GETTING AROUND
We recommend moving around via Uber if staying within the general Isla Verde and San Juan area. If you decide to rent a car, please keep in mind that this apartment has one assigned parking.
The Neighborhood: LOCATION
Pal Mar is located on Isla Verde Beach, Puerto Rico. This is arguably the best urban beach in the Caribbean. The beach is 1.5 miles long, and the Isla Verde strip has a long list of dining and nightlife options. The apartment is 5 minutes from the airport and has car rentals, supermarkets, a Walgreens, and multiple hotels and casinos within walking distance.
There are many things to do in the surrounding areas; here are some of our favorites:
Chill at the beach! It is one of our favorite beaches in Puerto Rico and a must-do if you stay at Pal Mart. The apartment has beach chairs, towels, and coolers for a long day at the beach. Lunch or dinner at La Placita de Santurce, a local market with 20+ restaurants and awesome nightlife. We love Santaella restaurant, local cuisine with a modern approach in La Placita. Shop at The Mall of San Juan. This brand new mall is a 10-minute drive from the apartment and has excellent shops and dining options. Explore the El Yunque Rainforest. El Yunque is an easy 30-minute drive from the property and is the only rainforest under US Flagship. Spend a day in Old San Juan. Pal Mar is a 15 min drive away from the oldest city in all of the US. There is a lot of history and great food and drinks to savor.

Great location and safe
The condo was just as described in the listing with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The patio is a great way to wake up in the morning with a cup of coffee and having a cooler and beach chairs along with beach towels is a great benefit since it is hard to fly with all those things. We walked to the grocery store, Walgreens, and several places to eat within walking distance. We felt safe with the key fob locks all around. Karen from property management kept in touch and handled one big issue during our stay. I would rate it five stars for location and accuracy, but the patio door is broke and would not fully lock and needs to be updated or replaced. Bring a knife sharpener. I would suggest someone provide written instructions for the TV use. Bring coffee and filters. The parking spot use was perfect as we rented a car to see the rain forest which is a must. Location location location.

Amazing lication
We stayed here for a few days before our cruise. We loved the beach access and the pool. The beds were decent. My only complaint is that there wasn't any hand soap in the bathrooms.

Nice Winter Escape
The condo location was very convenient to dining and entertainment options and had a wonderful view of the beach. The interior was as described in the online materials and suited our needs. The outdoor areas were very nice. The check in process was a little hurried, and we did encounter a problem with the fob that accesses the pool and beach not working. Getting that fixed took over an hour and altered our plan for the day, but it did get rectified. A couple suggestions for making the property even better: add a tv in second bedroom; move the plates and bowls in kitchen to a cabinet more accessible than the one over the microwave ( if you’re not tall, have to climb on a chair to reach).

Nice stay near the beach
This property has an awesome location for beach-goers. While the cleanliness could have been better (dusty faux plants, lamps, etc.), we enjoyed our stay. It was a bit annoying to not have enough TP and the like, but that was listed on description, so we came prepared to buy our own. Neighborhood left a little to be desired, but had the convenience of a walgreens across the street. If you want a great pool and beach vacay, this is a nice spot.

Great place
Loved staying here.
Nice modern 2/2, the stay was great had plenty of towels and hot water. I've been at a few places that the water pressure and warm water was lacking. Your right on the beach. Great selection of beach toys and seats to take down. Carolina is great because it's pretty close to San Juan and things to do.
Also parking was super easy, I suggest a sedan at most because it is a little tight.
Overall great stay and I would highly recommend.
Neysha was great if anything happened or if I had questions. Her communication was Amazing during our trip!

Great Beach Location! Steps away!
This is located in a central area. Mere steps to the beach, and within a 5-10 minute safe walk, dining, shops, spas and more. You will need to ride share or have a car for a grocery store trip. There is a convenience market nearby. The condo is well represented in pictures, the building is in need of updates, but safe and 24/7 security. They will store luggage for you if needed after checkout. The unit initially did not have an extra FOB for access, so if your party will be splitting up, arrange for that in advance. The patio is a huge asset for rain, or the evening. The pool is closed several days a week and sometimes the FOB didn't work, but was also clean.

Million Dollar View!
This updated property was clean and appeared consistent with the photos. Location right on clean and family-friendly Hobie beach was fantastic. The building was quiet with lots of amenities on the property, including a nice, large pool. The unit number was not included in the welcome email but that was only a minor inconvience upon checking in. Tons of restaurants, both authentic and touristy within walking distance from the property as well. One minor issue is that only one key fob was included which required coordination with other family members to get in and out of the property, including entering and exiting the beach. I'm sure this can be resolved with the property manager to include an extra key fob. 5 Star property!

Definitely will rent the same room.
This was an excellent stay. Very convenient to everything you need: beach, stores, whatever. Balcony overlooks the beach where I was able to see my family come in and out. I do have a few suggestions for the owner. The smaller bedroom where my kids slept did not have a TV so that made bed time somewhat difficult. Small TV in that bedroom will fix that issue. Also in the first shower the glass window is not long enough and it’s soaks the floor after every shower. I suggest just a longer curtain or glass. The metal beach chairs were very rusty and at times couldn’t open or close them. I suggest the room provides plastic ones. These are little things that the owner can quickly fix. Overall this was an excellent stay and we will try to rent this same exact spot.

Absolutely perfect!!
We usually stay at a resort but wanted more than 1 room. I found pal mar on vrbo and let me tell you it was fabulous! So clean, jad everything we could have needed. Perfect location. Balcony, right on the beach. Pool was soooo nice. Crystal clear- never crowded. This was really a home away from home. Karen was so helpful with any questions i had. Thank you sooo much. There was extra towels and toiletries. There was even an ice machine and filtered water in the fridge. We made frozen cocktails in the blender for the beach!! So close to all the stores- seriously this is the perfect condo. Will definitely be back!!
