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

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.

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.

Extremely gorgeous property with hospitable staff. The restaurant at the hotel is phenomenal and we ate there almost every night of our stay. The rooms are a nice size and the beds were super comfortable. I think every room has a spectacular view of the ocean. Only issue we experienced was thermostat in room...its centrally controlled by the hotel and our room was a little on the warm side.
