“New Years Eve vacation trip”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012

We stayed 2 nights December 30th and 31st. The place was very pleasant and relaxing. People were very warm and friendly. The room was clean and roomy. The place has a family oriented atmosphire. The staff were very hospitable. The overall experience was great. I recomend this place if you are looking to relax and to enjoy the outdoor setting. The tropical plant add to harmony you feel when you are there, at a good price. we will be back soon.

“Great outdoor areas...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 November 2011

If you're looking for a place with beautiful outdoor areas, hammocks to relax in, lots of greenery, and a very pleasant atmosphere and nice pool, this is the place. Much more outdoor room than probably anywhere else in town, and the great weather of southwest Puerto Rico. If service and a nice room are important to you, forget it. We were the only guests for the three nights we were there. There was nobody else there, which felt a little funny in Puerto Rico, even though they insisted it was a very safe area (which it appears to be). When I say no one else was there, there were no staff there at all. They showed up for a few hours during the day. The rest of the time we had the entire place to ourselves, which was pretty special in many ways, especially if you don't like crowds. But forget getting anything at the restaurant. We arrived on Sunday, when it supposedly was open, but sat there for 20 minutes with no one in sight, so went into town to eat. The rest of the time it was closed. We were fortunate enough to have a helpful staff member offer to move a small refrigerator into our room, which really saved us (ask for one if you go!). We managed to get ice a couple times, but forget about any maid service, or much of any other kind of service for that matter. I like light, so I really liked our room (#8) on the second floor, with big windows on two sides, one looking out through the beautiful vegetation to sunrises and the sea in the distance. Unfortunately, there were both blinds and curtains on the windows which were almost impossible to open. And there were no screens, so with the plentiful mosquitos (bring some Off), opening the windows was out of the question. No fan in the room either, so we were left with the noisy air conditioner, which really would not have been necessary at night. The room was small, but I thought pleasant (my wife wasn't as excited with it). Bed coverings looked worn and one sheet had blood stains on it. The toilet and shower sit up on a platform in the bathroom (to make room for the pipes), but the bathroom was adequate. Chickens and cats made regular rounds through the grounds, and there were horses next door. The pool was beautiful, though chilly. If you can put up with the quirks described here, and like being outdoors, you will enjoy it. It's about a 5 minute, fairly pleasant, walk from town. We took the $6 trip to the bioluminescent bay, which they say is offered every night. If you do that, bring a swimming suit so you can get into the water (no wet suit needed). I had a neat experience in the water with the bioluminiscence (they give you about 5 minutes in the water). Otherwise, from the boat, you really don't see much. For $30 apiece they take you out in the boat and you get a kayak to spend about a half hour in the bay - it's worth it if you're really into seeing it. Be aware that the town (La Parguera) seems to shut down during the week, so many things are only open on weekends. The best, most reasonable, food we found was at Reef Pop, right across from the plaza.

Dear Customer, thanks for taking the time to provide feedback from our guesthouse. It was surprising for us though that your wife was not comfortable with the room. Your booking was for one night and you stay additional nights!! It is important for us to receive immediate feedbacks when our customers are not satisfied. I'm sure we would of helped you right away. Regarding the staffing I want to clarify that we do not operate 24/7 yet we operate daily. We apologize if this was not properly communicated. Thanks for doing business with us. In La Jamaca we care for our customers and we will be more than glad to welcome you again!!

“It was amazing private get away.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 November 2011

I stayed with my family for the first time this past April. It was really meant to be a three day stay but ended up staying for eight days. The rooms are comfortable and the staff made you feel as if you were staying at your favorite relatives house. We love the pool and the baby play area since we had our two year old with us. Since this isn't a huge hotel you feel like the staff is there only for you. We can't wait to go back since the day we were checking out the owner came to wish us a safe trip back state side and told us to remember that now in the paraguera we have family. We hope to see you soon
Ms. Rosado. Please have my chuleta can-can ready.

i always been sketical about little inn, because of the service and the amennities, but in the Jamaka my experience was so great, am planning to go back again. The place was full of guest and you dint notice. Great space in the room, great beds and awesome pillowsm great food. The only problem that i have was with the mosquitos, but is nothing that a little of OFF cannot resolve. I recomend this inn to everybody.

“Cheap, but I'd stay elsewhere next time.”

It was not horrible, but the rooms and amenities were very spartan. If you think of it as a summer camp, then you may find it to be just what you wanted. Staff was nice, but less professional than what you would find in a larger hotel. It had everything I needed for one night though I suppose.

It did have better wifi then most places I tried in PR.

Dear Customer,
Thanks for posting your review. I will respectfully have to disagree with you when you mention that staying in la Jamaca is like summer camp. Our rooms comply with Puerto Rico tourism requirements meaning that they are been inspected anually and in the case we dont comply we cannot operate. Please dont compare our property with a five star hotel because it cannot be compared. Requirements are much different and our intention has never been to sell our rooms as such. It is of general knowledge that the more the customer asks for the higher the price!! We try to keep our costs low providing the basic needs for our customers, in a very nice environment were customers can come, stay in a clean and nice place, have some drinks and have a great time! Also like we always tell our customers, let us know your needs and we will try to do our best to satisfy you.

Regards Management.
