Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Plenty of space for my trip and even included a gated-off parking area for me! Fairly close to the populated city area, but not close enough to walk there. Decent restaurants in the area. While not the most luxurious, the shower has hot water, the AC unit keeps the room cool, and my room had 4 levels of security: three gates and a deadbolt. Definitely recommend!

La Esmeralda was fantastic for the price! My only gripes were the WiFi was kind of mid and the bathroom was a little dirty. The area around it had a ton of restaurants, we were able to try a new restaurant for breakfast lunch and dinner every day and still feel like we didn’t try everything. The AC works which was something I was worried would not be true when we got there. Bed was clean, towels and sunscreen provided so we didn’t have to buy them. Overall great experience and the staff was very responsive.

I liked the place but the room needs an upgrade the mattress you can feel the springs under, the TV is very small compared to the big wall. The staff is very friendly and professional. There’s a coffee maker but no coffee available only instant coffee. No sugar only few sugar free.

Great location. Walking distance from the beach, which was very clean, and so very nice. Very clean apartment, very attentive staff. Checked in on our stay to make sure we didnt need anything for the remainder of our stay. The best thing for me, was it was walking distance from my favorite breakfast/coffee shop in Puerto Rico (the coffeeteria)!!!!!! Would definitely stay here again! Thank you for helping make our vacation amazing!!!

The apartment is super close to the beach and the property is very nice and clean, however unfortunately there is no screen door which makes it impossible to leave the door open at night and the deck itself has no sun roof so using it during the day is kinda out of the question. Other than this the stay was very enjoyable and we would come back again
