My bf is a regular annual guest at Villa Tropical and made a reservation here for a week for us…read morebefore Christmas this year. Although he'd reserved a studio, when we arrived, we found we had been upgraded to a one-bedroom unit, as the studio's door was being repaired. Late check in was very easy. The property's deck is large and has a gorgeous view of the beach directly below. You really cannot beat the location of Villa Tropical on Shacks. We enjoyed drinking our coffee on the deck whilst watching the sun rise in the mornings before grabbing our gear and walking down the short flight of steps to the sand. The gift shop within the office is a major time saver, too, when you need a drink or snack but don't want to drive. The Econo supermarket is only about an 8-minute drive away, though, when you do want to do a grocery run. It was awesome having a fully stocked kitchen and being able to cook and eat in most meals. We loved grilling on the deck at sunset! The Ola Lola restaurant is a cute spot a short walk away for food or drinks when one would rather skip cooking, too, and in each room, there is a very thorough guide compiled by the management with information on where to find all kinds of things in the area, from film development to entertainment. It was extremely convenient to be able to do laundry on the premises also. The staff are super helpful and maintain VT very well. Our unit (1B) was clean and comfortable, and by the end of our stay, we had fallen into a nice, homey routine. I was sad to leave and understand why Shacks is a place so many return to every year. The beach is clean, the big waves break far from the shore, there are interesting reefs for snorkeling, many days have adequate wind for kitesurfing, and there is a friendly surfer community among those who stay in the area both longer term and seasonally.

Not a four-star "Hilton", but better! Very homey, nice & comfortable. And the views over the ocean are picture perfect! I rented the villa for my wedding guests and everyone loved it. There was enough spaces where we could socialize, but also we could each have our privacy. I rented the whole downstairs and the larger upstairs apartment facing the ocean. We actually had our rehearsal dinner upstairs for 30 people and it was very, very nice! We originally wanted to get married on the beach, but there wasn't much beach for 50 people. The tide was in most of the time we were there, so keep that in mind if you are planning a wedding there. There is also a sharp coral reef a few feet from the beach, so make sure to wear water shoes! Two of my guests got splinters from the coral. The staff were friendly and attentive. The owner was very professional to work with. He was very responsive and helpful.

There was a stand fan in the room and according to the staff it was a known issue. The bed was full of hair! Yes hair all over the pillow cases inside the bed covers on the sheets. Made for a great night between the heat and the dirty bed. Don't get me started on the ocean view, one window did not open and the glass is frosted. The two ladies working there were unfriendly and did not want to hear complaints. One told me to write a review in Yelp and on bookings, as that was the only way to tell the owner. Less than great experience for a lot of money. The beach location was nice but too far from restaurants, shopping and bar areas. Parking is at your own risk first come first served on a skiing street.

The perfect getaway we both needed. -Private balcony with beautiful ocean view, satellite TV, kitchen to prepare our meals whenever we wanted to, so quiet we could hear the waves and ocean breeze when napping in the living room. -The bed in the bedroom is a little on the small side (full instead of Queen it seems like?), but it was very comfortable. -shower with hot water that came and went: normal in rural Puerto Rico, so get used to it! It's all part of the adventure ;) besides, it's too hot most of the time anyway -CLEAN, comfortable space for up to 4 people thanks to the 2 futons in the living room: but glad we had it just for the 2 of us ;D -LOCATION LOCATION: it can't get any better than this. SO many restaurants within a short walk or ride! Our favorite though was a bakery in the nearby town of AGUADA, called PANADERIA EILEEN: just follow 413 until you see it. DELICIOUS breakfast, CHEAP sandwiches for lunch, good coffee. The best! Also, Tamboo, just a few meters away from Puntas Tree House, has unbelievable views from the top floor and great cocktails -Reno, the owner, is EXTREMELY responsive: despite being quite the busy guy. Whenever we had issues with the Wi-Fi, where to find the keys/place them, etc., he always got back to us promptly. IN SHORT, our first time in Rincon and 2nd-year anniversary were unforgettable thanks to Reno and the Puntas Tree House. We can't wait to get back: even though we might buy our own piece of heaven in this town! ;D

We called Oceanfront ahead of time and let them know this was our honeymoon, the lady offered us a room right on the ocean and of course we excitedly agreed! The price was under $100 for the night and we were so happy when we arrived. Our room's door opened right up to a deck that had stairs leading down to the crashing waves. Above us were two restaurants attached to Oceanfront. One was typical puerto rican food and the other was a sushi place. We ordered mofongo and enjoyed the beachfront views at night, with flickering candlelight at our table, and listened to the waves of the ocean while eating a delicious meal and refreshing drinks. I will definitely be returning for the views, food, and price!

