La Puertecita Boutique Hotel

What a sweet spot! There were several pandemic-related modifications in place when we stayed at the hotel (the restaurant and pools were closed, for example) but that did not detract from its charm. The hotel is a rambling series of quaint buildings connected by charming, winding paths and secret corners. We were there for three nights and every day I stumbled across some new, delightful aspect of the property. The rooms are well-appointed and beautifully decorated. I stayed in a Deluxe room with a king bed and my bathroom was absolutely adorable, including a jacuzzi tub - perfect for soaking sore feet after a long day of sightseeing. Everything is immaculately cleaned. From what I could see, all the rooms had some sort of terrace or private access to the outdoors. There are so many sweet patio areas around the property that you will have no problem finding a quiet, scenic spot to relax outside. The staff are friendly and accommodating and everyone worked hard to connect with us in English. The location will work for some, but not for others: the hotel is perched on the side of hill outside the central zone, but this was a plus for us. The neighbourhood is quiet and our sleep was undisturbed by traffic or street noise. At the same time, everything we wanted to see was no more than a 15-minute walk away, making the hotel both convenient to and removed from the hubbub. Be prepared for a steep walk uphill from town to get back to the hotel. It's short but vertical! We would definitely recommend this hotel. Please support them.

This hotel is a bit of an uphill hike from the central area, but we thought it was worth it. Rooms in the old colonial buildings downtown tend to be dark, but our room was bright and sunny (see pic) which you will appreciate in winter months in SMA. It was also very quiet, whereas downtown you just can't avoid the music from all those wonderful rooftop bars. La Puertacita is quite large with a variety rooms from different eras, so if you aren't completely pleased with the first they show you, ask to see something different. Our room (Los Pinchones) was on the top floor above the reception, and we loved it. It had a large, bright bathroom with an enormous tub, in which we spent a romantic evening. Service was very good. It's an easy walk from there to the botanical garden (El Charco del Inginero).

We loved this hotel. The grounds are like a garden and it was wonderful to be away from the noise. For a $3 dollar cab ride we experienced all the festivities and quiet at the end of the day. Our rooms were great. Living and dining room with separate bedroom and bath. The hotel is older and so a few quirks. Good value and would stay again. Oh no ADA. Here. Many steps but if you are up for them it’s worth it.

Habitación muy bonita y grande con balcón muy acogedor con vista a una de las albercas y a los jardines; vegetación por todas partes y caídas de agua. Estacionamiento incluido. Un punto muy negativo es la falta de restaurante o al menos la venta de snacks y bebidas después de las 4 de la tarde, está retirado del centro y nada cerca dónde comprar algo. Recomendable si vas en coche y llevas tus víveres para, por ejemplo, disfrutar una tarde en la alberca

El lugar es muy bonito, los jardines, albercas, todo está muy bien. Le decoración y el cuidado de jardines es muy muy bueno. Muy tranquilo el lugar. Lamentable que después de las 4 de la tarde ya no hay restaurante ni lugar donde pedir un café, un refresco o una bebida, así de simple cierran y ya. Tampoco es bueno que los cuartos no tengan aire acondicionado. Sí lo recomiendo, pero indispensable por lo menos avisen eso del restaurante.
