"Lovely hotel, clean and close to local amenities. Good location as round the corner from the main strip of restaurants and shops. The hotel has a maned gate. 24 hour reception. The staff are friendly and very very helpful. We briefly had breakfast one morning due to early starts with tours, and can say it was outstanding. Lots of choice of fresh fruit, bread, cakes, hams ,cheese, pastries you name it. There is even an on site bar and restaurant which is lovely. The hotel itself is beautiful. Highly recommend"

"Nos gustó mucho Hotel Don Raul, tiene EXCELENTE ubicación es literalmente en calle caracoles (la calle principal, para restaurantes, tienditas y agencias de viaje para los tours). Es un hotel con vibra de hotel ¿A qué me refiero? Recepcion 24/7, piscina con sillas, tiene musica varios dias a la semana en la noche en la terraza y una barrita para el que desee tomarse un trago o copa de vino. Además, cuenta con número de whatsapp para que puedas comunicarte directamente con lo que necesitas. Ofrecen desayuno buffet con variedad desde las 7am, pero tambien ofrecen desde las 5am un desayuno express en caso de que tengas un tour mas temprano (se debe solicitar con anticipación) Nuestro cuarto era bastante pequeño, al igual que el baño pero tiene todo lo básico que necesitas para la estadía.. (si me hubiese gustado una neverita pequeña para poner cosas a enfriar). La cama es un poco dura, pero suficiente para una corta estadía. Cuenta con un restaurante Agua Loca, que es muy bueno (fuimos dos veces), super recomendado! Si volvería a San Pedro, seria un hotel que consideraria quedarme nuevamente."
