My significant other and I spent Easter weekend here and we loved it. Rooms were nice and clean, AC was awesome and there was warm water. The parking situation was somewhat an issue. But we got the hang of it, just find parking somewhere on the street with white paint. Thank you La Vida Buena Inn for making our vacation comfortable. We Love Puerto Rico!! 🇵🇷 💕
