The condo looks exactly like the pictures, even more spacious than I thought it would be! Miss Nydia was very helpful with my check in/out process and was readily available with any concerns or questions I had during my 9 day stay. I stayed with my 3 year old, my 85 year old grandmother and my bf and it accommadated all of us comfortably. It's a corner apartment, so no noisy neighbors and it has one of the largest balconies on the complex, PLUS the master suite has it's own balcony! The views are of Isla Verde (to the left), the pool/ beach (to the right), and tower 2 (straight ahead). The pool and other public areas were cleaned and sanitized every day. Direct access to Borinquen beach from the complex. There are MANY restaurants, supermarkets, casinos and shops in the immediate area so no need to travel far if you don't want to. I do recommend getting a rental car to explore other sides of the island. The host also has parking accommodations, so don't hesitate to get a rental if you're staying a while.
If you're a beach bum, like me, have no worries, Miss Nydia has 2 chairs, a blanket, 2 boogy boards and coolers for you in the master closet!!! I definitely put those to good use! Speaking of the closets... THEY... ARE... HUUUUUUUGGGGGEEEEE!!!!! Lot's of room if you'll be staying a while. There's WIFI, Netflix, Disney+ and other apps on the TV, for entertainment during those rainy days spent in the condo. The air conditioning is amazingly refreshing. I need a few of those for my house here in NYC! There is one in each room- the master suite, the other bedroom and the living area.
Another VERY IMPORTANT FACTOR is that they DO have an emergency generator in the event of a black out, which we experienced. You WILL be able to park your car in the garage and ride the elevator, but the apartment will be dark. However, depending on the temperature it won't be super hot as the apartment gets LOTS of fresh air. There was a black out due to no fault of the complex or management, it was metro wide. Isla Verde, Carolina, Condado, Viejo San Juan and several other sections of the metropolitan area were affected. Security was tight and we were able to park our rental and get to our apartment safely. Power did come back on within a few hours. Was not a huge inconvenience to our family.
Overall, the condo felt like home. I want to revisit the island when things calm down a bit and aren't so "touristy".
Miss Nydia, thank you for EVERYTHING! We'll be back!!!