I wasn't the one who booked, but the owner was very responsive whenever we needed anything. The generator was also a huge plus, especially since power outages are common in Puerto Rico. The space was comfortable and well equipped. There are mini-split AC units in the bedrooms, plenty of linens and towels and a fully stocked kitchen with everything we needed to have large meals so we didn't have to bring much. Having laundry in both units was also a big bonus, especially when traveling with kids. The layout has its pros and cons. There are two separate living spaces on each level, and the pool is accessible from the lower level, which was great. Upstairs, the hallway is a bit loud and carries noise from the common areas, so that's something to keep in mind. The hill down to the property is steep but manageable. There's driveway parking for about 3-5 cars. We also loved the wildlife. We met the two neighborhood dogs, saw lots of birds, cats, lizards, and iguanas, and heard plenty of frogs and roosters. Overall, a fun, colorful and memorable stay. Thank you for a great experience!

We waited 20 minutes for water, then had to remind the waiter for our wine we had ordered (a 30 minute wait) and then to top that off, our main course arrived an hour later. There was absolutely nothing special about this experience. No one on the staff tried to make up for any of this. We will not likely return. What a disappointment.

6/10 stars …read more Positives : Let's start with our room- we had the presidential suite: number 20. It's the largest and has a walk out balcony that ends cliff side and has lounge chairs with a view of the beach below. The walk in showers are fantastic. The oversized private hot tub is great . The grounds are nothing short of phenomenal. By far the nicest in all of Isabella. Sunsets galore and ocean views that go on for miles. In summary : If you want to come here and not interact with anyone, order room service and hang out at your 1000 sq ft suite, take dips in your private hot tub and then wash off with open doors to the nature under a rain head shower .....then this place is phenomenal. I would come again, but only under these circumstances. Let's first note that I read all the reviews on the property before I booked here. I chalked the negative ones up to just "temperamental guests"..... Unfortunately, I was proven wrong. During our stay I tried to continue to tell myself that this is island life", "things here are on island time" ...."they probably have a hard time with retaining of employees" (among other excuses). ---- But then I came to realize, I'm still paying 1000$ usd a night to stay here plus meals...That being the case - it's not acceptable at any level. I'm tired of making excuses for bad service in the service industry and continually lowering my expectations so as not to ever get upset. Negatives: 1.) Child friendly!?!: (why ? .... this is a golf resort and has no childcare or child amenity's). We couldn't seem to get away from crying babies at dinner every night. This isn't acceptable when we paid over 100$-250$ for two people at each sitting to eat. Yet Management just accepts this !?!? Night 1: we had to watch a father change a dirty diaper on the golf course in front of our ocean view at dinner! Yumm! Night 2: we had to move tables to escape the same crying infant. Take your crying baby back to the room! Annoying ! Night 3: we had to ask for another table to make sure not to sit next to the same baby at diner (again crying). And yet again... the father proceeded to change the diaper again on a communal sofa right behind us at the restaurant ( Situations like this are not stellar experiences while eating lobster and steaks by the ocean.) 2.) Dining: Each meal takes at least 2 hours from start to finish even if you order your entire meal the minute you sit down. That being said, the food is amazing. Each dish was expertly prepared. Some of the waitstaff was great (Jessica) but most were not. Some even had AirPods in their ear while serving us. Their pizza oven was broken for our entire stay due to a bad part. (Disappointed to say the least since as their website boasts about their amazing pizzas). Sometimes we went to the golf shop restaurant... (to escape the 1.5 hour or more sit down experience at the main dining restaurant) and then more problems... ultimately, we were forced to order what we got the last time we came to eat at the pro shop (since none of the employees could find the menu ....---Not acceptable for paying 1000$ per night !--- 3.) Our arrival : we were told our driver would take us to our room and show us the property and explain how everything worked. ---- He said nothing! And didn't show us the property. We were left to decipher how the resort worked, ---just a bad start. Not acceptable for 1000$ per night! 4). Cleaning : if you call the maids, they will take all day to come. They will enter and replace towels but not clean or make the bed. Then, You will have to call at least twice more for them to actually show up and change the sheets and clean. I've had better housekeeping at a Holiday Inn. 5). Room service: The one time we ordered they brought the wrong food. 6). Management: Basically, You will be told different things by different people. Nothing is consistent.- why did you not sit down with us and go over everything? Especially since you asked if we were first time guests? Let me teach you how to manage the new guests : mention how to book massages, where the fitness room was, how there was an Easter brunch on Sunday, how there was live music for our entertainment on Weekends ....and so on and so on... :( but we got none of this. --not acceptable for 1000$ per night- 7.) Upon leaving: the manager had to ask us our casa number to check us out. (crazy since she was the same person who checked us in) -really made you feel not special. Also, she was basically just a human credit card machine reader. She didn't ask us anything about our stay or how we liked it.... It just makes you feel great....like you want to come again. (especially considering you just spent what most Americans spend on a car to stay there for 7 days)! Can you Please fix this resort!!! It is amazingly beautiful and it's a shame to leave your guests so underwhelmed by the way it's run.
