We are usual customers for many years and very satisfied with the hotel and employees, time had changed and the only problem was chairs on the beach since Si Sinor restaurant want to charge 100 pesos per day. We complained to the hotel reception so they set up few chairs way in the back not in the front with sun otherwise I love Emperador very much.
Great area, did not like the limited space and time to lounge on the beach using hotel chairs. They remove chairs by 330 to prep for dinner tables. Very small area to relax and sunbathe. Suite was perfect for four girls. Very noisy area and walls must be thin due to being able to hear guests next door. Area is great and walkable to malecon and great bars, cafes and bars.

This is the 3rd or 4th time we have stayed in this hotel and we love it. The staff is always accommodating. The rooms are basic; but the beds are comfortable. Location can't be beat! I would highly recommend this hotel. The rooms facing the ocean are worth the extra $$.
Staff was very helpful. Location is great. Pretty view from my balcony. Room was very clean. Loved the 10% discount at Si Senor. Altogether it was a very nice experience.

This review is just for the staff who were quick to respond and very kind when I needed their help. I will update this once I have stayed at the property.
Pro: The staff and especially Gervascio was very accomadating, he got us a fan for our room and a microwave.
Very close to shows, able to walk.
Cons: Kitchenette room did not have microwave.
Fan did not work, limited kitchenware. ( no bowls to store food) etc. Small bathroom with limited shelves. All furniture was hard. We were there during the holidays so every night by the tree on the pier they played loud music with heavy back beat until 10 pm. even after xmas.
We had a wonderful view ,on one side we had beach access and on the other we had shopping access, Right out front we had a good Convient store ,2 pharmacy stores a nail and hair salon and restaurants and bars right on the next block and massage parlors.
The hotel is in the heart of the romantic zone, the room was comfortable and clean.
The staff was not super helpful, for example, we walk to the beach and they didn't tell us that we had to procure the towels from them so we had to go back.
They advertise that they have some lounge chais and umbrellas at the beach however, they belong to the restaurant on the beach and they only allocate literally six lounge chairs, which is clearly not enough for all the people staying in the hotel.
We had to pay the restaurant to rent the lounge chair, so don't get deceived, there are no beach amenities provided by the hotel.
We booked a double bed and thought everything was good until we arrived. This was a trip I was proposed on ana they only had a room with two single beds available.. we were fuming. The staff were not accommodating and one guy in particular was really hard to deal with. The room was tiny and honestly we could’ve gotten a better room in a hostel. They then said they had a room in two days. We agreed to switch after not being able to find a different hotel. There was a constant sewage smell in the room as well as cockroaches and bugs.. this was the worst hotel experience we’ve had and will not be booking here again.
