This is my second stay at this property and not my last. Safe location for parking and staying. Balcony with table and chairs right on the beautiful beach. Easy walking access to nearby stores and restaurants. Complete beach access. Condo also provides towels, chairs, and umbrella. Should you decide to cook in all equipment is in the kitchen provided to you. I’ll be back next year.

Great Spot
We stayed in this 2nd floor, one bed condo for 3 nights before getting on a cruise.It was a great stay and we had fantastic views of the beach and a good sized balcony off the living room. We took an Uber from the airport to the apt. Which was about 10 and it was a little confusing figuring out which building was the correct one but after about 10 min we did; The outside of the building could use some freshening up but it wasn’t terrible and the unit was in good shape.Was about a 10 min walk to “the main drag” where you will fInd stores and restaurants and other large hotels with casinos. Also about a 18-20 min walk to a large supermarket.which we would recommend.The unit was in good condition and had a full size refrigerator and plenty of cookware and all you would need to prepare food, the bed was pretty comfortable and you can hear the waves from the sea and it was quiet as far as outside noise; we slept well. You will have to walk about a half a block or 3 min to get onto the beach because although the property has a gate leading to the beach it was blocked off bc it looked like a storm had caused damage to the 2 steps that brought you to the sand; the tide came right up to the steps so we just walked around the corner and it wasn’t a big deal. There are 2 beach chairs and towels and a small cooler to use; we found shade under some trees on the pretty beach.Skip Plato’s restaurant; clipping tourists. We ate authentic PR food at Diego’s 3 times! 7 min walk away.

More than 5 stars!
This condo was everything we hoped for and then some. The location was stunning, the condo was clean and the beach was beautiful with not a lot of people. The condo is within walking distance to restaurants and shops. We took an Uber into Old San Juan which was very affordable and easy. The only con I can say is that I wish we had a few more bath towels to use. I highly recommend.

Lovely view great location
I enjoyed the centrality of the location, everything wasin clse proximity, walking distance. I was disappointed about the cleanliness of the place. Dust was everywhere and my allergies was very active as a result. The kitchen was clean and facilities were good. There was no kettle so we had to boil water to make tea. Sleeping arrangement was less than suitable, there ere no bli ds in the living room to educe l8ght xposure oming into the living room area where the pull outbed was located. Bed in the bedroom as a full bed so not comfortable for 2 people. There were only two pillows,no xtra blanket to accommodate sleeping on the pull out bed. The dust levels in the bedroom was very high, window ledges, crevices of the bed corners everywhere was dusty. It was abig turn off for m because i booked the place bsed on the reviews for cleanness. Overall i had a good time. Location woukd be my number 1 reason to recommend this place.
