Due to the protest across the street at the El San Juan Hotel, that started at 8 am and lasted all day until 10 pm, our vacation was interrupted every morning and through out the day during the time we were in the Condo (I certainly agreed with the reason for the protest due to the firing of 70 employees from the Casino that closed and these employees were promised the casino would re-open and they were lied too, the Local Union got involved) but this made for interrupted sleep and relaxing while on vacation, considering we are Seniors who wanted to relax, sit on the balcony and enjoy the view. I'm sure if we had known in advance, there was a protest starting the day after we arrived and lasted the full 15-days we were there, we would have picked another location.
The condo was nice, as I said great location, very quiet building, nice pool area, the owner Melba was reachable and answered questions, her Mother met us on arrival and gave us the keys, Suri was a friendly person. As I told the owner my only complaint was the mattress, it was not comfortable. The owner was apologetic and promise to look into getting a new one, the Condo had everything as stated in the profile, she even added a DVD player for our stay, the kitchen was stocked w/dishes, glassware, utensils, pots/pans. Well stock in towels, sheets, iron, beach chairs and wide open closet space, very clean and plenty of space to move around for 2-people (there was someone in the property above our unit doing some remodeling work and a few days during our stay there was noise) all in all we had a great stay at the property (again with the exception of the protest at the El San Juan Hotel which I was told would last until the end of March)
I visit PR every year but by far this location was better, had more to offer and close to other major restaurants, the beach, stores etc.
I would recommend the property and location, Melba is a great owner, I did not get a chance to meet her but she was always friendly over the phone and always responded to my txt. The Security personnel at the Condo were great, we went to the grocery store on our first night there and on our return to the Condo the security guard got us a push cart to carry our bags to the apartment, for me that went above what was called for and I was thankful, both women were always friendly.
