How “El Capitán” got its name:

The living room of El Capitan has a seafaring motif and feel. And the bedroom has the floor build up, with two steps, so that the bed and area around it is elevated, and from the bed itself you can see the ocean all the time. And we figured that this is what a captain would want, being able to survey his domain - the open ocean all the way out to the horizon - at all times. So we called the property El Capitán

The minute we unlocked the door and saw that balcony view facing the ocean we knew we'd made the right choice. The convenience of the location is superb. The apartment is comfy with a rustic, lived in feel, there were unexpected provisions (coffee, milk, juice, bread, eggs, beverages) that were a generous touch.

Good view, unit as described, with the following challenges: bathroom sink did not drain well (this was also noted in a review from 2023), sliding door to patio was hard to close (also noted previously). I lost fob to one set of keys while running (it was very worn down so that I could not see numbers for management), label to keys also ready to fall off of ring. That was very frustrating, especially since I was told I owe additional money to replace. Fobs/Key rings should be inspected regularly and replaced prior to failure. Unit was in a nice location, and we felt secure there. Check-in was very difficult. We suggest sending directions on how to get in initially PRIOR to arrival, as fob entry is necessary to get into parking area. This would have saved us about an hour. We appreciated the start-up foods/drinks/TP and dishwashing liquid. Overall, nice place!

We loved having a condo on the beach for our stay in PR. Home away from home. We were welcomed with a few staple food items that were so appreciated due to the fact that we landed at 9pm. We were able to forgo a grocery run until the next day based on the items they had waiting for us. Everything is as pictured and clean. We enjoyed our stay. A little noisy when windy (often) as the wind seems to howl through the patio door and right through the hallway door as well. They had beach supplies and bathroom supplies all stocked and ready for use. Thank you!

Beautiful view from the balcony

Overall it was a nice space but needed updating. Kitchen was well equipped. Lighting during the day was great but at night it was very dim and difficult to see. The bed is at the top of two 10" steps. I would caution anyone w/ knee, hip or balance issues to NOT stay here. We used towels and pillows to help us see the steps when getting off the bed. The beach chairs were very much appreciated. Also, do NOT rent from Charlie's Car rental, whom the Marco Polo corp recommends. Although they were very efficient they crudely paint over previous damage. So make sure to take pics when you rent and then when you turn your car into the rental. Charlie's will ask where you are staying...DO NOT TELL THEM! Better to pay the extra $$ and rent from a reputable car rental. We used our plastic/rubber cups as we were unable to find a vacuum or dust pan. Had we broken anything we would have been unable to clean up the glass.

Stay Away!!!

Location is great, the view is amazing but underneath lies TROUBLE!!! My fiancé and I both were bitten by begs bugs DAY 1!! We assumed it was misquotes bites boy were we wrong!! Day 2 was even worse they ate get back up all was down to her buttocks and legs… That ruined the entire trip, spending an entire day at doctor, then being too paranoid to sleep on any furniture so we bunked up with a cousin the remainder of our trip.. Wasted time and money and no one from upper management has issued an apology, reimbursement, or anything of the sort! They stopped communicating with me as soon as I reached out about my problems.. Please be aware!!! My advice don’t stay here!!!
