We stayed in an apartment for a week and was impressed with the hotel. The breakfast was excellent and enjoyed their evening meal offer too. Would recommend the hotel for a relaxing getaway destination on the island - but it is an hour from the airport.

Unique issue was that you have to have a swimming cap to swim in the 2 pools. You must pay 4 euros to rent a cap, so bring your own! The staff was pretty great. Also, everything is clean and centralized located. Breakfast was so good.

Great views! Staff were friendly, food was delicious. We missed lunch by 30 minutes but had bar food available. Amenities included an outdoor unheated pool, an indoor heated pool, sauna, steam room, and gym. Clean comfortable rooms. Bathroom was a little dated. Plenty of parking (other than we arrived during an event so lot was full). A solid, 4 star hotel! Would recommend if you are staying overnight in Nordeste.

The staff are excellent, the location provides beautiful views, and the breakfast is perfect to start the day. In addition, the rooms are a good size (similar to US hotels), clean, and well appointed. I look forward to staying at The Lince Nordeste again in the future and will recommend this hotel to all of family and friends who are traveling to Nordeste.

Everything was excellent. The ocean views are wonderful and the restaurant is extremely pleasant. The only thing to be aware of is that it is located on the other side of the island from the airport, although it is an easy drive.

The Lince Nordeste is the perfect place to stay in tranquil Nordeste. The staff are professional, friendly, helpful, kind, and able to communicate in multiple languages. The rooms are spacious, and clean. Rooms with ocean views have an amazing view of the town and ocean, which is lovely day and night. Breakfast is plentiful, fresh, and very tasty. Staff are ready and eager to prepare breakfast food and/or drinks that are not on display in the buffet. There is plenty of parking at no additional cost. The property also has an indoor and outdoor pool, and sauna. The elevator is roomy, which makes it easy to carry four people and their luggage comfortably to/from the second floor. My husband and I extended our stay from three nights to nineteen nights with ease, thanks to the competence of the staff, who felt more like family than hotel staff members by the time we left. We really love The Lince Nordeste and highly recommend it to visitors to the area.
