We had a "junior suite" with king bed on the 2nd floor (note that the "1st floor" in Mexico is the second story of the building, unlike in the US). GOOD: The spacious room had a beautiful ocean view from the balcony. The A/C worked reasonably well. Water pressure in the shower was good. There is a refrigerator in the... More

Conveniently located oceanfront, walking distance to all restaurants, bars and the Malecon. Clean rooms, housekeeping daily, pleasant front desk staff, very accomodating. Book online, there is no better value (depending of course what season) when you book. Have booked as low as $50 per night. Stay frequently.

Large, clean rooms, an ideal location and a friendly staff but I think it's unacceptable when paying over $125/night for a standard suite for them to "run out" of blankets so there is only a thin sheet on the bed. It is also a bit odd to upgrade to a room with a kitchenette only to have to request how... More

We just stayed 5 nights at Emperador. The first night we were in #306 ocean view standard suite. the room was nice enough, but a huge palm blocks the view of the bay, beach, etc. The second day we moved to #302 ocean view junior suite. This has to be the best in the building. Nothing fancy at all, but... More

Stayed here for one week. The first two nights, I was in room 403. The air conditioning did not work properly, the furnishings were dated and in need of replacement, the sewer gases came through the bathroom sink (had to leave the stopper in all the time), there was a strong mildew smell in the room, the bathroom door was...

The property was very clean, and the front desk was extremely friendly. On two separate occasions, two different front desk individuals went out of their way to help (both at check in and after check out). The beds are firm (which is what I prefer); and our bath was remodeled recently with ample hot water and pressure. I read many... More

This property is right on the beach and it's clean. Beyond that it doesn't have much going for it. The room was very basically furnished. It had beds but no chairs. Way too much money for what we got, which was an ocean view, and that was all. Not even a coffee pot in the "kitchenette".

I booked a 7 night stay in this "hotel" 3 months ahead and requested a higher floor ocean facing room (which I paid for). When we checked in a couple of weeks ago after a long day travelling, they informed us that the only room they had available for us was on main floor. Reluctantly we agreed and later regretted....
