Meliá Century Hotel Ponce
The staff super friendly and helpful. Hotel in great spot in front of the the town Plaza and in the middle of everything thats going around. Avoid rooms with Plaza view...you will not sleep if there are activities going on. From the music, car noise...to the blower and water hose street and Plaza ...

The staff was great and very accomodating. A/C worked, but could only be controlled by the facility staff and was very loud.
