Beautiful property with some hick ups. Fan in room turned on by itself, mist likely caused by the neighboring rooms control. Was a bit scary as it sounded like it would fall off any minute. The bottle proved for guest was dirty and smelled like mould, the cups smelled of cigarette. Bed however was super comfortable. The roof very beautiful. We dined at the restaurant. During the reservation I was asked if we are celebrating a special occasion which I was celebrating my birthday. Not just did we have to wait for 30 minutes for the waiter to acknowledge us after being seated by the host but no mention of my birthday. Service was rather underwhelming considering how outstanding the food was.

It seems that it is family run and they protect each other, so no one can complain. The restaurant has a dress code... it's weird when you're on the beach and it's the only activity you can do... very weird, but uncomfortable.

We stayed at El Block for two nights weeks after a storm and there was a lot of seaweed all over the beaches, so in all fairness we did not get the best Viequez experience. But the hotel was well worth the price, very clean, and in a great location when weather conditions are normal. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I would totally recommend it.

30th Wedding Anniversary getaway.
This hotel was well situated and has an artsy modern design. The terrace is awesome and the layout is fun. The bed was small, but comfortable. The staff were friendly and engaging and it felt safe, secure and it was quiet . The restaurant is open from Thursday to Sunday and the food was great. Tours pick up across the hotel which is convenient.

No in-room service. We got a queen bed room. We had no idea how to book a king bed room. The room was extremely humid and small. Only highlight was the food on the first floor! Very tasty. I got the fish taco; super juicy and crispy. I also recommend the pork belly if you like the kind of pork in ramen.

We stayed for one night before we checked into our villa for our wedding. It was good for the most part, except the elevator being out of order and them putting us on that floor where it didn’t work. Three nights later we came to visit some friends who were here for our wedding and staying at El Blok. The lady at the hostess stand threatened to kick our friend out of the hotel if we went up to her room and saw it briefly. She was incredibly rude to us and our friend, despite us being the reason 6 people stayed there for almost a week. After that treatment, we won’t be back. I’d recommend checking out any of the dozens of other options that are just as nice and will treat you with kindness and respect. Casa de Amistad is a better option. El Blok is not it.
