Needs a little TLC
Our two night stay at Acacia Seaside was very nice after a nice 8 day cruise! The king size bed was very comfortable and the private balcony was perfect. We were just steps away from an awesome jacuzzi...unfortunately the heater & jets did not work properly. The rooftop patio was quiet and had a private shower for sunbathing. The beach area was very close by, but did not have any beach bars or areas to rent chairs. The hotel only had one old chair to use. The staff was generally friendly but exhibited some attitude. It was a short walk into the downtown area of shops & restaurants. Room (and hotel) lacked a coffee maker. Despite these few shortcomings, we would stay again...

Much needed r & r
Acacia is a quaint, clean and comfortable hotel. I enjoyed the fact that I could walk to the beach and to Ashford Avenue for shopping and dining. Hotel is situated perfectly for everything I needed. Would stay there again. Staff was friendly and helpful. The food at Niche is absolutely delish.

a weekend get away
it was wonderful. The villa was super clean, cozy, nothing fancy. Our room had a balcony that you could "see" the ocean but this ugly hotel in front of us but you could still enjoy the view. The Niche Restaurant was super expensive and we only had drinks there which were excellent. The staff was wonderful. We would definitely recommend this villa.

Beautiful Boutique Hotel
I stayed at the Acacia with two girlfriends (in our late 20's) and it was perfect for us. The room was a little small but enough room for a small spare mattress ($25 extra per night for 3rd person), and it had a wrap-around patio. It was on the best beach that we visited on the trip - mostly locals, pretty wild surf but still swimmable (no lifeguard). The Inn's jacuzzi is awesome, and the rooftop is neat for sitting and chatting, enjoying the breeze. The pool at the Wind Chimes Inn, the sister property less than a block away, is also beautiful. We didn't eat at the hotel's restaurant because it was too expensive, but the coffee in the mornings was very good. As for the service, everyone was very friendly, and one woman behind the desk in particular was extremely helpful. They will hook you up with a great tour of the rainforest or whatever you want to do, based on availability - check that out early to get the one you want! We did it last minute and still got a really great tour. I would stay here again for sure, I highly recommend it. It would be very romantic for couples. Note, however, that when you pick the type of room you want it is a "request" and not a "guarantee."

Kamoli Cafe is a great unique spot nearby for a little thrift shopping, dining, and drinking. Their french toast with Nutella and strawberries is to die for! Ask them about cool events and nightlife happening around town.

Nice getaway for couples.
Great location. Great jacuzzi. Nice rooms. Friendly staff. However, linens are old with stains, front desk is not always attended, no mini fridge in room. No free breakfast. Overall, a cute little nook, the sister hotel "At Wind Chimes Inn," also looked nice, and we could use the pool there.

Nice Small Hotel
My wife and I just got back from our stay at Acacia. The hotel is in an excellent location situated on the outskirts of Condado. Easy walking distance to restaurants, nightlife and the beach. The room was small, but well appointed. The rattan furniture is a nice touch, giving it a tropical feel. The bathroom is large for its size and the terra cotta shower was roomy. We could hear the Coqui frogs at night with the windows open and the breeze blowing into the room. The staff was extremely helpful with transportation and locating places to eat or visit. Beach chairs and towels are available at the front desk for use at the beach a mere one minute walk from to hotel. The citrus water was delicious and we usually filled a bottle before heading out. Lastly, the hotel restaurant Niche is outstanding. The food was fantastic. The waitstaff was superb and Hector made a wonderful Mojito and Champagne spritzer. Overall a nice vacation experience.

Peaceful, Friendly, Walk to Everything you need!
I started laughing in joy as I was shown around and into my room... So BEAUTIFUL. The beach is right outside and is never crowded, as this seems to be more of a residential area. Fantastic LOCAL RESTAURANTS:) as well as starbucks and such, all a short walk. Hotel restaurant, Niche', is very good (get the whole snapper;), but not always open. I'd recommend hitting up the grocery store for snacks on the beach. Not much 'night life' in this area .... but I was here to escape that scene! Staff are really cool! helpful, friendly, and laid back. Type of people I'd be friends with if I lived here.

Perfect getaway!!
What a treat!! Beautifully restored hacienda a half block from the beach. Our room was very comfortable, with lovely terra cotta tiled bathroom and a private balcony. Very comfortable. Hotel nicely decorated with a beautiful sunning deck on the roof and a huge tiled outdoor hot tub/jacuzzi with ocean views. Niche restaurant. is on the first floor...we enjoyed a first rate breakfast and dinner. Staff extremely helpful.

Great beach, private and cozy
Acacia is to the southeast of the main commercial zone in Condado but within short and easy walk. The beach was more open and less crowded her in Ocean Park, and the neighborhood more residential and quiet. Hotel was cute, with a lot of character, room was nice, great balacony, bathroom was fine. The jacuzzi-pool was gorgeous. Had a great time, liked the location and staff.
