El Cortecito Inn Review

It's definitely not on the A-list of mega-resorts, but it exerts a strong appeal to independent and frugal travelers who like to keep life (and their vacation hotels) simple. With a goodly percentage of clients from Spain and the D.R., and the remainder from Northern Europe, it's one of the most visible buildings in the hamlet of Cortecito, positioned just across the town's sleepy main street from a bustling stretch of very white beachfront dotted with bohío-style bars and restaurants. This three-level structure offers simply, yet comfortably, furnished bedrooms. The decor, if it could be called that, is very Caribbean and rather minimalist, although the premises are well-maintained. For a lot of your amenities, action, and facilities, you'll have to look outside your hotel, but considering that an entire universe of village life lies just outside the hotel, you probably won't have to go far. The food is home-style and presented in generous portions, much of it like that served in the home of a typical island family.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; bar; pool

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
