Nothing compares to the Villa. It's my happy place. Been coming here for years and hopefully will have many more.

Pros...beautiful weather...helpful staff.. decent restaurant.. extremely clean...cons.. we could not enjoy their beach because they provide no beach blankets or chairs or beach umbrellas.. When I asked the receptionist if they had any she pointed to a folding chair next to the counter that looked like it should be thrown away.... read more

I had the pleasure of staying here for a week while working in Puerto Rico. The overall experience was excellent. The hotel has a retro midcentury resort type feel -well maintained but with a swanky historic feel about it that gives it a fun vibe. Maybe it's the open air lobby, or the beachside bar front, it just feels great being there. Most of the staff seem like long time employees and have great pride in Villa Cofresi and the experience of it's guests. My ocean front room was massive in size, impeccably clean, and indeed delivered on a spectacular view of the ocean. The pool, bar and restaurant areas were a fun relaxing place in the evening- again with excellent, friendly service. I look forward to staying here agin. read more

Terrible experience over all ! Will never return ! We came here with 8 guests for Christmas Dinner. A special event on a special day with reservation made over a week in advance. We were seated promptly outside on the terrace , the music was so loud we could not talk or connect with our family at the table. A request to turn it down was largely ignored. Problem #1. #2. 6:30 Waitress brought menus, took a drink order 15 min later. No drinks nor main orders taken for 30+ min....2 drink orders lost.Had to go find waitress to provide again. and request waters for table. #3 . 7pm placed dinner appetizer , food order. Mushrooms apps took 30 min to arrive....with not waitress attention in between for bread...or additional drinks ....appetizers were good but bordering on cold. #4. Ordered lobsters, seafood, steak entrees......after tracking down the waitress 3 dif times......over the next 2 hours....to find out if order was lost....or ? Entrees were finically brought to our table at 9;15. 2.5 hours after our seating. This was after going into the kitchen and requesting help, insisting we get or order asap, or we would walk out..! While the food was ok.....the neglect and wait and lack of follow up with any sort of apology by the staff, waitress , etc....is beyond unacceptable. Probably the most negative experience ever in a restaurant for all individuals in our family. Having been a fining dining waiter for many years......believe me I can be the most empathetic patron .......but there was a level or arrogance, lack of training , and accountability here that can ruin a dining experience. Good thing we are a loving , congenial, family,.....most others would have loudly asserted anger and stormed out. Asked if they were short staffed due to holiday....resounding NO was the answer. Never offered to comp a side or a drink....for the long wait, lukewarm food....NO! Apology...NO ! Value, totally over ridden by terrible service. Waters do not assist one another.....they hang out and stir off into space when asked a question about an order to asked for some water. Steer clear.....we would not recommend...........too many other wonderful ocean front options close by with wonderful friendly wait staff....awesome food and value. read more

If i can give this hotel 0 stars i would, the hotel is absolutely horrible my key card for my room kept deactivating i had to go to the lobby about 3 times for them to fix it, the front desk is run by a crowd of kids that don't care and walk around like you owe them something, i asked for 1 bedroom i get there and my room has two beds which was annoying, the bathroom would flood of water every time i would run the shower, you get better service at a motel than here, don't book here, last but not least you have to book the restaurants prior to going to them which they only give you two hours to do which is 9am-11am a mess run while you can. read more

This is one of the best hotels in Puerto Rico. It's clean. Their food is amazing. The service is great. The beach is a step away it's a great place for big families and having fun! This is a hotel I would definitely come to again. read more

My bf and I had out first night in Aguada and look for a good place to have a good dinner since it was my birthday and we wanted it to be special. We called to the place and the person in the phone told us that they were not taking reservations but only walk-ins, so we left and got the around 9:10pm since they close at 11pm. We got there and the person outside the parking lot didn't let us get in even tho we made sure in the phone it was ok to get there at that time (as soon as we hang up in the phone we got ready as fast as we could and left). My bf told the guy it was my birthday and if there was a way to work it out and he was a total asshole, he said the people inside had to go outside to make sure with him about letting people in. My bf and I were very disappointed about this place's service and it kind of ruin my birthday dinner plan. read more

So it has been at least a year since I last stayed in Villa Cofresí Hotel, however, I've stayed in this hotel around 4-5 times throughout the last 5 years. If there is something I can say about this place is that I've noticed that it's consistent with their service. Now mind you, this is not the fanciest hotel, let alone the best in the area, however, for the price and location, Villa Cofresi is pretty darn awesome. It just makes sense. Location is right in the middle of Rincón, on the east coast of Puerto Rico with the best view for sunsets. Additionally, one of Rincon's best hangouts is their bar. Always packed, lots of locals and tourists and good music. Also, their signature cocktail, the "Coco Pirata" is sooo worth it. Cost about $9-10 and it's a coconut filled with alcoholic goodness and the serving size is the amount of approximately three cocktails. Definitely, something you can share! If you are ever in the area, check it out!! read more

Very good place especially for a large group. Everyone was happy with their meals, service was great and loved the drinks in Coconuts.

