Mi primera vez en San Juan

During the month of Aug, 2009 my husband and I went to Puerto Rico. We stayed at this studio apartment. The Apartment is in a great location in Condado, San Juan. The Building is in good condition and it has a pretty lobby. There are security guards 24 hours each day. Also, there is a pool and GYM. About the apartment, even though it is a studio apartment, it feels quite comfortable and very spacious. In the kitchen you can find the necessary utensils to cook. The bed is queen size, and very comfortable with nice linen. In the Living room you can find a sofa that you can turn into a bed.
Definitely, if I have the opportunity to come back to Puerto Rico I will stay in this apartment given the fact that it is nice, beautiful, and located in a good neighborhood close to the beach.

My boyfriend & I just got back from our stay at Rolman & Ruperto's rental. We loved it! The location was great! We were steps away from many restaurants & even took advantage of some of the local hotels ameninities! Cab rides to Old San Juan and other parts of San Juan were about $14/each way which can get expensive. We ended up renting a car next door at Charlie's Rental for $50 for the day. It was worth it to drive around and see other parts of Puerto Rico!

The rental was very clean & the view was beautiful. Rolman & Ruperto were very helpful and easily accessible for any questions or concerns. The attendants in the lobby were also very friendly. We highly recommend this rental!

We really enjoyed our stay at Condado beach. The condo was easy to find, the security staff was friendly and helpful as were the residents, and the studio was as described.

It was nice to be in a tourist area without being at a resort surrounded by tourists. We had the pool all to ourselves most days, which would never happen at a typical hotel. At the same time, we were right across the street from the Marriott and could take advantage of their casino as well as the beachfront (note that they only rent chairs and umbrellas to guests, however).

The condo was quiet, however there was quite a bit of street noise at night, particularly on the weekend. If you are a light sleeper you may need earplugs or white noise.

The best part about staying here was the wide variety of excellent restaurants within walking distance. Some of our favorites included:
Cafe Orozco- Exit the building to the left and go a couple blocks. Great cheap breakfast/sandwich menu.
Yerba Buena - Exit to the right one block. Try the pumpkin fritters.
Pamelas - Exit to the right and walk about 20 minutes. Get a table on the beach and enjoy a romantic view.
Via Appia - 2 doors down from Yerba Buena. Great Italian-style pizza.

Exit the building to the right and go about 3 blocks to the EOS market for food, drink, and supplies. There is a Starbucks to the left, and there are Walgreens in either direction.

There is free Wi-Fi in the lobby (get the WPA code from the security desk or 2nd floor admin office) and we were even able to get the signal in the unit.

There is no microwave in the unit but there is one on the 2nd floor (as well as vending machines, a fitness center, and laundromat).

All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the owner was extremely helpful throughout. Thanks for everything!

Anyone who is looking for a fun, cozy, & safe place to spend on a vacation this is the place. We enjoyed the stay at the condo and the hospitality that you have to offer. Everyone was so nice with us and the security help with offering some suggestions in the places that we could visit. If you are up to some fine latin food you will find near by a restaurant called 'Yerba Buena' the place we really enjoy the food, and there comfy moving tables. Beaches are one block away so we were there everyday.
You would love the condo...we did. Rolman & Ruberto thank you for everything.

My boyfriend and I recently visited san juan puerto rico for a small family reunion and also for romance/relaxation. We had the pleasure of staying in this condo and were already looking forward to going back. Rolman was such a pleasure to work with. We frequently stay at vacation rentals when we travel and I must say this has been the most pleasant. Rolman was quick with email response and didn't mind me calling. Very helpful in everyway and we even received our rental deposit less than a week of our return (most owners may hold it for 15 to 30 days). The security staff at the condo were so helpful and extremely welcoming. The condo has the most amazing view of the ocean ( breath taking in person ) and the location is absolutely amazing. We were less than a block away from the beach and great food was less than 5 min away. When we didn't want to go to the beach, we went downstairs to the pool/jacuzzi area that the condo offered. Beach chairs were supplied and the surrounding buildings and trees offer a great shade and breeze.
Food Reccomendations:
Orozco's- right next door to Walgreens less than a block away. Their food was great. The calamari was the best I have ever tasted. Their breakfast was good as well and very cheap. Aside from their slow and relaxed service ( 15 -18 % tip is automatically included at all restaurants in pr ) their food is really good.
Latin Star- right next door to Orozco's. They had great food as well and great service.
On our last night there we dined at this new italian restaurant called IL Postino - right around the corner from walgreens. This was my favorite restaurant. Everyones dish was well made and tasted exceptional. If you love pizza they make it right in front of you. Service was great and decor is soothing. My only dissappointment was that we had not found it sooner. Oh and might I add the prices were very reasonable. Loves it. All and all we had a wonderful time on our trip and it is greatly due to our decison on staying in this condo. Future renters will not be dissappointed.

