    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.

    This is the best vacation spot ever! Super great accommodations and very helpful and friendly…read morestaff. The views are incredible and the resort is in a great location to get to jobos beach.

    Where do I start? This property is AMAZING! The view is…read morebreathtaking. You honestly do feel like you are in paradise when you stay here. Let's start with "The Hill" - the house is on the top of this "hill" that will literally 'take your breath away'! It's a short walk down the hill to Tamboo, the local "water hole". Just count your $2.50 rum punches because the walk back up the hill is a killer leg workout! "Don't attempt the hill of you are too intoxicated it's interesting to say the least!" "The House:" - The house is safely gated & has a side entrance that is only accessible with a key. There is enough drive way space for 3 cars to park & they also have a spot next to the Villita (smaller apartment) above the garage.. which by the way is the cutest thing ever! The designer of the bathroom in the Villita was a genius. It's so beautiful! Ok back to "The House" The rooms are spacious. King size bed in the Master bedroom & 2 queen size beds in the 2nd room. Plenty of closet space & a dresser to store clothes. (Washer & dryer available also) The living room area has a comfy couch (pull out bed) and comfy seats the "hug you" when you are relaxing watching Direct TV or reading a book. The Master Bathroom has a double sink & the main bathroom is beautiful. Seriously who designed these bathrooms?? Amazing!! The Kitchen: I love to cook & they provide just the right amount of pots, pans, strainers, blenders, plates, utensils & serving dishes to make a homemade meal. The Pool-backyard: Private pool with a beautiful view. You can see the ocean while you are pool side & you can even hear the waves crashing on the beach. There is beautiful wildlife surrounding the Villa El Encanto. This last trip were were visited by an iguana. Tons of little lizards helping the eco system of bugs to stay away! In the morning the birds sing to you. There is an out door bathroom next to the Grill area. (Pool supplies are stored there also) outside shower to wash off the sand before you jump in the pool. The owners have placed their special touch on the outside grill/sink area. (Outside fridge to store those beers too!) You can see the sunset/sunrise on the upstairs balcony area, very romantic- if you are into that kinda thing! The cute town of Rincón was booming. So many new shops have opened up since our last trip 4 years ago. Rincón Beer Company has some pretty fantastic beers. There was an "Art walk" on Thursday night & you can buy all sorts of cool souvenirs there. Do yourself a favor - book your stay NOW! You won't regret it!

The grounds are meticulously kept and the pool is definitely a plus. Inside the house is kept spotless, and comes with everything you would need. It's a short drive to beach, and great restaurants. I would definitely stay there again!

    When booking this apartment online I was a little concerned just because it is not a regular hotel…read moreand it was run by an individual which made me nervous, however, Carina was AWESOME! She was great when I first emailed her and she responded quickly. I had some general questions before we went on our trip and she was always very helpful and answered them quickly through email. When driving to the apartment we were a little leery of the area near this neighborhood, but when we arrived we found that it was a nice gated community in San Juan. I am not a fan of San Juan at all, it tends to be a little to scary for me. However I felt completely fine staying in this apartment, actually I loved it! She met us at the key box and showed us around and let us know all the good places to eat and go in the area. She was very helpful! About the apartment, the patio was amazing and I found fresh limes every day, the bed was a normal bed that we slept fine on. My son slept on the pull out futon and was fine each night. IT was very clean, we never even saw bugs or anything. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking, also dishes and silverware. There was a fridge and a microwave and also a coffee pot. During our 5 night stay, Carina texted us to say good morning a few times and gave us info on the weather and how the beach was looking. She also helped me a lot through texting whenever I was lost or had a question, this is very much above her responsibility but she was so welcoming I felt like I could talk to her easily throughout our stay and she was always there to answer my texts. She even called a few pizza places when I asked her who delivered, to find out, that was so nice! This apartment is right down the road from the beach and also the busiest road for restaurants, everything was in walking distance, although I was a little freaked at night, we were always safe. Theres also a 24 hour supermarket right down the road, so that was nice. I highly recommend this property if you are staying in San Juan!!

    As good as it gets, indeed! Arenas Beach Apts is our favorite place to stay home away from home…read morewhen visiting Puerto Rico. Unbeatable location steps from the Ocean Park beach, cool places to eat, and a close ride to the airport. Carina and Maria are lovely hosts, giving us great suggestions for our stay and making us feel quite welcomed. The accommodations are clean, freshly and simply appointed, and it was really easy to book, check in and out, and park at the facilities. This place offers an awesome island city life experience and great value.

    I've stayed here two times and it's only gotten better since last year…read more Sara knows how to run a good place to stay. First off, you can't beat the location. You're on the beach. Second, the house is beautiful. Third, everything you need is in the house. Hammocks, stove, grill, outdoor shower to clean off after the beach, the only reason to leave is to go buy food. I can't recommend this place enough.

    While staying in the Hostile Hostel my boyfriend and I didn't have the greatest experience. One of…read morethe former owners was anything but professional (Sara). When things got tough and the shit hit the fan all Sara could do is say it wasn't her fault, when we were following house rules. Needless to say she left an incredibly sour taste. Laura was away and was not able to help us at the time. Once Laura got back from her vacation she was wonderful. Helping us anyway she could while dealing with the nightmare that is Sara. Laura refunded our stay and has been doing everything in her power to make things right, a true professional and kind person. Now that Laura has a new location in NY and has severed all ties with Sara I would be more then happy to stay with her. Below is a warning to all...The location in PR is great but the owner (Sara is TERRIBLE) stay at your own risk... DO NOT STAY AT GRATEFUL SOULS HOSTILE in PR. AWFUL HOST, beyond selfish and rude as can be. If you have an issue...Sara will hang up on you or ignore you.
