Complimentary breakfast
Each morning, before you start your adventures in Puerto Rico, you're treated to a light breakfast featuring coffee, tea, toast, fruit, and other morning favorites. It's a terrific way to power up for the day—and it's free.

A little work to polish this gem
Several prior visitors to the hotel have mentioned that, although pleasant and perfectly situated, the hotel has seen better days. They felt a little paint, renovation, and updating could turn this older accommodation into a sparkling jewel.
negative:
Short window for breakfast
While the hotel does offer a free continental breakfast to its patrons, former guests made sure to note that it starts very early and only lasts for roughly an hour or two. In this case, the early bird catches the free meal.
negative:
No in room Wi-Fi
The Oceana Hostal Playero does offer courtesy Wi-Fi in the lobby area. Unfortunately, the signal doesn't extend to the rooms. If you require a steady connection, you may need to camp out in the commons or use your phone's signal.
