everything about this place was exceptional. Pictures do not make this location justice. The suite was larger than pictures. Cleanliness was impeccable and your own private garden was more than what we could have ever asked for they provided sunscreen, beach towels, everything that you need for that walk to the beach if I ever go back to Puerto Rico. This is where I would love to stay again.

The location was great, very close to everything. The room was clean. The bed was kind of uncomfortable and the light from the AC unit lights up the whole room at night which makes it a little hard to sleep. Overall, I’d stay there again.

The property is a true gem.A tropical zen getaway paradise with all the real home vibes: Modern industrial bedoom that leads into a quiet, private magical garden (w a pond) that encircles the whole area. Ample closet space. The kitchen/ living area just perfect for sitting and making coffee /food. Large fridge great AC w ceiling fans as well. I cannot reccommend enoough and I will be lookign to satay there in the future. Location is key as you are 2 blocks right from the beach and a few minutes from Ocean Park center. Prime & safe. One of the best stays ever!
