Well what can I say at first when we got to The Rose, we were kind of skeptic about it. Since the road was really small and kind of worried us since we were going to get back really late from a party at the brewery in Mayaguez. But we decided that to give it a chance, thank goodness we did. The place is great, for what you pay you get free breakfast (Tip is not included), free wifi, free parking, full kitchen equipment with utensils. In other words, all you need is your clothes and food supplies if your want to cook (There's a large variety of places to eat ). Also before I forget the view is incredible and at night you can see a bunch of stars. The only regret we have is that we couldn't spend more time in The Rose, we looked for a place to stay and crash after the party but it ended up being much more than that. This is a great option to consider is your staying in Rincon or around the area.

First time visiting Rincon and I selected the English Rose based on the many positive reviews it received. It definitely lived up to my expectations. What a lovely bed & breakfast situated in the hills. We stayed in the large Chester Suite, which is a large apartment that occupies the entire third floor. The decor is simple and pleasant. Rooms are stocked with plenty of towels and basic toiletries. The views are wonderful. The suite overlooks the pool and behind that is the hills and then the ocean. Lovely during the day and at night. Very quiet except for the weekend breakfast service and even then all you hear is a little bit of customers' chatter. The breakfast is also fantastic. There are many creative options and even I, a difficult vegetarian, filled my stomach each morning with fresh fruits, fresh juice and delicious fresh bread. The waitstaff are also great...very friendly and service-oriented. Guests are always a priority at breakfast so waiting times are always minimal. The location is very convenient...it's a short 5 min drive to all of the beaches. The roads in the hills are a little difficult to navigate (lots of steep climbs and windy roads) so getting to the English Rose, at least the first time, is definitely a bit challenging...but we were used to it after the first day. The owners, Ruth and Jethro, are lovely...they pay attention to small details and it really shows. I went to Rincon to take surf lessons but the waves were unexpectedly too big for a beginner like me so I will definitely stay here when i make a return trip. Thanks for a lovely time.

We have had the Chester suite three times and it has been the very best vacation that we have ever had. The room is large and the view is great. The breakfast is the best in the world and we have been to most places in the world. We have already booked in 2011 and 2012 can not be beat. Ruth and Jetro go out of their way to make your stay the very best.

Getting there after dark was a little scary, because of the narrow and very curvy mountain roads. But unlike other reviewers, we found the building without any trouble, b/c of the great directions provided by (B&B owner) Ruth ahead of time. We rented the Hamlet Room, the smallest available. It's a studio with a full-sized bed, ample closet space, bathroom, small sofa, TV, kitchen space with a microwave, small fridge, coffee maker, and basic cooking/eating equipment. The whole place was very clean and cheery. They even looked after the little details by stowing an umbrella, small cooler, and beach towels in the room. The Hamlet is located next to the slightly larger Brunel Room, which includes a full size stove/oven and fridge, and a bedroom with a door. If you intended to do a lot of your own cooking while in Rincon, the Brunel would be the best option. But for just the two of us, the Hamlet was just right. Our room looked out over the small and well-maintained pool, and beyond that was a spectacular view of a mostly unpopulated valley and then the ocean. I suggest having a rental car if you're staying at La Rosa Inglesa, since it's a bit of a hike to walk into town (and down those aforementioned narrow, curvy roads), but this is the perfect spot for those who want to get away from the bustle of beach-side hotels. Everything is very close, so you can get just about anywhere you want to go in Rincon within a 5-10 minute drive. As others have reported, breakfast is fantastic at La Rosa Inglesa. The staff always made sure that we were seated immediately, even if there were many people (who were not staying at the B&B) ahead of us in line. They had fresh-squeezed juices every morning and great local coffee. The entire experience was wonderful, and we look forward to getting back to La Rosa Inglesa again.
