The condo was clean, comfortable and spacious! The view was magnificent! The shower was wonderful! The security was comforting and the grounds were beautifully maintained. The beach access was simple and convenient! Can't wait to visit again!
The location and view from the unit was great. The bed was comfortable. The facilities were good. The beach equipment was helpful. The only issue was the hot water in the shower tripping the circuit breaker several times. For the price we couldnât beat it and we would return.
The apartment is clean and beautiful. The recreation area and beach access were fantastic. It would be nice if the pool stayed open a little later than 7pm. The only glitch in our stay was the elevators. They are under repair and not always working. Other than that, everything was wonderful.
This property was so great for my family!! The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked and the view was amazing. We used the pool and beach access every day. Susana was such a great host. She checked in to make sure everything was running smoothly and even dropped off some beach items to the apartment for my kids to use. Everyone we interacted with (tourists and locals) was so kind. We would absolutely stay here again. The only problem was the hot water went out, but it is a 2 second fix, so it didnât negatively impact our trip.
Great location. Clean. Beautiful. Slight inconvenience that gate to beach is only open from 8 AM to 7 PM. Outside of those hours you have to walk all the way around the block to get to beach.
The front ocean view was great. The apartment is not for handicap. Does not even have safety bars nor the required spacing to go within rooms in the apartment. Kitchen drawers, forks, spoons, knifes and other items in all drawers were not clean⊠we had problems with water heater. Braker kept turning off.
This was a nice place but there was renovating going on in the apartment directly next to us. Hammering and sawing started every day between 8/9am making it impossible to relax. I suggest any future renters confirm with the manager there will be no similar renovations during their stayâŠ.that is if they answer you. I reached out to the manager asking if they would consider a partial reimbursement but got nothing but crickets.
Building is a little sketchy at first it is a little on the older side and the patio door was broken so it did not lock which made me a little nervous at first but unit is on 17th floor, so after a day i kind of got use to my surroundings so it wasnât a deal breaker for me. The unit was nice and clean, however it could have had more amenities like some coffee or cooking utensils, there was a bar of soap, shampoo (no conditioner), laundry soap was provided there was only 1 dryer sheet though, but again not a deal breaker once you consider location and price and all the pros. All in all not a bad stay at all, this part of the island is soooo beautiful and the view is to die for!!!
The time we spent in Puerto Rico was great however the apartment had issues. No working hot water, the owner said the tankless unit need to be replaced and obviously she knew this. If you want to enjoy the balcony, you must turn off the mini-split A/C units. The reverters are on the patio blowing heat on you. And finally, the building is in need of repairs, only one working elevator, missing windows and the ceiling sheetrock is falling in the hallways.
My wife and I reserved this property during our second time visiting the paradise island of Puerto Rico. We absolutely loved our experience. Beautiful ocean view from the room that really is priceless to see the sunrise and sunset. The location is perfect not too far from the urban environment of San Juan which is a 40 minute drive and only a 10-15 minute drive to el yunque and to the ferry to Culebra and Vieques. We really enjoyed the very private beaches in the Luquillo area which are walking distance from the property. Only thing that we can say was missing from our stay was the fact that they were completing maintenance on the pool and was closed but honestly that did not even bothered us because we had the beautiful ocean instead. The property owner was extremely nice and very attentive to us while we were there. She even allowed us to stay a bit longer during our checkout day since our flight out of San Juan didnât leave until later that evening. The staff at the property are also super friendly. I would definitely recommend this property to family and friends and we will also keep it in mind for another visit. Five stars all the way!!!!
We had a wonderful stay at this Playa Azul property the first week of December. (Wed-Sunday). We had visited the San Juan area before and were looking for something on the east coast; this fit our needs perfectly. The building is used to having renters and it is all very well organized. The view is spectacular, and the balcony area was great for sitting in the morning or evening.
The unit was very clean, bed was comfortable, and the water pressure in the shower was great. The kitchen was basic, but fine for cooking breakfast, which is what we mainly used it for. Right across the street is an Amigos grocery store. The size of the living area is spacious and was just fine for two people. We had no issues with the air conditioning.
The owner provides beach equipment and the beautiful beaches are walkable or a very short drive. Also just a 15 minute drive to Fajardo, where the boating excursions (Tobias) leave from; El Yunque (H&J) is also nearby as well. Also some good local eateries in the area.
The building is in need of some renovations, comments about the elevators are accurate. However security was always very helpful in letting us know the status of the elevators. Regarding the comment about the stray cat, we only saw a couple outside the building - you will see many stray gatos and perros throughout Puerto Rico, so this should not be a surprise.
I would highly recommend this property for exploring the eastern part of Puerto Rico. We look forward to visiting again!
Stayed 3 days- Stupid to complain to an uncaring landlord but YOU SHOULD KNOW THE TRUTH!
The Location:Property located in secure high rise w/ security. Lots of local restaurants and bars close by which were wonderful. Lots of amenities including pool- tennis courts- basketball courts- handball court and beach access. View from 17th floor spectacular view of playa azul-location is convenient to kiosks- beaches- fajardo and El Yunque. Property manager prompt & easy to get ahold of- talk to.
The Unit: Way dated. Cheap outdated furniture, hard bed with 3 ft long pillows. Sheets were stained and rms were dirty and dusty. Items stored in kitchen cabinets that belonged to someone else. Stick of old butter in fridge. I only stayed thurs-fri and Sat morning. The shelves in fridge were completely rusted out. Could not even keep food in it. Moldy shower curtain in bathroom. Remote for living rm TV did not work. Took aprox 10 hrs for the ac to actually cool the unit. Hallways smelled of trash as trash kept and disposed of just up the hall. Window in bedroom nearly impossible to open. Honestly, Stray Cats in entry lobby and at other entrances to building. Hallways not taken care of with peeling paint and even some broken windows 17 stories up. Elevator looks like it its about to fall apart and literally looks like your standing on plywood. Owner of building just does not care and it shows. I own my own contracting business and my wife is a pastor- so when I talk about problems with a property- I am honest and know what Iâm talking about. Not worth the money- feel ripped off.
We absolutely loved this place, it was exactly what we needed for 2 adults and 2 teenagers. The pool was absolutely amazing and the building is so close to things that we needed in walking distance such as multiple food options, a small convenience store right across the street and ample parking. The only thing not so great I can say is the building was getting work done in the elevators so only one was working and they didnât finish peeling the plastic off of the outside of the elevator and it started peeling off and made it look awful on the outside which is not the owners fault but the building shouldâve made sure they removed it because it just looked bad. Other than that perfect stay and very close to the marina as we went to Culebra for a day. I will definitely be back.
We had a wonderful experience. With a little difficultly getting into the condo, Susana was very helpful over the phone and we got settled very quickly. We enjoyed a safe, cleanly condo with a great view of the water and easy access to the beach.
We had a wonderful 10 day stay in Luquillo. The condo is ideally located. Itâs in close proximity to beaches, El Yunque, and the wonderful little town of Luquillo.
Additionally, the host, Susana, was very responsive whenever we needed to reach out to her.
Enjoy!
