I rarely write one-star reviews. As a younger traveler, my standards are not as refined, I suppose. Given that, I would never stay at Cielo Mar again. Granted, this was a last minute business trip to Aguadilla, and there are no 'American' hotels in the area. That said, this one is miserable. First off, you plug in its address to any GPS device, and it directs you to the middle of a residential area not near the hotel. After searching 30 minutes for the hotel, my fellow traveler and I check in to find that they give you the TV remote when you check in. Never a good sign. You enter the room, and my first thought was 1950s New Jersey Shore with no updates or cleaning since that time. Thankfully, no critters, but rust everywhere. Never seen more of it in my life. The Internet was not working (not a huge surprise I suppose), and I really did not want to get into the bed without a full body covering. The air conditioning only semi-worked. Breakfast on our second morning started 30 minutes later, so we could not get any before leaving for our business meeting. All in all, a bad hotel that I would never return to. Try Villa Montana instead - equally as difficult to find, but the restaurant was fabulous and the ocean view amazing.
