Room was just OK. Neighborhood not so much. House next door is ruins. Steps away is liquor store with drunk people around (nothing happened to us). Could use a better mattress. After 2 nights my back is killing me. Would not recommend.

The room was very nice and close to the center of loquillo where a lovely square surrounded by restaurants is found. Only a block from the beach. My only complaint is the excess noise nearby. One night giant speakers in the back of a car trunk blasted music from the corner on the square until almost midnight. There is a reason that there are packages of earplugs on the nightstand. Use them! Every night you hear the Coqui (a native frog) make its distinctive noise most of the night and awaken to that in the morning. Again the earplugs. A fantastic dinner spot within walking was Sama. Highly recommend. Also note that no parking is included with this rental. The night of a festival on the square proved difficult to obtain parking without driving around searching. Two good breakfast places nearby. La Fonda in the square was decent but overpriced IMO but you need reservations at both evening restaurants I mentioned. Overall a great trip. Highly recommend the bioluminescent tour in Fajardo.

The rooms were extremely noisy. Very loud music from two bars up the street flows through the single paned jalousie windows till 2 am. Also, a steady stream of very loud motorcycles and cars cruise past till a bit later. Right on the main drag.

Staff was quick to respond and very helpful through text. Very clean room, note there are ear plugs to use for sleep. With that said understand you are staying in a local community. They party all night, and you will hear it. We didn't mind. Room had beach chairs and towels for use which was a great extra!

The room was big, clean, had 2 beach chairs, towels, umbrella fridge, microwave, coffee maker, ear plugs because the street is loud (bars and cars), cute rooftop deck with ocean view, seating, listen to frogs, 🐸 my only complaint is the bed is NOT a king, but 2 twins pushed together & I got stuck in center-pillow top mattress was not comfortable.

We had a wonderful stay! The interior was beautiful and very welcoming, and the room had all the essential amenities, all very clean and well maintained. The front patio with a beach view created such happy, relaxing vibes, and the service throughout our stay was excellent. The two days we spent here left an everlasting impression. We especially appreciated the cute kitchen and utensils, TV/internet, and the beach chairs—such thoughtful touches. Would absolutely love to stay here again.

Room was decent but the sound was terrible.it felt like you are sleeping on the road. We stayed in room 2. Its facing the road. You hear ever car and every bike going on the road. And some one started playing loud music at 10.30 PM and continued most of the night. I am a sound sleeper usually can sleep any where but couldnt sleep here even for a minute.

Beautiful apartment with fun decor and great outdoor space. Very clean with small kitchenette. Only downside is ambient noise from nearby pub that played loud music past 11pm, and cars blasting music as they drove by. Nothing the owner can fix, but fyi.
