Reviews of Bravo Beach Hotel 3 stars

Our suite was gorgeous. The views from the villa were spectacular. Our unit with kitchen and high ceilings was spacious and very relaxing. Really appreciated the landscaping - there’s a tropical tree or plant placed everywhere in line of sight. Sunsets at the pool are beautiful.

Not that we can think of.

Love it , close to the plaza , ferry and super clean.

Our room had a gorgeous sea view and a balcony. It was airy and ample and outside there were many well kept plants and flowers. The beds were so comfortable and everything was clean. The kitchen was well equipped and the bathrooms were comfortable and had a great A/C. But most outstanding was Dina the front desk person. She felt like a good neighbor, she was personable, honest, and so helpful! My son left his wallet and we were called letting us know. He had left it there. Everything was intact in his wallet. We had a very memorable time there and would definitely go back.

There were a few corks, the room had some doors that either wouldn’t close or would make a sound closing. The microwave hangs from cables and it moves a little when you open it.

Clean room, good view. Having beach chairs and coolers available was nice.

We booked for two adults and one child (14). Upon arrival we were told all the rooms had one bed and there were no extra beds or cots available at all on the property. The staff member that met us blamed it on an issue with booking.com that allowed it to happen. He moved us to a king room instead of a queen room and we made it work. But it seems like if it’s a known issue why was it allowed to happen? He suggested that I must have selected two adults and an infant when I booked which is completely false. We made it work but i obviously would not have booked had I known there was only one bed. Also the place has beach in the name, and offers beach chairs and coolers which is nice, but doesn’t mention anywhere that the beach the hotel is on is totally impossible to sit at due to seaweed and impossible to swim in due to coral reef. Again, we made it work and found some beautiful beaches but knowing up front would have been better. We arrived on the ferry and walked the short distance to the hotel, only to find the office closed at 7:00, it was 7:10. This doesn’t make much sense since there’s the 6:30-7 ferry we arrived on as well as one that arrives at 8pm. We called the number on the sign at the office, spoke to Brian, and he pulled up in about 5 minutes. He smelled strongly of alcohol and was extremely negative about the above described bed situation, the beach situation, as well as on island transportation and pretty much everything else. I can’t imagine what would have happened if we arrived at 8, another hour of drinking time for Brian. He said the taxis aren’t trustworthy, the golf carts are a bad idea, and to rent a car. We had great experience with the taxis and ended up renting a golf cart which was by far better than having a car. Because he switched us to the king room, the ac was not on yet and it was 95 degrees in the room per the thermostat. It took about a full day to get the temp down below 80.

Beautiful small hotel. Room was very clean.Very nice ocean view. Staff was great. 6 minute walk from ferry .

Far from the nice beaches, you need to rent a car.

Host was amazing they had chairs and coolers to borrow pool was very clean

Bravo Beach Hotel has an excellent location—close to everything you need. The rooms are very clean and comfortable, and the overall atmosphere is relaxing and welcoming. We were assisted by Mr. Luis, who was incredibly kind and attentive throughout our stay. It’s an excellent place to stay, and we 100% recommend it!

We loved everything about this property! It was clean and had such a sweet island vibe. The grounds are lush and well taken care of. We loved being able to use both pools, both of which were very clean. Even though the hotel was full, we rarely saw very many people and felt like we had the place to ourselves. The beach right outside was actually walkable and we had a great time spending the mornings and evenings looking for shells And enjoying the sunset from the beach. There was enough sand that if you wanted to sit out there you could and it was pretty clean. Still pretty rustic and you couldn't really get into the water, but it was gorgeous nonetheless. The hotel is in such a great location that you will never hear parties or loud groups. It's very quiet and nestled on a part of the island that is near neighbor's, but doesn't feel like it. We had plenty of food options nearby, and it was easy to walk to from the ferry. The view and sound of the water from your bed is just stunning to wake up to. We absolutely loved it and plan to go back!

The hotel location is perfect! We were able to walk to the little town for breakfast, dinner and drinks and had a fantastic view of the ocean!

Epic beach view near the ferry. Make sure you rent a vehicle well in advance. The owners were super helpful when our golf cart died.

The staff, however casual but helpful it was, our pool front and beach front room, the coolers, snorkel gear and chairs you could take for the day.

Everything was good!

The facility is great... Except it's not near anything and a rental car is needed. There really is no beach by this facility and the nearest restaurant is a hilly walk.

Great location near Isabel that made walking to restaurants easy. The view from the room was amazing! Room was clean and comfortable and beach chairs/coolers were a nice bonus.

The pools, ocean view, overall aesthetic

Nothing!

Incredible beachfront views, close to everything in town, welcoming staff. Walkable to the city center.

Nothing.

Large second floor room facing the sea.

The location right on the ocean is great! But you also need to know that you can't swim here; it's rocky and there's almost no beach. All the good beaches are on the south and west side of the island and you can't get to them unless you have a car. There's a coffee maker and a fridge in the room. It's an ok place for a night or two.

The service is non-existent. You are welcomed to a sheet of paper on the bed, which says: we won't make up your room during your stay unless you ask us to. We will charge you $50 per hour on checkout day if you stay past 11am. It doesn't feel clean, and since it's right on the ocean and it's the Caribbean, there's incredible moisture in the room. We stayed in a queen ocean view downstairs; the view is wonderful, but unless you keep the curtains closed, other guests can see into your room. The mattress was old and worn out. The ferry is 7 min walking distance up and down a hill. If you're young and have no luggage, it's no problem. But if you have suitcases, you will need transportation, which you are left to organize yourself (and they run on island time). No possibility to cook or grill unless you stay in a suite or in adjoining Casa Roja. We stayed for a week, which was definitely too long, especially since we hadn't pre-reserved a car and couldn't get one due to the holidays. Taxis won't bring you to the interesting beaches on the south side of the island, like playa Caracas, because it's only dirt roads in terrible condition. $1645 incl tax for one week did not feel like a good value. The sheet of paper also tells you that you pay for the time you reserved. If you leave earlier, tough luck. I don't think we'll be returning.
