“Pretty and Peaceful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

My wife and I recently spent almost two weeks at the Blue Boy Inn, in part based on Trip Advisor recommendations. We had visited Puerto Rico before but wanted to get away from San Juan and other large urban areas. Marc has created a relaxing oasis in a corner of the friendly small town of Rincon. Lovely gardens with the gentle sound of water everywhere, peaceful corners for reading and napping, and great breakfasts every morning. There is plenty to see and do in western Puerto Rico, especially if you rent a car (get a GPS!), but much of the time were happy just to spend time at the Blue Boy.

Room Tip: Rooms 4 and 5 have smaller outdoor sitting areas and have the most people passing by. Rooms 1 and 3...

“The best!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

people found this review helpful

Blue Boy Inn is great. A beautiful B&B. Gorgeous gardens full of flowers and lily ponds and little alligator ponds, bird cages with all sorts of beautiful birds, a gorgeous huge swimming pool, large outdoor living room with many cozy couches to lounge, eat, nap, etc. The best breakfast at any B&B anywhere cooked by Mark the owner. Sara and Mark are wonderful, friendly, helpful hosts. Outdoor barbques that guests cooked on every night. The beach is a block away and simple but lovely. Mark supplies beach chairs, umbrellas, snorkeling equipment, etc. It is like being home in Rincon.

“Magical, relaxing experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

We booked at the Blue Boy Inn based on the many stellar reviews on TripAdvisor and they didn't lie! The Blue Boy Inn is a gem in the sleepy surf town of Rincon, PR.
In list form, what we loved:
Marc and Sara are lovely and helpful. They emailed good directions to the hotel before we left and greeted us when we arrived. It's relaxing and friendly with them around.
The place is beautiful! We were in room #2, which wasn't big but had good closet space and was clean and pleasant. The gardens are so nice, there are tons of spaces around for lounging and relaxing.
The animals were neat--a small falcon and a turtle and some cats and many birds, it was cool to have them there but they're not intrusive at all.
The location is perfect, easy to find and within walking distance the beach and 2 fun bars and decent restaurants. The Black Eagle has great sunset happy hours and a funny crowd of local surfer dudes.
Breakfast with fresh fruit, good coffee and crepes every day--so good.
Free access to beach chairs, snorkel equipment and things like bug spray and aloe that you probably need but forgot.
Easy parking, friendly fellow guests, good attitudes when the power temporarily went out (it came back after a few hours).
In short, I'd recommend this place to anyone from my parents to total strangers. Thank you Marc for a great stay, we'll definitely be back!

Room Tip: #2 was quiet and private with a small outdoor deck with 2 chairs. The other rooms have bigger patios...

“A lovely Stay in Rincon”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

My Husband and I were looking forward to a quiet, restful holiday in Rincon. I chose the Blue Boy Inn based on the Trip Advisor comments. I can say we were so pleased with the B & B, and the attentive service of Marc and Sara. We are very seasoned travellers and this was simply one of the best expereinces we have had. The B&B is interesting in that it has lovely gardens, small birds and turtles to watch, lovely pool area and outdoor cooking area. Marc was so thoughtful and attentive and was clearly excited to help us with our exploration of this wonderful part of Puerto Rico.
We plan on returning next year and have already started to speak to our friends to join us.

I have stayed at small hotels around the world and The Blue Boy is at the top of my list. I am looking forward to returning and bringing friends and family. Marc has created an amazing collection of charming areas to sit and read, gather with friends, swim, snack or do what ever you want. The Rincon has much to offer and Marc is located in a most convenient setting.