Dear Ruperto and Rolman,
Your condominium was absolutely perfect. It was very romantic and we actually became engaged in your home!!!! Every morning I sat on the deck and drank my coffee and watched the ocean and the streets of Condado. I could have sat there all day long as it was so peaceful and enjoyable. I heard none of the neighbors ever and the staff at the facility were so helpful and pleasant. The bed was the most comfortable bed I have been on in a long time. Your home was so convenient to everything. The surrounding restaurants and shops were also amazing. We will definitely be going back to stay in your home very soon. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay!!!!

As a native to the island but living in Florida for years I decided to stay in El Condado area. During my arrival and stay everyone in the building made me feel welcome.

Rolman one of the owners was very attentive and friendly with all details of the property. The unit is equiped with kithchen and all basic things you may need. Upon my arrival everything was cleaned and in its place. I met some of the neighbours while comimng in & out of the building. They all are very nice and lovely people- very helpfull when asking for dirrections.

The building is clean, secured and with a terrific view. It is right across from the Marriot Hotel, near by Walgreens, restaurants, car rental, Starbucks and so many things to do including the beach. The local magazine called "Que Pasa" is very informative with maps and places to go.

I felt like home when watching the news and weather channels. My laptop wireless card has never worked better from this 10th floor unit. I was able to cook most of my meals and some other days eat out of the near by restaurants. Great food! If you ever visit San Juan please eat at 315 Precinto Sur "Raices Rest." the food is excellent.

By the way, if you rent a vehicle, make sure you take the GPS device. It is a life saver and you will never be lost in Puerto Rico. Use it even if you are walking! This is how I found the near by market. My experience was great and felt very secured at all times. I will defenetly go back again.

I took my son for his first trip to Puerto Rico and wanted to be in Condado where we could access the beach, restaurants, entertainment and close to Old San Juan. When I take him again to San Juan we will defitely stay here. This condo was perfect. It was clean, well maintained, comfortable and exactly what the pics show, but to actually be there is even better! Having the full kitchen is great so you can make breakfasts and lunches and heat up leftovers in the stove. I would make coffee and take it to the balcony and read my book every morning. The TV had plenty of stations to keep a 13 year old entertained while in the room. The beach is so close we only went to the pool once but it is convenient and there is a jacuzzi too. The lobby is very nice and has free internet (however in the condo surprisingly I kept automatically connecting to the Marriots and could get email and IM but not browse internet). The security guards are as friendly as could be and very helpful if you are looking for anything.
Starbucks is also next door for a frozen drink or lemonade on the way to the beach.

Recommendations:
Beach: When going to the ocean take a left out of the building and at the lights at Walgreens go across the street to the beach. Right there you can rent chairs. Make sure to have the slushies too when they come by with the cart; passion fruit and coconut were both great.

Breakfast/lunch: Orozco's (tell Raul I say hello) which is 2 blocks to the left on the same side of the street. For like $3 you get 2 eggs, toast, sausage or ham and 3 mini pancakes! They have yummy rice and chicken too and you MUST try their own hot sauce, I bought a bottle to bring home. For our 5 day stay we ate there 4 times! They had the best chicken alfredo I have ever tasted, ever, too, it is my sons favorite dish and we all most licked the plate clean it was so great and fresh and cheesy! My son orders this everywhere and I am serious this was the BEST EVER.

Sushi - if you like sushi at all you MUST go to Wasabi one block to the right on same side of street. Was so incredible we ate over $100 of sushi for 2 people! I think my son ordered like 8 rolls by the end. The sake sangria was really good too

Old San Juan: Fortresses both El Morro and San Cristobel - just walking around the whole city - then for food (and pina colada's) Barachina's. AMAZING!!!! My son and I both got fish (salmon and snapper) with the rice and beans.
