We had a great stay at the Miriam Apartments, would definitely stay again, lovely spacious clean apartment, good sized balcony with the most amazing views!! Lovely small pool area with bar and we had no problems with the staff, we were having a laugh and joke with them! Cheap very good cocktails and they have Happy Hour!! You are on a hill as is most of Puerto Rico, and walking back up is ok if you are well and able, plenty of cheap taxis if you don't want too! The walk down to the seafront or commercial centre is less than 10 minutes. You do have soon noise from the centre at night but don't let it put you off, didn't bother my husband and I just use earplugs!! All in all a brilliant stay in fabulous Puerto Rico!

“Great budget hotel”

The apartments are a bit dated, but clean and great value for money. Beds are comfy and towels / linen good condition/quality. They are up at the top of a hill (coach transfers drop you appx 150 metres down) - in a mountainous region - which can be great for views down to the beach/harbour, and o… more

The apartments are a bit dated, but clean and great value for money. Beds are comfy and towels / linen good condition/quality. They are up at the top of a hill (coach transfers drop you appx 150 metres down) - in a mountainous region - which can be great for views down to the beach/harbour, and over the valley towards the central shopping centre, and to watch the sun set. But bring good comfy shoes for walking down (either via several sets of steps, or via winding roads)! Taxi back up - or be super fit (taxi from harbour/beach or shopping centre is around €4). Some rooms are blessed with private balconies and others have walk ways across them. Some up at the top (floors 5 & 6) have very slim balconies. We were fortunate to have no 303. Great views, large balcony of our own. Three sunloungers, table and three chairs and a drying rail on the wall. Perfect! The mini market has a few basics - and treats (ice cream) and a really decent Sauvignon Blanc (€4.50!). The bar offers food - really decent burgers, chips, breaded chicken and lots more. Served with fresh salad. Happy hours 12-1 and 4-6 means 2 for 1 on beers and cocktails (and this is all really good value!). Other guests we spoke to had breakfast and BBQ (twice a week) and said it was good, but we didn’t try these. Hilda and Juan run the place and are soo super busy working in reception/ bar/ shop, etc. Quiet but very pleasant people. The rooms were serviced every other day. Clean linen / towels each service too. Couldn’t fault the maid - we accidentally left our safe open one day when out and it was not touched. She cleaned to a great standard. Always friendly and appreciated the tips we left. The pool is small but adequate and was kept clean. Not too cold, after initially getting a shock getting in! The sunbathing area is around the pool and up a few steps by the bar on a patio. Views to sea are a real bonus. Negatives - not too many - the noise travels up the hill and you can hear traffic, loud music, construction, etc. I’m used to real peace at night and I found this hard. Ear plugs might help if you can wear them. Not many plug sockets. Rooms can get hot. Some of the roads on the way down to amenities were dirty and littered. Out / about nearby … Puerto de Mogán is beautiful and it’s nice to take the boat. We had a fab lunch and sangria overlooking the pretty houses and boats, and watched fish galore swimming in the harbour. Another day, we walked along the coastal path to Amadores (pretty beach) and enjoyed this. Great sea views, lizards in the wall triangles, crabs on the rocks, flowers etc. The Mogán Mall (shopping centre) is very swish and the light show/fountains (9pm Fri/Sat) and artwork there made a shopping evening very enjoyable. Best for drinks out - go to Tipsy Bee. Best food in Puerto Rico - definitely X Planet - fantastic food and great prices. Tips - watch out for the restaurant touts upstairs at Central Shopping Centre. They pester you badly, then try to upsell from whatever you ask for, oh and they will majorly up charge when they do succeed in this. And add on 7% tax - not mentioned on menus (which they apparently should) too. We paid €80 one eve for two very mediocre meals, one jug of rather poor sangria and one beer. We liked Miriam Apartments for the freedom of self catering, and doing what we wanted, when we wanted. It was a good base. Its small friendlier vibe suited us well. We chatted with lots of other holiday guests while there and everyone was friendly and happy to share their experiences with each other. Not the Ritz - but it served us very well! Thankyou Miriam Apartments and staff.

Just home from a 2 week stay in Miriam apartments and had a great time. Our room was located just above the pool with excellent views of the beach and surrounding areas. The pool bar has a happy hour every day from 12-1pm & 4-6pm and the food is tasty. Rooms were cleaned every 2 days. less than a 10 minute walk to the beach or commercial center but would recommend getting a taxi back to the apartments as the hills are quite steep and a taxi is only 3.85 euro. Pool area is quiet and no issues getting a sun lounger. Staff will remove towels if left on loungers before 10am or if people leave down towels and head off for the day (rightly so). Couple of minor negatives. Pool and pool bar closes quite early at 7.45 and the hotel could do with investing in more umbrellas, half of the umbrellas there were damaged or broken. Cleaning staff do a great job but could do with keeping the noise down in the mornings. Numerous mornings we were woken very early with the staff shouting/ talking really loudly at one another.

“Dangerous for young children.”

Do not stay at this hotel if you have young children, the balcony's are not safe as it would be easy for a child to climb and fall.

Do not stay at this hotel if you have young children, the balcony's are not safe as it would be easy for a child to climb and fall. The rooms were comfy and looked clean, however we found a few cocroaches . The man who served the food was rude and ignorant. All the balcony's have brown plastic completely blocking the beautiful view, so you could not enjoy the view unless you stood up. Not enough space around the pool for sunbeds, and an awful concrete terrace on the roof with broken beds. Pay a bit more, and stay somewhere else.
