Excellent

The room was exactly what was pictured and booked, so that was perfect. There is really no extras (water, coffee) except shampoo and soap. Bathroom could use fan but everything worked, nice shower had hot water. The beach situation leaves a lot to be desired, the restaurant downstairs provides the lounges (have like 10) and they kick you off at 3:30 everyday. You can move to a restaurant table if your going to eat or drink but beware drinks are about double the price compared to other places. I'd stay again if it was just my husband and I in a pinch. Staff is great.

Disliked: Staff & service
While my daughter was showering, someone entered her room through a window. When she opened the door she saw a man standing by the window with his hands underneath a black jacket. He had rummaged through her bag and had placed items on the bed. He was startled and ran out the room. We contacted the reception desk and they didn't even bother to come to the room. I had to go downstairs and question the receptionist, who was by himself. He would not allow us to look at the cameras until the next day when his manager would be in. We called the police and they came over, but they said since no one was in the room they couldn't do anything about it. My daughter didn't want to stay at this hotel, therefore, we had to scramble to find another place. I requested a refund the reception said they could not since we booked through expedia.
The hotel has reopened the jacuzzi on the roof which is a nice feature for cooling off in the afternoon. I wish they didn’t make you wear a wristband. We never eat or drink at Si Senior I think it is way overpriced.The staff at the Emperador are wonderful. Thank you for a great stay.
Simple and beautiful place with very friendly staff, location is unbeatable and the balcony is as pictured.

End up in basement
We could not get our assigned room as the key wouldn’t open the door and they couldn’t fix it, therefore they put us in the basement behind tree. It was called an upgrade by the hotel as it had 2 beds. We did t need 2 beds.
A rather old hotel which has not been modernized but still has the basics right. Perfect location next to the pier and lots of good restaurants. Very good staff and the sand is cleaned up every day. The air conditioning is loud but the neighborhood is quiet. The pool is barely large enough for 2 people and it was added for publicity. Its worthless. But all in all, its a solid choice.
We love El Emperador. It’s simple but super well kept. And the staff is the best. Add to that the location, right on the beach and easy walking to many great restaurants. It’s great
Great location! Right on the beach and close to restaurants and shopping and activities. Enjoyed my stay here ! I stayed in the ocean front (Standard Suite Ocean View) room. The view was excellent and the room was spacious. Nice balcony area also.
My room was perfect for 1 person and it was clean. I had breakfast at a table in the sand every morning. I even watched a whale flap its tail from my table one day. The hotel is convenient to everything in PV. The staff from the front desk and to housekeepers were extremely helpful and nice. I highly recommend staying here!!
