Parguera Plaza Hotel is a party located in the vibrant town of La Parguera on Puerto Rico’s southwestern coast. The hotel caters to adults only, and if you are not packing your bikini or swimsuit or looking to hear the beat of the local music, then this is not your hotel.
With a fun, playful atmosphere, the Parguera Plaza Hotel is an ideal base for exploring the region’s famous bioluminescent bay, diverse marine life, and nearby mangrove islands.
Location
In the heart of La Parguera, the Parguera Plaza Hotel is on the town’s main street, just steps from where, on the weekends, locals will be dancing and where local restaurants, shops, and tour operators gather. The hotel’s prime location makes it easy to access La Parguera’s unique attractions, such as nightly boat tours of the bioluminescent bay, snorkeling excursions, and fishing charters. The boat for the La Parguera BioBay is a 15-minute walk away.
Guests can enjoy the nearby protected mangroves, perfect for kayaking and paddleboarding. La Parguera’s location also allows easy day trips to Cabo Rojo’s beaches, salt flats, and scenic lighthouses. The Guanica Dry Forest is 16 miles away.
On my recent trip to Puerto Rico, we even used this hotel as a base for the beaches of west Puerto Rico up to Rincon. However, if you are not doing the BioBay experience, you would be better off staying farther north to access those beaches.
Rooms and Accommodations
The hotel offers a range of rooms tailored to various travel needs, from standard doubles to a king suite with ocean views. Rooms feature a clean, nautical-inspired decor. Each room is equipped with modern amenities, including air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and complimentary Wi-Fi. Deluxe rooms boast private balconies with ocean or village views. Bathrooms are spacious, offering rain showers and high-quality toiletries for added comfort.
I stayed in an interior queen room, which was comfortable. This is a beach hotel, so don’t expect carpet, as the cleaning staff needs to clean up a lot of sand tracked in every day.
Public Spaces and Facilities
The Parguera Plaza Hotel’s main pool is a focal point, surrounded by lounge chairs and lush greenery that create a secluded oasis for guests. A terrace provides panoramic views of the village and coastline, serving as a perfect spot for relaxation. The cabanas by the pool are available at no extra cost. There is a bar by the pool as well as the restaurant.
The hotel’s on-site gift shop offers a selection of local crafts, souvenirs, and beach essentials.
