We leave for the night and my dad had a heart attack less than an hour later. He had mine, my sister's and my son's phone numbers all in record and they insisted they called but couldn't get ahold of anyone. It wasn't until the next morning when my son went to see him that we found out that he had suffered a heart attack and couldn't be resuscitated after one hour trying. It was the worse experience ever. I would rate with zero stars if possible.

The emergency staff were absolutely horrible. First, the administrator or supervisor at the…read moreemergency was wearing clothes that exposes her cleavage. Second, most staff do not speak English. Third, the staff were not knowledgeable of how insurances work. Frankly, they either genuinely don't know how to bill insurances or they are lazy to bill insurances. Instead, they are very desperate to collect money first before seeing the patient in the emergency room, which should not even be the case because it is illegal to reject services to patients at the emergency room with or without insurance. Fourth, they did not prioritize our situation despite the urgency. It was almost like they were discriminating us because the patient is African American. Fifth, the staff were not helpful nor holistic. It seems like they see patients by color and money. Overall, this hospital has a lot of management and administrative things to work on. What a shame for an "exclusive-private" hospital. Do better!

The church, City hall and fountains are all there as well as the Parque de Bombas which is a historic firehouse in Ponce. Around the Plaza there are hotels, restaurants and plenty of shops around the plaza. It is a place to see and be seen.

The Plaza is very clean and safe, kudos to the municipality of Ponce.

I've been coming to Culebra since I was a kid. It's one of my favorite places. It's a small beach…read moretown where the general vibe is open some days, closed others (tbh, that can be said of most small towns across the globe). This is a place to leave tour worries and stresses behind and relax. There is lots to do and nothing to do, depending on what are looking for. There are several places to stay in or near town, and also removed and secluded. There are a couple of good restaurants, bars, shops, and grocery stores. Most people speak English as well as Spanish. And they are friendly and laid back, so be patient and chill. This is a great place for family vacation, fun with friends, and romantic getaways. I suggest renting a vehicle, jeep or go-cart (not sure they still rent scooters), to be able to get around easier and enjoy the island better. Visit several beaches. They differ. Some are better for relaxing, others for snorkelling/diving, or surfing. If you don't have a boat you can hire a water taxi or charter a private boat to get you to islands like Cayo Luis Peña or Culebrita, OR maybe Dakiti, or any other hard to get to by land places. There are several businesses that offer snorkeling/diving rentals and tours, kayaking, etc... There are two ways to get here: boat or plane. If you don't have a private boat you can take the ferry from Ceiba. It is cheap but may be stressful trying to get a ticket and/or deal with the port authority employees. Flying is faster and less stressful but more expensive. If you fly, I suggest Air Flamenco or Vieques Airlink. They fly out of Isla Grande Airport in San Juan (near the T-Mobile District) or from Ceiba. Ceiba is cheaper and faster but you need a vehicle to drive all the way to Ceiba. I don't recommend flying from SJU. Too stressful, unless you are already in the airport. Cape Air also flies to Culebra, and in any case you can't get a reservation anywhere you can fly with Taxi Aereo. Either choice you make will be worth it in the end... unless fate has damned to have a bad time... in that case there is nothing you can do but order a Bushwacker, Painkiller, or beer and get wasted.

We grabbed a taxi van and he ended up serving as a tour guide to us, which he was happy to do. He took us to a few different places with pleasure. At the last stop he had picked up his son and drove us around with no problem. I really loved he was so personable. In Vieques you see horses all around, which was so beautiful; we really enjoyed that. We went to two beaches. We loved the second one, which was Playa Caracas. The sand was so white, and soft. The water waves were calm and warm. We had so much fun and made some friends while in the water. We ended up trading up drinks. If you go to Vieques and need transportation contact Yo-Yo's Taxi US DOT 3914032. Phone number 787-585-9560, he is the best of the best.
