying at The Lince Nordeste again in the future and will recommend this hotel to all of family and friends who are traveling to Nordeste.

Everything was excellent. The ocean views are wonderful and the restaurant is extremely pleasant. The only thing to be aware of is that it is located on the other side of the island from the airport, although it is an easy drive.

The Lince Nordeste was a beautiful property. It was kind of out so if you are looking to be near more things, this wouldn't be the place for you. The town was kind of dead at night but the hotel was clean and they offered a very nice breakfast

Favorite place we stayed on our trip and probably one of our favorite places of all time! The staff were very friendly and accommodating, and helped answer all questions we had. Our hotel room was so comfortable. Entire facility kept clean. We loved the pool area and spa services. And the food offered in their restaurant/dining area was always delicious.

This is a property with nice views of the town and ocean. We enjoyed eating in the restaurant overlooking the coast. The indoor heated pool is fairly small but nice and the sauna was relaxing with a glass wall with scenic views to the ocean. The steam room smelled bad unfortunately so we didn’t use it. If you have a swim cap bring it as you cannot use the pools without on but they will sell you one for a nominal fee.

Great views! Staff were friendly, food was delicious. We missed lunch by 30 minutes but had bar food available. Amenities included an outdoor unheated pool, an indoor heated pool, sauna, steam room, and gym. Clean comfortable rooms. Bathroom was a little dated. Plenty of parking (other than we arrived during an event so lot was full). A solid, 4 star hotel! Would recommend if you are staying overnight in Nordeste.
