Olas Altas Inn Hotel and Spa is an 80-room hotel on Avenida del Mar, a minute's walk from the Malecón and about seven minutes from Playa Norte. Guests rate it 7.8 out of 10 from around a thousand reviews. The hotel has an outdoor pool and a children's pool, a poolside bar, a terrace and coffee shop, an on-site spa with massage and a restaurant serving breakfast and dinner. Rooms have air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, premium bedding, ceiling fans, coffee makers and large TVs, and categories include standard rooms for up to four and executive suites with a king bed. Free valet parking and express check-in add convenience. It is a sensible mid-range choice for travellers who want a pool and parking close to the seafront at a modest price.
Location and getting around
The Malecón is a one-minute walk and Playa Norte about seven minutes on foot. The city's older aquarium is a ten-minute walk, as is the Teodoro Mariscal Stadium, and La Gran Plaza mall is about seventeen minutes on foot. The airport is roughly 27 minutes by car. The Historic Center and Plazuela Machado are a short taxi or pulmonía ride along the seafront.
Rooms and facilities
Standard rooms sleep four with either two double beds or a king bed, while executive suites have a king bed and a higher guest rating. Cooked-to-order breakfast carries a surcharge, and one reviewer noted a limited selection when breakfast was included. Free valet parking is offered, though a past review describes the lot as small. Check-in is from 3 pm and check-out is at noon.
Who it suits and good to know: families and couples who want a pool, parking and a spa near the Malecón without paying resort prices. A past review mentioned an air-conditioning failure on one floor during construction, so ask about current room conditions and request a unit with working air conditioning on arrival. Book early for holiday weeks and check recent reviews to confirm the latest standards.
