Luxury Apartment Ocean and Marina View, Romantic

We very much enjoyed our stay and loved the condo. It had everything we could possibly need and then some. The apartment is very modern and spacious. It is in a quiet location with beautiful views of the ocean. It is in a gated community which is good for security reasons but it also turned out to be a major nuisance. They have 2 gates at the front entrance, one for residents and one for visitors. The owners are not allowed to give out the remote gate opener for the resident's gate so no matter how long you're staying there you're forced to use the visitors gate. The visitors gate is manned by one security person and you have to give your name and apt number to get in. During the day there is sometimes a line of cars waiting to get in and at night the security person leaves to do rounds so there are large periods of time when there's nobody at the gate to let you in. The first night we returned to the condo at 11pm and waited 20 minutes for the security person to come let us in. The second night we came back at 10pm and had to wait again. After about 10 minutes the security person heard us beeping our horn and waved to us from one of the upper properties, acknowledging that he saw us there. Did he come let us in? Of course not. He finished making his rounds and came to let us in about 15 minutes later. The next day I spoke to the head of security who told me they can only afford to put one security person on at night and that person has to leave to make rounds for at least 20 minutes every hour. It's just common sense that if you have a gate that requires someone to be there 24 hours a day to let people in then that person shouldn't leave for any reason. This was the most frustrating and annoying thing about our trip and I wouldn't return to stay there until they resolve this. Simple answer - if you can't have security at the visitors gate 24 hours a day then give tenants the remote for the resident's gate. Other than that the condo is amazing and we enjoyed staying there. Couldn't get the tv in the bedroom to work during our stay (Wanda quickly replied to an email regarding this but we still couldn't get it to work). The doorstop on the front door wouldn't stay up so we were constantly fighting with that. It needs fixed or removed as it's not necessary. There were no paper towels or toilet paper when we arrived and we already stopped for supplies on the way but didn't know we needed those things so we had to go back out.

Absolutely love this condo. Very nice accommodations near fun things to do like the bio-bay, catamaran/snorkeling tours and the rainforest (El Yunque). Wonderful owners easy to deal with as well. Would love to stay here again.

For those who want to just relax or even explore the eastern part of PR, this is the place. Several beaches within a 30-45 minute drive, but there is also the ferry to Culebra about 5 minutes away (Google Flamenco Beach). There is a great local restaurant just up the road called DiYukas. Also one of the rain forest is a half a hour drive away.

It is not often where the photos do not do it justice and I am presently surprised when I arrive. 3 bedroom and two bath, with one of the bathrooms behind the door for the master bedroom. A great setup for family with kids or even several couples traveling together. The balcony offers a great view of the harbor and you can watch the boats coming and going. There is even a couple of hooks on the balcony for a hammock. The kitchen more than adequate for meal prep, if you do not want to eat out.

Finally, the owner was so friendly and helpful during our stay. She meet with us in San Juan at the hotel we stayed the first night at and did her best to answer questions about tourist activities.
