I was initially concerned after reading some of the previous reviews, but our experience turned out to better than expected. It was clean and staff was helpful and friendly. Yes, the room was on the smaller side with a compact bathroom, but given the significantly lower price compared to other options in the area, it felt like a fair trade-off. Let’s be honest, when you’re exploring a vibrant destination like Puerto Rico, who plans to spend much time in their room anyway? We were out adventuring from early morning until late at night, so the room size wasn’t a big deal for us.
The water temperature was a bit inconsistent, but we figured out that turning the dial to around 3-4 o’clock helped make it warmer. We noticed the water tended to be hotter at night and lukewarm in the mornings, so timing your showers might help. One thing to note is that breakfast isn’t provided, so plan accordingly—there are plenty of great local spots to grab a bite nearby. Additionally, there’s no on-site parking, which could be a minor inconvenience if you’re renting a car.
Overall, for the price and location, this place is a solid choice if you’re looking for a budget-friendly spot to crash after a day of exploring. There are cool beaches to walk to nearby and fun activities. You can also get a scooter and ride down Ashford Avenue and will see many restaurants. Be sure to look for sea turtles and manatees when walking across the bridge. Just keep in mind the minor quirks, and you’ll be fine!
