What happened after Hotel Impossible?

Hotel Impossible visited the Casa Verde Hotel in Rincón, Puerto Rico for the episode Casa Verde (S2E9), aired February 18, 2013. Episode coverage describes consultant Anthony Melchiorri working with an overwhelmed owner whose surfer-themed bar, Rock Bottom, was driving away guests, redesigning the bar and updating rooms as part of a larger expansion. According to Reality TV Revisited, the Casa Verde Hotel was open, citing guest reviews that praised the property's cleanliness and service. A check of the property's website on 2026-09-09 found casaverdehotel.com live, with a server last-modified date of the same day, still operating under the Casa Verde Hotel name at Carretera 413 Ramal, Rincón. The homepage lists rooms, a gallery, an on-site restaurant, and a surf shop offering board rentals, and promotes surf-and-stay packages.

The site's Rincón Surf Market section offers board rentals, beer, and wine alongside gear sales, extending the surf-focused positioning introduced during the original renovation. No copyright year appears on the page, but the current last-modified date and active booking-oriented content point to a maintained, currently updated site. The episode carries a 7.9 out of 10 audience rating on IMDb, an aggregator score based on viewer ratings rather than a professional review, and the property continues to be listed on Tripadvisor under the same Casa Verde Hotel name referenced in the episode.
