Why "El Capitán"?
The living room of El Capitan has a seafaring motif and feel. And the bedroom has the floor build up, with two steps, so that the bed and area around it is elevated, and from the bed itself you can see the ocean all the time. And we figured that this is what a captain would want, being able to survey his domain - the open ocean all the way out to the horizon - at all times. So we called the property El Capitán

perfect getaway
This property was perfect for us. The pool and beach are gorgeous, the view from the balcony can't be beat. It's very close to the places we wanted to visit (Old San Juan, Piñones, El Yunque) and it was so convenient to be in walking distance of pharmacies, restaurants, etc.

We loved having a condo on the beach for our stay in PR. Home away from home. We were welcomed with a few staple food items that were so appreciated due to the fact that we landed at 9pm. We were able to forgo a grocery run until the next day based on the items they had waiting for us. Everything is as pictured and clean. We enjoyed our stay. A little noisy when windy (often) as the wind seems to howl through the patio door and right through the hallway door as well. They had beach supplies and bathroom supplies all stocked and ready for use. Thank you!

Beautiful view from the balcony
Overall it was a nice space but needed updating. Kitchen was well equipped. Lighting during the day was great but at night it was very dim and difficult to see. The bed is at the top of two 10" steps. I would caution anyone w/ knee, hip or balance issues to NOT stay here. We used towels and pillows to help us see the steps when getting off the bed. The beach chairs were very much appreciated. Also, do NOT rent from Charlie's Car rental, whom the Marco Polo corp recommends. Although they were very efficient they crudely paint over previous damage. So make sure to take pics when you rent and then when you turn your car into the rental. Charlie's will ask where you are staying...DO NOT TELL THEM! Better to pay the extra $$ and rent from a reputable car rental. We used our plastic/rubber cups as we were unable to find a vacuum or dust pan. Had we broken anything we would have been unable to clean up the glass.

Stay Away!!!
Location is great, the view is amazing but underneath lies TROUBLE!!! My fiancé and I both were bitten by begs bugs DAY 1!! We assumed it was misquotes bites boy were we wrong!! Day 2 was even worse they ate get back up all was down to her buttocks and legs… That ruined the entire trip, spending an entire day at doctor, then being too paranoid to sleep on any furniture so we bunked up with a cousin the remainder of our trip.. Wasted time and money and no one from upper management has issued an apology, reimbursement, or anything of the sort! They stopped communicating with me as soon as I reached out about my problems.. Please be aware!!! My advice don’t stay here!!!

Great location with potential, but several issues
Overall, this is a very nice condo but there were several major issues that prevent me from giving it a great review. PROS - Location, clean, view, communication with rental manager were all great. CON - A/C unit was (still) extremely loud, like sleep prohibiting loud. This definitely needs to be addressed. B/C unit is on the 14th floor it's CRITICAL that the A/C run at night. Even if ceiling fans, or at the very least box or unit fans were provided, this would've helped circulate the air. STOVE - had a HUGE crack on the surface top. I was so scared when we checked in thinking the mgt might think we did it, b/c certainly they wouldn't rent it out this way. But they did know about it but have been waiting on a repair. Okay, but tell us thought so I don't get a fright seeing this upon arrival. POOL - it is closed every Monday for "cleaning." A whole day, yes. Also, you can only use the pool for 1 hour/day and it needs to be reserved and obtain the key from front desk security. This is of course very cumbersome and not even worth the trouble. I paid extra for a pool but never used it b/c of these strict limitations. Not blaming the rental company but they need to communicate this very important factor to potential renters. There were some other maintenance issues that should be addressed like rusty dish rack, super worn countertops, A/C creates a huge puddle of water.. again, all these things add up. I do appreciate that when I addressed this to management after we departed they were fair with recompense and seemed to want to correct it. I am not a picky person but we also have a rental property in Va Beach and I think these issues were important to let renters know about. Overall, it is a nice condo with lots of great amenities but until those issues (some of which I know are out of their control) are corrected, I would not rent here again. There are many other properties in Isla Verde area to consider.
