Beautiful and historic early 20th century inn located in the heart of Guanica Bay, in the Porta del Sol region of southwest Puerto Rico. Perfect getaway for couples/families looking for a relaxed time in the Caribbean or to use it as springboard to adventure as you discover all the natural and historic locations in Puerto Rico.

Excellent weekend at this stop. Good facilities, rich food and very friendly treatment. The facilities very clean. It's relaxing here. I definitely recommend it. There is a room prepared to receive disabled people, there are ramps and good access for them.

One of the cleanest pools I’ve ever seen! Tranquil grounds and beautiful views. Great for families. Awesome location to explore the South/Southwest region of Puerto Rico. Great service. They even shipped me something I had forgotten when I checked out. Heads up, when we stayed there in December 2021, the restaurant was only open on the weekends. This is a budget friendly hotel - bring your own beach towel and purchase coffee at the front desk. Will definitely stay again!

Our stay was a good and pleasant one. All staff from lobby to housekeeping were attentive and helpful.
I wish to recognize the excellent service at Las Palmas Restaurant by Luis Tortilla for his attention and the excellent variety and flavor of the food, also the attention received by the waiters Ronalys, Michael Cabrera and Carol, thanks again.
We will surely return because we loved the Resort.

The day of our arrival we received a phone call to ask where we were. The caller only spoke Spanish and I only speak English with very limited Spanish. So after she repeated my name several times and asked where we were she hung up. I was confused - was there a problem with the reservation? I don't know. When we arrived at Parador Guanica 1929 we were greeted by someone who didn't speak English. Let me say that this is not a problem. I am on your Island and Spanish is spoken. So there was again a communication problem. We completed the registration and was told where our room was. This is the worst lodging that we have ever stayed in. We opened the door to an overwhelming smell of chemicals and mold. The room was dirty and we were afraid to sleep in the bed. We asked if we could change rooms and I guess that there were no other rooms available although the parking lot was virtually empty. We left the door open to get some of the smell out of the room. The dining room was awful. I would not eat there. Especially if the room was any indication of what was to come. Nothing touched the floor in the room. We wore shoes the entire time and our luggage was up off the floor. We actually stayed outside by the pool until we couldn't stand it any more and went back up to the room. We were even provided with our own can of Raid. There were not enough electrical outlets and the A/C was so loud we couldn't sleep nor did we ever figure out how to use it. We also had to wear wrist bands and we were not allowed to take them off. The reason for this was? The windows are so thin that we heard noise from the road all night long. I don't know how they have gotten so many good reviews. From the negative reviews that I have read they are all accurate. The back side of the Parador is in shambles, dirty and unkempt. The "beach" is littered with garbage and debris. I realize that there were Hurricanes recently but this is a disaster. I also understand the owners explanation for the building being built in 1929 by the Americans.... However, there is such a thing as maintenance, cleanliness, customer service and treating your guests with respect.

During my visits to Guanica, Puerto Rico, I try to visit this eatery. I love their food however the wait is always extremely long. I am not sure why this is so as each time I visit, the eatery is not full and most times only two-three tables are occupied.
I believe more people would patronize this restaurant if the wait was not so long. The waiter on hand during our visits (different ones) are all friendly and courteous.

Refrigerator, microwave, tv, radio in room. Breakfast is not free as advertised. Quiet and quaint. Solid construction even in the latest earthquakes epicenter. Restaurant has good food, not very economic. Pool seemed nice, the staff is helpful, room was clean bit beware of slippery bathtub. Well located, view of bay. Close to town.

The building is beautifully maintained, very clean. Very quiet, woke to the sounds of birds. We slept well. Pool is lovely with zero depth entry. Sadly the restaurant was closed, not sure if its open at all, maybe just weekends? Maybe the property needs more business? Overlooks the Guanica bay. We had a king room, I think the rooms with two beds are larger. The room is simple as one expects in a PR parador. Staff very friendly.

I was surprise with this property. I just stayed for one night due to a test taken in the close by town of Yauco. First I choose the property for its price, but I was surprise how beautiful its the hotel with a lot of charm, good size swimming pool and nice view. The staff was very friendly.

You need a car but it’s maybe five minutes to a beautiful sandy beach. You can also take a ferry boat to Gillian Island which is mangroves and sandy beaches. GORGEOUS!!!!! Go early in the day with a cooler and stay. You will love it. Sometimes it’s a bit crowded but it’s easy to find a quiet spot.

The Hotel Parador 1929 Guanica is a real nice hotel. Nothing fancy, but a great facility with a great staff. The grounds and hotel are meticulously maintained.
They only have 27 rooms so I would think that you would have to make your reservations well in advance.
It depends where you are flying from, Ponce is the closest commercial airport but it is serviced by a handful of airlines. Public transportation is virtually non-existent in the area unless you are willing to pay big bucks. We always rent a car in PR...
There are more places to choose from in the Guanica area.
