Stayed for four nights in early June. Exceeded expectations. A beautiful property in a residential area, a far cry from the Margaritaville themed resorts, yet a two minute walk to the beach. This beach is used mostly by locals, kitesurfers, and wingfoilers, and was not crowded, even on a sunny Saturday. The hotel provides beach towels and chairs. Old San Juan is less than a ten dollar uber ride away, but the local neighborhood is fun too. We most enjoyed having our own private deck area with hammock, seating area, and mini fridge. It is magical to sit out there and listen to a thunderstorm roll in. At night you can hear the sounds of the coquis, and in the morning, the birds. I am embarrassed to say, I suspected it was a recording because it was so perfect. The flowers and plants smell amazing, especially after a rainstorm. Despite the lush vegetation, somehow there are almost no bugs. The concierge, Dixie, was so helpful. She gave us vegetarian restaurant recommendations and was very welcoming. We ate breakfast there two mornings. It was excellent and the free coffee is also very good. Compliments to the chef! The bed was comfy and the A/C heat pump worked great in the >90 degree heat. At first, my partner was leery of the outdoor shower/toilet. We quickly came to find it was preferable to an indoor bathroom in that sort of climate and environment, and it felt private. Truly a jungle oasis!
