Great location. Walking distance from the beach, which was very clean, and so very nice. Very clean apartment, very attentive staff. Checked in on our stay to make sure we didnt need anything for the remainder of our stay. The best thing for me, was it was walking distance from my favorite breakfast/coffee shop in Puerto Rico (the coffeeteria)!!!!!! Would definitely stay here again! Thank you for helping make our vacation amazing!!!

Disliked: Amenities
My biggest two issues were that the ice section of the refrig was solid ice and the ice tray frozen in. I had to defrost and clean up and even despite that it was noisy so just shut if off. The other was that the lights on the outside of the building were so bright the shades were useless. I didn't need lights on to walk around inside in the dark and made it harder to sleep. Not really happy but I'm guessing this is common in that area.

While the customer service was excellent and the bedroom was clean and organized, the location of the bedroom was not good. Also, there were tree branches causing issue by denying easy access to the bedroom. In addition, there was a lot of noise going on the premises of the hotel and the surroundings.

This property is like a fortress once inside but not really a tourist area and you are very close to some undesirable areas, saying that,, we had no issues. Also there water was barely warm, which we didn't need until the morning of departure and no time to complain.
