Private pool is this luxury home's focus
Review Submitted: July 21, 2008

The pink pool castle house is a beautiful vacation home that offered everything we needed. The grounds and interior are immaculate. The house with five bedrooms is actually built around a gorgeous tiled pool so that all the rooms open into the interior courtyard that serves as the main focus of the house. The pool area is beautiful and includes a non-heated hot tub that cascades water into the pool. This area is open to the sky so sunning yourself by the pool is a very private event. Turn the pool lights on at night and enjoy looking up at the stars through the open courtyard while in your own private pool club. Cocqui frogs in the trees will serenade you to sleep as you relax. The house is secluded along a heavy vegetated ridge just 1000 feet from the beach.
The house has undergone a recent redecoration and has no signs of problems. The furniture is top rate, the rooms well appointed. Kitchen is fantastic with full model home amenities including walk in pantry, stove top island, stainless steel appliances, granite tops, microwave, coffee machines, wine cooler, etc. The kitchen/family room will soon become your focal point in the house. There is only one flat screen cable TV in the family room.
Grocery shopping and restaurants are less than 2 miles from the house near the harbor or take a car 10 minutes to the cities of Humacoa and Fajardo. We rented a golf cart to explore Palmas for all its wonders. This kept us busy for days in the resort. But we still made day trips to Vieques Island, the rainforest, the bioluminescent bay, and Luquillo beach. Lots to do!
The beaches in Palmas are lovely and private. Not too good for Caribbean snorkeling, but scenic nonetheless. Seaweed needs to be cleaned from the beach daily. Just drive your golf cart to one of many access points and set out your blanket. For better off-the-beach snorkeling the natives say to take private boats to the local out islands.
There were plenty of bedding materials and towels provided everywhere. Some standard hotel items are missing: alarm clocks, clothes iron, TV in each bedroom. But then you have a walk in cedar-lined closet, a bidet, and two master suites, so who would complain about that?
The management of this house was very accommodating.We would definitely return to the same place, there’s more to do!
