This is a unique property that is not for everyone, but it was fine for us. There is no on-site staff and you check in using codes sent to you from the owners of the property. Then much to my surprise, they do not provide any toiletries, which meant we had to go find simple things like soap and shampoo. Overall, everything was fine with the property, however, I was shocked to read the instructions telling us that we had to clean the apartment prior to leaving. We were required to do the dishes, and sweep the floors. I was almost expecting them to ask us to do the laundry as well. My advice to the owners is if they are going to provide a service, then provide the service. Your guests are paying for it, so why make them do all the work. On a positive note, the price was right and the property was functional and comfortable.
This property sold us a room but was unprepared for our stay. When we arrived the gate was locked and we had to seek out instructions on how to enter. When we entered the room we discovered dirty rags and tools on the kitchen counter. Then, after unloading our car we realized the room had no running water! The owner/contact originally told us we may need to find other accommodations. Not what you want to hear at 8pm, especially when traveling with small children. And, it's not as if the area had a ton of other options to choose from. The water did finally get turned on for us but we were instructed to use the shower (no hot water) and flush the toilet on a limited basis. Again, not what you want to hear when paying $ for accommodations. Had they been ready for our stay we would've given a better review as it was a nice sized room with a balcony view of the ocean.
I would recommend this property.
This is a lovely place! I was able to stay at two apartments different days. I enjoy the first floor apartment which had a sitting area in the back with a view of the water. Very quiet and clean. Host was very responsive and easy to chit chat with. The second floor was a hotter lol and had a full view of the water. I did walk to the beach which took me a minute being older lol but I got there. Lol the strole was more like 20 mins for me.
Sraff very attrntive. Great for the price
Great location in the Farjado ocean front. Steps from great restaurants and next to the launch site for the Bio Bay tours. Noemi is a wonderful and attentive host. Small downsides is no WiFi on the 3rd floor and no hair dryer but who needs those things when you are relaxing by the ocean?
its close to water and Fajardo center. also we took a trip from there to Icacos Island with Mandibula a small boat business that its situated just steps from suenos del mar.
Communication with property was good. Location depending on needs for area was good. Air worked. Older rooms and decor. No pictures prior of bathroom and was dated and not clean. WiFi instructions and TV volume didn’t work. Chickens in area will wake you up early. My family wouldn’t stay here again.
I was looking for an affordable but well kept place for my parents to stay near las Cabezas de San Juan and Sueños del Mar was the perfect fit! Apartment was immaculate, spacious, linens looked new and had direct access to the terrace. The only think I would suggest is to have a spiket (pluma) outside to clean one's feet.
My whole experience was great from check in to check
Very nice Noemi is a wonderful person.very helpfull.
Everything in this place it's awesome,close to activities and the beach, beautiful view, overall a great adventure,and Noemi it's very kind and friendly,make you feel like you are at home!!
First of all, the place is simplististic, and if you are looking for a resort, best look elsewhere. However, this location is clean, has fantastic views out back, very close to water taxis, ferry terminal, and bioluminescent bay tours. Noemi is welcoming, always available for questions or suggestions (it rained on a couple of our days, and she recommended rainy day activities without us even asking); she also had beach towels, chairs, umbrella, and even a cooler available for us to borrow on our numerous beach trips. There are restauraunts, bars, and shops within walking distance. Lastly, the location felt safe, and there was a gated entry that each apartment is issued a remote to. Thanks so much Noemi for your hospitality, and giving us a home away from home!!
The balcony overlooking the ocean was fantastic. The condo was a good size. Naomi was great in making sure I had everything I needed. Very quiet.
Once we found the place is was what we needed for our vacation. There is a minimum of kitchen stuff to cook the very basics, the hot water was good but the bedsheets were ill fitted for the depth of the mattresses and so kept slipping off and bunching up. The twin beds were very soft. A nice view and great breeze and the owner Noemi was very nice and very available! Make sure to ask for the security gate password while on foot and while the gate is closed! All in all, a very pleasent stay! Seven Seas beach a nice place to swim but get there early! We would recommend staying in this condo while in the area.
Great ocean front efficiency. Rooms clean and having a functional kitchen available helps you feel at home. Always feel welcome and the stay is enjoyable.
Wow. Beautiful views, comfortable rooms, ocean breezes. Perfect place to stay when you want to be close to East side activity and secluded from the big hotel chain box feeling. Kitchen has just enough amenities to make great meals from all the local foods available. Will stay again during our next trip to PR.

On the day of your arrival, unbeknown to us, there was a broken pipe in town, and we were working off the water tanks. Since we were unaware that we were working off the tanks, the first of five tanks emptied out. All the guests had checked out and you were the only guest arriving. Once we received your call at 6:30 p.m., we immediately sent a neighbor to open the 2d tank of water for your usage. Your family never lacked running water. You were informed that we would be working off the water tank in which water had to be used moderately (which has nothing to do with the running of hot water). The option was given to stay with the small inconvenience of moderately using water, or if you preferred, to book another location which had running water. (Instead of a negative review, I would have preferred that you had left) Unless you have experienced being without water, the usage is quickly consumed and recommendations were given not to waste the water that was available in the tank. When traveling be informed of the inconveniences that the residents who live on the island experience every day since it may be an experience that you may encounter during your visit.
I would recommend this property.
Thank you and happy holidays. Until next time

So sorry to hear of your dissatisfaction. We aim to please and do our best to keep updated within the means but definitely take pride in our cleaniness. Wifi is only in the back terrace, and not inside the apartments. All apartments have two remote. The cable remote to change the channel and the t.v. remote to control the volume. A phone call would have resolved the t.v. issue you were having. Although we enjoy the chickens and roosters in their natural surroundings, we cannot control them. Hopefully you enjoyed everything else Puerto Rico has to offer.

Thank you for your fabulous review. There are 3 spigots. One on the 3rd fl,and 2 on the first floor. I will post for future guests.
Thank you for your 5 star rating. Enjoy Puerto Rico
Thank you for staying at Suenos del Mar. After COVID it is not uncommon that the owners are not at the property upon arrival. We are always a phone call away and at the property all day when our guests are out enjoying themselves. The shampoo and soap should not be a surprise since it is posted on the website where the reservation was made and is mentioned twice on your platform when the reservation is made and on the day of your arrival. Most people don’t read those messages that pertain to the property and therefore are disappointed when they arrive if they are not prepared. Our price is “right” because we do not charge a cleaning fee (like Airbnb) but we do provide the cleaning basics in the apartment just in case you want to keep a clean apartment during your stay. Washing your dirty dishes and/or taking out the garbage should not be considered cleaning since it is the basic task that should be done when staying at apartments and not in a hotel. Hope you enoyed the island.
