Our Family had the best time ever, excellent location and accommodations. The condo is well appointed and had everything we needed to enjoy our eight-day stay. Because the condo is situated on the fourth floor, we enjoyed magnificent ocean breezes.The apartment is clean and well maintained, grounds are beautiful.Customer service was excellent, Luis thank you for your support. We will recommend this property to a friend or relative, we will definitely be back!!

Condo Review

Review submitted: May 14, 2013   Date of arrival: May 4, 2013

Pros: (1) Lovely gated community; (2) Condo very clean (with the exception of the dirty/moldy bathroom shower curtain in the hall. Not the owners fault but they may want to let the cleaning service know); (3) Beautiful views; (4) Very Close to beach; (5) Huge Pool; (6) Elevator (handy when bringing luggage and groceries up!); (5) washer & Dryer; (6) Beach chairs; (7) WiFi; (8) everyone in the complex we met were VERY nice!

Cons: (1) 20+ speed bumps from the main gate to the condo itself; (2) No central A/C. The only A/C is upstairs in the 2 bedrooms (kind of like our window units). The day we arrived it was so hot & humid downstairs it was unbearable. We had turned on the ceiling fans but with no breeze it was nasty. We went to the store and purchased an additional floor fan which helped us out a lot; (3) no TV in either bedroom; (4) no clock in one of the bedrooms; and (5) no phone.

There is a restaurant called “The Pelican” near the gated community that is family owned that is very clean, has wonderful food, and fun entertainment. We also found another little place in Joyuda called “something…Mindy’s” They had the BEST empendillas and Monfogo ever!!! It is also a VERY Casual place but the food was excellent and the drinks were cold!! .

10-20 minute drive to Combate, Buye and Suchia beaches which are GORGEOUS! Along with the Lighthouse!

We had an amazing time. It was much better then we had expected. This was our first time renting privately and we were a little nervous sending money off to a stranger and not really knowing how it all worked, getting keys, directions, etc. I can tell you that this was the easiest vacation I have booked. The owners are great. They contacted us immediately with all the information we needed and made arrangements for us to contact Luis in PR with all the specifics. I must add Luis is the best. He called to make sure we were ok. Told us of some good places to go and the best places to eat. We had some family come and visit while we were there for the day and had Thanksgiving with the family on the beach. The unit itself had everything you could possibly need. Full service set of plates, cups, silverware, coffee maker toaster, mixer, blender. A cabinet full of all different pots, pans, bowls etc. It was like being at home. Dish detergent, foil, napkins, blow dryer, several bath towels, all the sheets and bedding you could possibly need. The laundryroom was a great feature which also had laundry detergent. The view is amazing. Laying in bed listening to the sound of the ocean or watching the sunset or waking to the morning sun over the ocean. This is the place to be. I look forward to going back.. It is a very safe enviroment. We met some really nice people there. Its very well maintained. There are a couple things that I wasn't aware of until we got there that were a plus 1.) It was a 2 story penthouse style. Top floor (with an elevator) 2.) The bedrooms are upstairs. 3.) Two full baths , one with a bidet 4.) 24 hour security. The negative of the trip was 1.) All those speed bumps 2.) Having to leave.
+++++ To the owners and to Luis Thank you and Have a Happy and Healthy New Year +++++++
