Loved my time at Casa Coral! Such a positive and relaxed place. The beach is right there, and the people running it are so welcoming. The sunrise and rooftop terrace are awesome. We stayed in a private room with shared bathrooms and it was a different but fine experience. The shared kitchen is fully stocked and they provide basicas like coffee for brewing and spices for cooking. Parking is a little tricky but people are kind and helpful. Would totally stay again when exploring Luquillo and Fajardo!

Perfect location, Great Sunrises and Lovely Staff

Great hostel experience with location right on the beach. All of the staff is very friendly and accommodating. The location was ideal for watching sunrises, getting to el yunque, exploring Fajardo and quickly accessing the vieques ferry and escaping the hoards in OSJ. It is a hostel… so bathrooms are shared and noise is expected in communal areas but even when crowded this was minimal. Easy to walk to great restaurants (strongly suggest CFood in LaPared containers…a 10min walk) and home safely

This hostel is fabulous and saved me. Dont ever go to a hostel called JUNZI near the ferry. Its scam, unsafe and shady. No staff Luckily I was able to find casa coral and i had a car to drive back and forth. Sanny was amazing and gathered everyone to eat pizza on thanksgiving! We had an amazing time! Hostel is super clean and safe. They didn’t have hot water but it wasn’t a big deal. Parking is limited but it was also fine. Everyone was super friendly and lovely. There is a beautiful beach by it. Im so happy I found this place! SuperB! There’s also a great coffee shop nearby called Coffee therapy. Highly recommended!

Beautiful location

My husband chose this place over an AirBnb condo... advantages and disadvantages. We stayed in the private queen room. Location is beautiful, no doubts. Kitchen area very accessible and you're likely to meet interesting people while staying there. Always had a place to park. Laundry available for a fee. Walkable to many restaurants. Safe area. Only one night did the residents get rowdy and loud after 10 pm. I was there 5 nights, so count as a win. The room did not have a closet, so no hanging areas. Small shelves for storage and a couch for your luggage. Overall had a good visit and would do it again. Fabiola (aka Fabulous Perfect) was a pleasure. There is a small frig in the room and microwave and small 4 cup coffee pot outside in the common area.

This place is the cleanest I have ever seen . The sheets smelled like downy and even the shared bathroom was so clean . Had all the supplies and things I needed. Conveniently located near the kiosks and the food street next to the hostel is great too for breakfast and dinner. The beach was not the best because it was rough but I still loved the fresh breeze and the fact I could walk on the beach . Super clean , bathrooms were well maintained and stocked and one night the water did lose the pressure in the bathroom shower and sink but it was fine later on. Only one thing I can suggest is that they must have a WhatsApp number or something to reach out when something is needed because nobody is there in the night at the reception. Oh and I was also able to rent the car from the person that they recommended and it was all so smooth and the guy also bought the rental car to me at the hostel which I dropped off at the airport on my flight back home . Uber to the kiosks was also cheap like $8-9 so overall great location and great experience and no one can beat the price or cleaniness/coziness of this place
