라 에스메랄다 PR

This is a great place to stay and we enjoy it.

If I were to describe Puerto Rico in general with one word, it would be "clean." There is almost no litter on the street, and certainly very little on any of the beaches we visited. La Esmeralda PR is no exception. Our suite was spotless. I would caution visitors that the building's promotional photos are old. Our unit had a lot of wear and tear, from a broken chair leg to a cabinet door that wouldn't close to chipped floor tiles. Rusted metal outside, which I think is unavoidable in that climate. We rented their beach chairs and umbrellas and one umbrella was broken and the beach chairs were old. Turns out beach chairs and umbrellas are not the done thing on the local beach. I had to ask for sheets for the single bed three times. We couldn't unlock the gate to park our car and wound up with a $50 parking ticket after being told we could park outside of the gate. The owners claim they unlocked it for us but that was not our experience.

Great location. Clean and cute. Good instructions for accessing the place.

The location was great, very close to everything. The room was clean. The bed was kind of uncomfortable and the light from the AC unit lights up the whole room at night which makes it a little hard to sleep. Overall, I’d stay there again.

Room was clean, no staff present, place was locked up like a prison but seemed safe enough. walking distance to beach and restaurants, bars, Walgreen's, laundry etc. I would recommend to younger people who are fit but not to retired people who may have walking difficulties. Driving is insane in San Juan and this area was no different.
