The Blok Hotel is a great place to stay

The room caught us by surprise, it was all cement finished walls throughout. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was updated. We had a small balcony, it was perfect. There was no TV in the room, which was great because we were there to enjoy the scenery not to watch TV. It had a 24 hour access to the rooftop area with a 6 person jacuzzi. The staff was friendly and they even had books to read and board games to play with in the hallway before entering the rooms. My wife and I loved it, we will definitely stay there again in the near future.

During my stay, I unfortunately experienced food poisoning. When I approached the concierge for assistance in obtaining medication, I was told that I would have to wait until morning, as the hotel did not have any remedies or resources available to help.

We stayed here because we did the bioluminescent with Taino and they meet in the lobby here. Beds were very comfortable and restaurant dinner was AMAZING!. Bathrooms were small bit not a deal breaker. Would definitely stay here again. We stayed on Thursday.
