We have been to this property several times. We usually come at least once a year.. This year, the property is showing signs of neglect and upkeep needed. The room walls had knocks of paint missing. The bathroom grout was disgusting and needs cleaning or regrout work. The pool, which usually is beautiful, had dirt and/ or algae/mold/mildew on the walls and floor. The grassy area was dirt and mud. So disappointed. This is usually our go-to place for a reliable quick get-away from the other side of the island. I can’t imagine my disappointment if I had chosen this as a real “vacation” spot.

I liked the activities that were close by the property. Only thing is I didn’t realize how far it was from San Juan. Also on terms of the stay, the facility and room didn’t feel very clean. Dust, black spots on the floorboards, leaking ceiling, rusty shower parts. The pool is beautiful and enjoyed the seahorse bar& beach access. The first time our room was “tidied” while we were out, we came back and all of our shower towels were removed. Room was originally stocked with three bath towels, a hand towel, and a floor matt. No wash cloths. Anyways we came back and just let the front desk know our towels were taken and never replaced and we needed new ones to shower with. They radioed to someone to have them replaced. We left again for the day and came back that night to no towels. We went back and asked again and they said they were bringing them up. Still none brought up. The next after noon (our third day) we came back and our room was actively being serviced and again we mentioned how we needed towels. The housekeeper said “I’ll have someone bring them up, I don’t have any with me.” Well no one ever brought any up. So we ended up just saying whatever and making a trip to a nearby Walgreens/Cvs. We had to also buy toiletries and stuff because the bottle is so tiny that they leave for you. We went the entirety of our stay, minus the first day without the replacement towels, hand towels, wash cloths. Should have stayed at the embassy nearby this property. Next time. Do research

Since the first day that my family of 4 arrived. The front desk staffs were nice, but every day we have to ask for cleaning towels. We were 4 and they only brought for 3 people. Every single day we had to ask for towels. The coffee maker is not working properly, the bathroom is old and make a lot of noise. Elevators, only 1 from 2 work and I almost got stuck with my daughter's and another couple on it. We called for help and rook right away the stairs. Beds are really hard. The building is onther construction. Water not for free. Nothing actually, you have to pay for everything including the beach chairs. The areas is very nice and safety, but rent a car because taxi is very expensive in that area. Food in the New York restaurant overpriced and regular. Staff's restaurant great.
