Stayed at this property for 3 nights and we had fantastic experience. Don Rafa’s Boutique Hotel exceeded my expectations. From the friendly staff to the hotel’s cleanliness, everything was phenomenal. This hotel is beautiful, the decor and the ambience is very cozy. We had a junior suite and the room was very spacious for the 2 of us. The room had a decent-sized fridge that came in handy to store leftovers from the restaurants we explored, as well as to keep our water bottles nice and cool. The location was perfect. We went for the Bad Bunny concert and this hotel was literally a 10 minute drive from el Coliseo José Miguel Agrelot. It is also located 10 minutes away from Old San Juan and like 6-7 minutes away from Distrito T-Mobile. All in all I highly recommend this hotel for anybody looking for well-located, cozy and private hotel that won’t put a hole in your pocket. We will definitely be back!

Luxury Redefined

*5/5 stars* We recently had the pleasure of staying at the Rafa Hotel in Miramar, PR, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations in every way. The rooftop pool was the highlight of my stay, offering breathtaking views of the city and a tranquil atmosphere that made it easy to unwind. The food at the hotel's restaurant was exceptional, with a wide range of delicious options to choose from. Everything was mouth-watering, with rich and savory flavors that left me wanting more. But it wasn't just the empanadas - every dish I tried was expertly prepared and presented, with a focus on fresh, high-quality ingredients. The service was friendly and attentive, and the ambiance was warm and welcoming. I would definitely recommend Rafa Hotel to anyone looking for a great dining experience and a relaxing stay in Miramar.

Everything about this hotel is so charming. The hotel is in a great area walking distance from many delicious restaurants. The area is not overly touristy. We loved the decor from the movement we walked in and the staff was wonderful. We stayed in a junior suite and it was ideal for my husband and I. I would recommend this property and will be staying here again.
