Hotel Albemarle

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel and would recommend it with a few caveats. PROS: Location was ideal--right on the beach with great views and one block from the town center, which had numerous restaurants, tour offices, a small neighborhood grocery store, bike rentals, wetsuit and snorkel rentals, and a couple of t-shirt/souvenir shops. The hotel has air conditioning and ceiling fans. They had 4 water tank stations throughout the hotel with filtered water where we could refill our water bottles. The pool area is beautiful. The folks at the front desk (Gabby and Daniel) were friendly and helpful. Gabby told us the penguins usually swim in the morning around 9 or 10 in front of the hotel. Sure enough, we were able to get in the water the next morning and had penguins swim by! The beach in front of the hotel rarely had any people on it (end of December). CONS: The bathrooms have a small window at the top that is screen only (no glass), so you can hear everything outside. Every morning, the garbage truck came by playing music. If you are sensitive to noise and want to sleep in, this probably isn't your best pick. If you decide to stay here on Dec 31, know that the town really parties with LOUD music all night until 5:00AM. There were several wifi networks available, but they weren't reliable in our (2) rooms. We had to go to the lobby or the pool for decent connections for e-mail and Whatsapp. There were tiny ants in both of our rooms (not sure if that's a common thing on the Islands).

Magnificent experience to discover this wonderful place, the hotel is totally recommended, excellent attention and service, the breakfast was delicious and the room very comfortable. There are many activities to do both through tours and if you love walking. I would really do it again.

Sweet boutique hotel right on the white sandy beach- listen to the waves on the sea and feel the breezes thru the window, and the nicest friendliest staff and owner. Good breakfast!

This was a lovely place right on the beach. Gabrielle and Juan Francisco were so helpful. They made our trip a real pleasure. The room was big and we had a view of the ocean. We could walk anywhere we liked for meals. They helped us set up tours or get a taxi if we wanted to go beyond.

Really nice hotel right on the beach. Staff are super friendly and helpful. Large rooms. Nice pool. Includes breakfast which is always a plus. Complimentary tea/coffee/water available at all times. The staff go above and beyond and the location could not be better.

Lovely place, staff, location. We enjoyed our stay here. Room was comfortable, pool a nice area to relax, rooftop terrace had a great view. Near all the restaurants and tour shops. Beach was good. Staff responsive and helpful. Would stay here again.

Great hotel right at the beach with a wonderful garden and pool! Spacious room, delicious breakfast, friendly service, super quick laundry service! We are sorry that we missed the cocktails of Daniel! Roof terrace adds to the atmosphere!

The property and people were great. Their is a community soccer field adjoining the property on the side I stayed on and my room has an open screen window. Their were soccer games and music often in the mornings and one night until midnight, so it was noisy.

Wonderful hotel and staff. Very attentive to our every need and highly recommend.
