We recently stayed at El Corazón Boutique Hotel and the staff and hotel are great!! The hotel and rooms are very clean and the bed and pillows are amazingly comfortable for hotel beds (probably the best I’ve slept in). The hotel rooftop breakfast is very good (especially the smoothie bowls) too.
Three issues to consider (mostly affected by rainy days/season):
The location is approximately 3 blocks from the beach, which is great… although during rainy season the streets flood badly and you really will want rain boots. I asked them to warn future tourists that basically the whole island floods with a day of rain and they said, “they’ll take that into consideration”.
The Mawimbi beach club is another 3 blocks equivalent from the beach front area you walk to. It is the nicest of the clubs, it’s just a little fat if you don’t love walking (we were fine with it as we love walks but I think it should be known), especially with the flooded streets.
The hotel lost water for a day (12 hours of daylight) and they kept saying it was an entire island problem, but it seemed to only be our hotel. I’m thankful the issue was fixed by 6pm or so.
Anyway, they truly are very nice and very helpful! I just wish there had been a bit more transparency. I would totally stay there again!
