hotel name????

I am coming back there soon with a girlfriend and I can't remember what the hotel name is that I wanted to stay at. Hopefully some one there can figure out my very bad directions and give me the name? If memory serves me correctly, it's just off 5th avenue, directly on the beach, on a corner. I believe it has an open lobby and possibly a waterfall? The building is white (big surprise there! lol) I don't think its too far from the ferry terminal. I would appreciate any help. Thanks...Penny

We need more landmarks, is there anything else you remember? Could be Albatros, could be Alhambra, could be All Riviera Resort (although I don't recall a waterfall in any of these).

Hotel

Is there another hotle on the beach by the ****** other than the Costa del mar. This might be it. I can't really tell from the pictures I've found. Also I don't remember ever seeing a place called Porto Real. Was something torn down to build this?

Sounds like Hotel Alhambra on Calle8 at the beach. They have a rather spacious lobby/reception area with on ornate waterfall in the adjoining room.

Maybe Hotel Colibri

The Hotel Colibri is right next to the Costa Del Mar and it has a water feature in it's courtyard. But it's kinda tan color not white.

My first thought was Alhambra.

Before it was Hotel Alhambra, it was the Hotel Casa Blanca.

Hotel name

Thanks to everyone. I do believe that it is the Alhambra. Definately had too many Coronas when scouting for places! Now hopefully, they'll have a room for me! lol As it is snowing here today...can't wait to be back on the beach! Thanks again...Penny
