What's it REALY Like at the Alhambra Hotel

Hi Everyone! Going back to PDC for the third year in a row (April 22 - April 30)! Love it there. I usually stay at the Blue Parrot, in the Villa on the beach. But that I split between others. This time it's going to be me and my honey, alone! Finally!

I am trying to read up on other beachfront hotels to stay at. Alhambra seemed to have good reviews. Not looking at spending loads of money.

Do you have any other suggestions? El Faro? Anything else?

Your comments are appreciated!

I've walked through the lobby of Alahambra and it looked nice, but I've never seen a room. Toured rooms at El Faro, and they were nice, but it's a bit pricey. Same goes for the restaurant. I've cheked out alot of hotels on the beach, from one end of the $$$ spectrum to the other, and my fave is Playa Maya.

I've stayed at the Alhambra and loved it. From what I've seen of El Faro, it's much too pricey for what you get.

The beachfront room on the 3rd floor at Hotel Alhambra is an absolute gem...

JIMMY MN - Hey thanks for the pic

How did you find the service? Looks like a nice enough room. I tend not to spend a whole lot of time indoors anyway! Again, thank you!
