Ciudadela is located in San Juan. We rented an Airbnb at this apartment complex. There are several…read morebuildings that encompass "Ciudadela" as a whole. The complex includes access to a pool. The poor is absolutely gorgeous and decently warm. Lots of seating is available at the pool as well. Showers and a clean locker room are connected. At the bottom of the complex are several businesses including a planet fitness, coffee/cafe shop, 24 hour grocery store and more! It was definitely convenient to have a store within walking distance. There is security present at the building, we never felt unsafe during our stay. You also have to use a key fob to get into the building and to get to your floor. Parking was included and you need to get a pass and a detection device to let you into the residents side. Keep in mind we lost power almost everyday at some point. The warm water quickly disappeared once the power went off. In addition there seems to be a chemical or strong perfumes cleaner used in the building and units that have me headaches. I would not suggest booking here if you are sensitive to smells. Over all a good decently centrally located place to stay in San Juan. You definitely would need to rent a care in you stayed here to get to downtown areas and beaches.

Booked 2 Airbnb's here for my trip to San Juan. (Didn't want to book 2 but you'll find out why we…read morehad to) First looks: the condo looks very very ugly from the outside and needs lots of renovations to make it nice. Very old like. But inside the apartments range from good to bad. The pool has some renovations around the part of the kiddy pool but the regular pool was okay to use. The inside of the building gets hooot and stuffy. TIP: beautiful beach that condo leads out too BUT there is a large rock on beach states that sewage sometimes spills out of it onto the beach.. nice beach but not so happy about that... First AIRBNB: Hosted by Aida and Francisco J. DO NOT RECOMMEND. Dirty dirty dirty and gross. Felt nasty just being in there. Didn't want to sit or touch anything. Floors disgusting, hose and tray dirty and sticking out of the wall. From what? Idk maybe the shower? But why would that be there for it? Then there were dirty crumbled towels mixed in the closet with extras. The place was very dirty and filthy. There's mold, stains, etc on things. Floors are dirty. There's globs of hair by the couch. The bedsheets smelled musty- like unclean from a smelly person. The one plug in the bedroom didn't work and sparked. We were scared of an electrical fire.. the tv was broken. Just very unkept. Beware of this scam. We luckily were able to cancel our reservation and book another for a unit on the same building. Hosts were nice, but for the price it was ridiculous to start my vacation like that .... Second AIRBNB: much better unit and had a balcony with a view of the city. Was kept up much better and enjoyed the rest of the trip in San Juan. This unit also came with parking, whereas the other one didn't. Sucks how the condo looks from the outside but felt safe with a guard at the front of the gated parking entrance and another at the front door of the complex at all times. Beach right outside complex. DONT SWIM IN IT.

BEWARE!!!! This place is trash. I am sure some units are amazing. My unit should be condemned. My…read moreunit was GROSS disgusting. From the condom wrapper, to the VERY long black hair in the bathroom. The door frame is almost completely rusted out. Unit right next to the trash room. Employees are incredibly rude!!! RUINED MY HONEYMOON!!! You know who you are. Storm shutters slamming on the window all night. Now they are lying saying they offered a move. They cannot provide any correspondence of that. I was trying to book another place so my honeymoon wasn't ruined, yea that goes over well on a weekend the day of. Property and property management company take zero responsibility, and are now blaming me!! Say it's due to my personal preference as to the standards. They also wait to tell you until you get check in info to say the are "monitoring" your noise level, but NOT recording!!! I have videos, pictures and all the correspondence, as they say, I have receipts. I have set up an email: condadodelmarbeware@gmail.com Feel free to reach out. BOOK ANYWHERE ELSE!!!

We stayed here for five nights as vacation renters for Eric we found through Trip Advisor. I'll try…read moreto focus on the building instead of the specific unit. Pros: - Unit is literally on the beach. Although this is located in the heart of Condado, traffic noise is blocked out by wave sounds. - It's also located right next to the Marriott, Walgreens, and restaurants in the area. - Relatively safe. We were followed by a vagrant one evening, but he was easily spotted thanks to bright lights. We kind of forced him pass us and quickly got through the locked gate. Some randoms also asked us to let them into the building claiming they knew someone. We quickly shot them down. There is no way they could "just go up to their cousin's" as each floor has its own elevator key. - Neighbors and staff were friendly. - A studio was more than enough space for two people. Cons: - This is an older building and the exterior reflects that. During our stay, crew was refinishing the front of the apartment, blocking the view/making noise/etc. It didn't matter much as it was only during the day and we stayed out most of the time. - The elevator broke down twice during our stay. We're young and healthy, so had no problem using the stairs, but if you MUST rely on the elevator at all times, this may not be the best rental for you. - There are only two washing machines and two dryers for the whole complex. I suspect some of the units have their own.

This is a nice quaint place located right by the ocean. The views from the ocean front rooms are…read moreamazing. Beautiful views and sound of the ocean. The ocean itself in mid August was choppy. Many waves but not strong ones. The water was warm and not very clear sue to the waves. The area has many restaurants and store such as CVS. I did notice graffiti on some of the building while in was on the beach which was a turn iff. All in all in enjoyed the view and sounds of the ocean.

My iced coffee was delicious, and I really enjoyed the house yogurt. I do wish it had come with more granola for added crunch and texture, but the freshness and quality were definitely there. My friend ordered the Japanese omelette, which looked great, but she wasn't a fan. I didn't try it myself, so I can't speak to it. That said, I'd love to come back and try more from the menu!

The ceviche (not labeled as such) but SNOOK CRUDO is a way different and wonderful experience ceviche. The purple ceviche salsa is a visual and taste WOW!!! the fish texture is different than what normally expect. The black wafer is not exactly to my taste but is stunning to see in a hood way. The spinach empanadas with a bit of powdered sugar is unusual and works / combines well. 5exture and doneness is to perfection. Wait staff was pleasant and responsive. But atmosphere takes this place to a special goodness experience. The surrounding scenery adds a lot. A super nice experience for my last night in San Juan this trip. Add in beloved family for New Years / Christmas and have lifetime great memories.

Some of the lights didn't work and the entrance door scraped against a vent on the ceiling each time it was opened/closed. The door knob broke and we got locked out of the apartment until a locksmith could come and replace it. There was a TV, but no cable to watch. However, because there was Wi-Fi, we were able to use a streaming app on the smart TV. The master bedroom didn't have a TV. This apartment needs a make over. The beach isn't the greatest because of the proximity to seaweed. At certain times of the day, the seaweed invades the tide, depending on the wind. Other times, the seaweed floats east into a cove. Overall, I wouldn't visit again. I think better accommodations can be found a few minutes east for similar prices and better beaches.
