My boyfriend and I wanted to try something new and came across Sol Casita on Airbnb but the room they had available did not have a private bathroom. We searched online and found that they had their own site and so we booked through there instead of Airbnb. This particular room did come with it's own bathroom and shower. The bathroom itself was a bit odd. You had to step up into it and step down out of it and it had shutter doors. The shutter doors only went half way down. The toilet and shower were one. No dividers of any sort. Sol Casita did supply shampoo, conditioner and shower gel. We didn't use it but it was a nice extra. AC worked very well, bed to me was comfortable but my boyfriend wouldn't agree. Shared kitchen, sitting area, and dock were the star of Sol Casita. I enjoyed it, although you meet different people and not everyone is respectful of common areas. My only real complaint was the mosquitos. I don't know how they got into our room but they were there and it was annoying and made us absolutely miserable. I'm glad we gave it a go but I think Sol Casita better suits folks moving from place to place and just need to stay for a night, maybe two. It wasn't ideal for us. We enjoy exploring but coming back to rest our heads at a location that feels like home. Price was excellent, beautiful views, authentic Puerto Rican neighborhood, great restaurant that was located one house away. A bit on the louder side. Parking wasn't the best but wasn't horrible either and within a 5 minute walk we found a little bakery that was perfect. If anyone decides to stay here and is reading this, if you can take 5 minutes of your time and buy an apple and give it to the horse by the recommended parking area that the host will email you after you book, I would be so thankful. I meant to do it and it's been on my mind that I didn't. :( The best part of Sol Casita is that it's very close to two of my absolute favorite beaches. Playa Sucia and Combate Beach. The Salt flats and Annie's is also very close. All a must visit. All in all I would stay here again for a night or two but no more.

This is an adults only hotel. The rooms are modern in design and comfortable. Service is very good and responsive to concerns or issues. Parking is limited and the hotel is in the heart of activity. Each guest receives an armband that is used to access the room and other areas in the hotel. Love this, but a bit of a panic if you lose it as the replacement is not cheap. The area is slow Monday -Thursday and begins to pickup for the weekend. There is scuba diving, snorkeling, boat trips, restaurants and shops concentrated in the center of the area. What is not understood until you arrive, is the music. I listen to music all day, if I can. However, somewhere around 9 pm-10 Pm ,I'm ready to turn off the music. My spouse and I were there for 3 days and did road trips most of the day returning to the hotel late in the evening. The pool area is beautiful and there is a restaurant available. At midnight, the music continued to blare as well as the loud conversations. This made it difficult to sleep/rest after a long day of hiking and exploring the island. One night, the staff began to power wash the restaurant area with music playing. I give deference to workers always and know they work for very little for the work they are asked to do. As the conversation and laughter got louder, we did ask the front desk to speak to the workers. This did quiet the hotel a bit. The thing here is that if you like a lively place with music until the early hours in the morning, this is the place for you. I ate at the hotel and had a tapas: Montaditos de Langosta - Lobster in aioli sauce over fried plantains. The description was mouth watering and what came on the plate looked curious, but it was absent of flavor. The langosta was hidden. This is the crab cake dilemma: too many fillers that the delicate state of the langostino is lost and you have to rely on memory to know what it tastes like. Fried plantains are as good as anyplace, but less the reason for the tapas - though I love plantains. The last morning, I had French toast for breakfast. This was the most beautifully presented breakfast I have ever had. Typically, when french toast comes with whipped cream, it can overwhelm the plate but this was done well. I truly enjoyed the meal until I got to the center of the toast which was undercooked. This is also a moment I have experienced many times before: French toast not fully cooked with a soggy center. It reduces what would have been an A+ experience. Truth be told, I would have it again, but ask the chef to "make it a bit crispy" to see if that solves the problems. They do get an A+ for presentation and taste.

Overall, we had a great time. I would definitely return. I also recommend checking out their restaurant, even if your not a guest. The food is good.

We sat ourselves outside and waited about 10 minutes to order beer and food. We then waited 20 minutes without so much as a check in from the waitress. No water, no beer, no "hows everything." The food (empanadillas) came after being there for 30 minutes (if you have been to PR then you know there are cooked empanadillas 24 hours a day at almost every place on the island) but they were very good and obviously fresh. I have nothing bad to say about the food, but for better service and a more creative menu go right across the street to Moon. Never did get that beer.

Although the drive here was treacherous to say the least, it was worth it because our room was clean, there were many fun things to do during the day, and the food at the restaurants in the resort was okay, (except for the birds constantly attacking you). HOWEVER there are some cons (notice the 4 stars instead of 5): The pools are so hot they feel like your going into a giant hot tub and they aren't refreshing at all, the ac machine was set to 63 degrees (we couldn't change it) and you'd better believe That it was freezing. Overall a nice place to relax and stay even with the minimal (yet noticeable) issues.

We spent $400 a night there to experience this. Housekeeping was great. I will never stay there again. Do better, guys.

The suite is located behind the dining area which makes me believe that our used to be a storage area, but after seeing photos in the dining room, we realized that it used to be a church! With that being said the room itself was extremely spacious. The beds are meh, the bathrooms immaculately cleaned. For the cons: the soap dispenser in the toilet room (shower and toilet separated) didn't work, the room itself was rather stuffy and the floors are in desperate need of updating. Continental breakfast consists of cereal and toast, so I would recommend the bakery two blocks for morning grub.

The bathroom has a trick shower where a fair amount of water runs across the floor. The staff was very helpful with one key exception: the woman who appeared to be the manager. Despite certificates from hospitality training school, she was literally the only person we encountered in 5 days in PR who was unhelpful. When we arrived at 3:30 pm after driving from San Juan, her first reaction was to tell us to go away and come back at 4:00. Seriously. She finally allowed us to wait on the terrace until our room was ready. Then she gave us tokens for "welcome" drinks after making us feel unwelcome. Dear manager, here's how you make guests feel welcome: "Oh my goodness, your room won't be ready for another 20-30 minutes. I invite you to wait in the bar/terrace and enjoy your welcome drinks until the room is ready."

What really set them apart though, was the people who run this inn. They were so lovely and welcoming, and seemed to genuinely care about us having a good time there. Not just at the inn, but the things we did while we were there as well. They talked to us about our plans, gave tips along the way. They made sure we knew of all the factors that could impact our trip to the airport on our final day. They were literally the best. We enjoyed them so much that we spent the end of our evenings at the inn bar, chatting with them because we really enjoyed their company. They also know how to make an excellent drink, with really fresh ingredients. That leads me into breakfast.... So fresh and tasty! They give you great options to choose from and you can even decide if you want to eat breakfast on the patio or have it delivered to your room. They really know how to enhance a vacation! This was the best part of our trip in Puerto Rico. The beauty on this side of the island is insane. It's a little bit cooler, which we loved! And swimming in the bioluminescence was unforgettable. 12 out of 10 recommend!
