The Hotel Joaquin is a beautiful hotel in an ideal location. I appreciate the stylish rooms, particularly the spacious bathhouse style shower and tub. Our room, Thalia, did not have an ocean view, so if I was to book again, I would research which rooms have the views I would want.
Loved the room decor and cleanliness. Went to the hotel bar twice. They had great drinks and great service but the second night we heard the guests above us stomping around in the middle of the night and we could hear them talking. Not sure how thick the walls are.
Patrick went above and beyond to help me find a charging cord in the middle of the night. The staff also wrote a handwritten note I received at checkout. Exceptional customer service.
We had a wonderful experience at Hotel Joaquin! from the moment we arrived , the staff went over and beyond to welcome us.
The breakfast was fresh and delicious and the hotel was both relaxing and stylish.

Such a beautiful hotel. Excellent breakfast, friendly staff, and very clean rooms.
We had a great time here and enjoyed our mini "staycation" last night. The views were spectacular and the room was very comfortable. Highly recommend this place!
The property is amazing! Everything is in the details. It’s super clean, peaceful, the pool is awesome, view is great, decor is INCREDIBLE, loved the record player and LPs in the room. Love the movies, the taffy in the jars, the staff are so sweet, positive and lovely. The food is also really great. The only thing is check in is at 4pm which is a little late IMO.
Loved this space, even you get a resort stay charge but totally worth it because you get sit down breakfast with service for free every morning with coffee and juices and walking to the beach and a pool. It’s ideal
The property is a very short walk to the water. All of the staff were warm and welcoming. The aesthetics are really nice and not campy like other beach properties. They made my Christmas very nice with a sweet little gift under the tree.
