Nice week in the Bohemian End of the Island !!

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 25 Feb 2022
We have been coming to Puerto Rico for the past 13 winters - usually late January to early February - less crowded then and resort costs are lower.

We usually stay in 4 star resorts in Rio Grande / Fajardo area but we also like Isabela/ Rincon area.

Since we came longer this year (almost 2 weeks) and first 7 days were here. The location is great on Shacks beach which is a haven for kite surfers and wind boarders with ample wind.

We rented a 2BR in Q6 - that was clean - but modest. small kitchen with ample appliances and dishes and cookware .... which we used very little. also a nice BBQ Grill and tables on a patio beachside. The AC was great at night but breeze was
sufficient during the day.

They have beach towels, a few chairs and outside showers to rinse off. Isabela has the best beaches and a nice bike trail - Pasea Lineal and the couple who own Bike rental - Pedalea are great.

Lastly - try to get to the office before they close at 6PM and it is a little hard to find a first - put in OLA LOLAS bar in GPS and right around the corner ... and OLA LOLAS is a great place to eat or drink .... cold beer and THE best fish tacos.
Eclipse restaurant is also walking distance and is hit or miss.

Lastly - second half of our vacation went to El Conquistador resort in Fajardo near Rain Forest. Much different from a beach apartment ... but together a great combo and nice way to spend a couple weeks.

Amazing stay! Exceeded my expectations. Owner William is fantastic, friendly, attentive, flexible, accommodating. I travel around the island quite a bit for business, and have areas that are very difficult to find nice lodging - I’m SO happy to have found Casa Campo in San Sebastián. Fast WiFi (like 15-20 mbps in room) as well as streaming Roku TV included. Breakfast was delicious, plentiful, made to order the moment I went to the dining room. I can’t say enough good things about this B&B.

We stayed for a week at villa tropical while we attended a nearby wedding. The apartment was absolutely perfect! We stayed in M4 quinones I think. It was large with a complete and well stocked kitchen. The private balcony over looks the beach and that gorgeous Caribbean blue ocean. It was quiet and very tastefully decorated. Extremely clean. The office staff were friendly and helpful - we rented snorkel gear at the office for $10.00 day.
Villa tropical is well located near the main road which takes you to airport and Also the coastal road. You can walk the deserted beach for miles in either direction. It’s safe and beautiful- we had no problems or complaints whatsoever. It’s tucked in to a very nice beach neighborhood. We would stay again for certain- it was like having our own second home on the beach!

If you are on the west side of Puerto Rico, and you are seeking for apartment style living, with a beachside view at a great price…this place is for you! We had a great upstairs apartment, with a balcony overlooking the ocean. We loved listening to the sound of the ocean at night, getting up early in the morning to sit outside, and watching the surfers. Well worth it! Traveling across the island via car, can be a bit daunting! So recommend, if able, get a flight into Aquadilla instead. Jet Blue flys into there. If you do plan to drive across the island, expect a 2.5 hour or so drive. We arrived at night! I would recommend, if you are arriving at night, get a room in San Juan, and drive it during the day. Not far, is the restaurant Eclipse. You can walk down the beach, or make the four minute drive. They do like reservations there, but food is excellent! The app Eclipse uses for bookings is Open Table. There is also, Ola Lolas Garden Bar. They have fabulous peanut butter burgers! Make sure to either have cash or Venmo on your phone if headed to the Garden Bar. There are other places great to eat, but those were the two immediately available restaurants.

This place is awesome! Lots of room to spread out and we had a beautiful balcony overlooking the ocean. Just a short walk to neighboring resort where our friends were to be married. Jocelyn took care of us and was always so courteous and friendly. I miss the hammocks already!

Room tip: Use Dario for local cab rides, ask Jocelyn. He's the best!

What an incredible location! From the moment we checked in we felt at home. Trevor and Jocelyn were so helpful with everything from equipment rentals to advice on where to eat, hike, and snorkel. The unit itself was extremely comfortable with plenty of space both inside and on the incredible deck. The bedrooms had AC units, but we barely needed to use them because the ceiling fans made everything so comfortable. Beds and linens were superb, and the hot water in the shower was plentiful. We'll definitely be back, hopefully for a longer stay after Covid is over.

Room tip: TR has fabulous views and a massive covered deck that's shared with the unit next door

This review is a bit late but here goes. Once again I was welcomed back to Villa Tropical by Trevor and Jennifer to their wonderful place in paradise...this year I was there for a little over 3 weeks.from January 15th 2020 until February 7th 2020 . This hotel has an apartment like set up. This year i spent 2 nights is a one bedroom beautiful apartment with lots of privacy . I was traveling alone this year and after 2 nights of privacy I asked to be moved to a different apartment on Shacks beach . This was apartment TR. In this building there is a shared large deck and was much more fun for me.. At this apartment I saw over 7 Hump Back wales from the deck. This is a great building to watch surfers and kite surfers flying high in the are. These kite surfers are ultra friendly . If you stay at Villa Tropical don't be shy to strike up a conversation with them. The beach has a very well protected area for families with young children. I have visited Puerto Rico for 7 years now. It would have been 8 years but I didn't stay right after Katrina hit the island. After my many visits to PR I was so happy to discover Villa Tropical...Don't waste your time of money searching for a better vacation rental it won't be found. Jennifer and Trevor will make you feel right at home. The maids and handy man are ready to serve you as if you where a guest in their home.

Room tip: Check with Trevor and tell him your needs. They have over 20 apartments various From honeymooners to family vacations.
