Fajardo Inn

Very clean

Amazing trip enjoyed every moment there food was delicious and everything accessible

During our stay at the Fajardo Inn (May 3–6, 2025) we discovered mold inside both nightstands (see photos). I have asthma and coughed throughout the trip, once I saw the mold, I understood why. This is a serious HEALTH HAZARD that no hotel should expose guests to. Once we saw the mold, we checked the bed more carefully and were horrified to find the mattress stained yellow with hairs on it. It was absolutely disgusting and made it clear that cleanliness is not a priority here. The problems didn’t stop there. Our door key constantly stopped working, forcing us to walk a full 10 minutes each way to the front desk to get replacements, sometimes even in the middle of the night. This was both exhausting and unsafe. The Wi-Fi did not work, there was no hair dryer, no instructions for the safe, and the lighting was unpleasant. Amenities were misleading: the pool bar was closed, and the only open restaurant was overpriced and served very low-quality food. Also, you’ll be eaten alive by the amount of mosquitoes in this place. At the pool, staff searched our bags and told us we could not bring in our own water or anything at all. They even refused to let our friends bring water for their baby. The only way to have water was to buy it from the front desk that you have to walk around and up the hill. Never in my life have I been told I could not bring water to a pool. In the Puerto Rico heat, this is not just unreasonable, it is dangerous. On the day before checkout, loud construction started right outside our room with no warning. It completely ruined our day when we were trying to relax. When we tried to get help, we were lied to repeatedly about where the manager was, and when I finally reached the acting manager by phone, she was dismissive and then hung up on me. On our last day, we spoke directly with the manager, Mary Bell Lopez. She was rude and unprofessional, told us that since we booked through a third party it was not her problem, and then walked away without apologizing for the mold, the mattress, or anything else. Later, when Chase Travel (our booking platform) called multiple times for a refund, the hotel denied it and refused to answer their phones. Between the mold, filthy mattress, broken keys, unsafe pool policies, construction noise, dishonest staff, and refusal to take accountability (especially by manager Mary Bell Lopez), this place is nothing short of a SCAM. We left feeling unsafe, disrespected, and cheated. For over $200 a night, this was outrageous. I strongly urge travelers: avoid this hotel at all costs. Puerto Rico has far better, safer, and more honest places to stay.