The view of my wife was the best part of the experience. And the reading of Cofresi given in their menu. We stumbled upon the restaurant after reading many tourist reviews rating the establishment and restaurant so high. We were looking for an authentic Puerto Rican lunch, this was the absolute furthest thing from it. Our first disappointment was the Coco Pirata. This allegedly had three different liquors and milk and cinnamon. My wife and I wouldn't consider ourselves season drinkers, being young, but we legitimately struggled to taste anything other than milk and cinnamon. We asked the server if we had been served virgin ones but he assured us that we weren't. Drinks were doo doo. Talking about poop, we ordered the surtido of appetizers, or for this who don't know, its essentially an assortment. I just have a slight inkling that this was created primarily for Americans on the verge of type 2 diabetes or if not their are straying very close to that diagnosis. There was fried chicken, fried fish, fried cheese, fried plantains, and fried effing corn bread. Some Aztec god is pissing himself as I write this. Next came the fish pinchos. The best part of the dish was the garlic bread that came from Walmart. I know this because I've had Walmart garlic bread. The bread had more seasoning than the fish. I wouldn't be surprised if that fish was created in a lab, shipped to Walmart, imported to Puerto Rico. Frozen. Defrosted. Then served without any actual spice other than the charcoal that came off of the grill. It was actually inedible. Like I almost ate more fried cornbread but then I asked God to forgive me for even considering eating that. Please don't come here. Please.Pleasesedaybaofab read more

The Covid experience ( masks , removal of pool tables, no Dailey room cleaning ect) doesn't help the experience . Had a great view of the sunsets from our room as well as the bar area . They kept running out of the coconuts for their famous pirate drink. We got some our first night and watched a great sunset . Our friends showed up 2 days later and of course after raving about the drinks they had run out of the coconuts . They also missed the great sunsets as it was cloudy ! Great bar but I was their pre Covid days and much livelier . The food was very good . read more

WHen I pulled up it was so much better than expected. Very clean and attractive layout, the employees were all excellent and very friendly. Room was fantastic and the waterfront bar / restaurant was a great hang to eat, drink, and to enjoy amazing views. Perfect sunsets. I highly recommend staying here. Make sure you share a sunset with Eddie. read more

This is the perfect place to take a date and watch the sunset, have fun drinks. They do have a dinner menu (which is on the pricey side) but if you go at the right time they have a bar menu and a beach side menu which are way more affordable. They also have a pool table and a ping pong table. This restaurant also has beach access. I highly recommend! read more

***BAR ONLY*** My local friend took us to Villa Cofresi for the drinks. I ordered the fresh coconut with milk and rum. Strong drink but delicious. They fill up the coconut and also give you the remaining drink in a plastic cup. I think it was about $10? Super cheap. Service also exceeded our expectations. I loved it here. This location is the perfect place to enjoy a coconut near the beach. It was peaceful and relaxing during the day. read more

What a wonderful place to stay! My family was well taken care of by the staff who were very accommodating. The sunset views were beautiful and I enjoyed the early morning walks on the beach. We ate the buffet breakfast in the morning and ate at the restaurant all very good food! The area to lounge is peaceful and it was nice to hear the waves crash and watch the pelicans. So grateful we were able to visit prior to the pandemic. We hope you are doing well. read more

This is a review of the restaurant/bar and not the hotel. The servers were so sweet and the view cannot be beat. Come for the sunset, absolutely. The food was a little pricey, but worth it for the taste/ presentation and vacation experience. I would DEFINTELY come back again. The only thing I would change would be the music volume. It was very hard to enjoy our meal over the bar volume. We went ahead and bought some songs from the jukebox just to have some quieter enjoyable music on. That was the only drawback. The food is nice, and interestingly varied. I had the Pirate drink, a melon ball drink, the red snapper, crusted with plantains, in cilantro sauce, with cofresi potatoes with coconut pudding for dessert. The drinks are delicious, the people awesome. We even enjoyed the gift shop, which they opened just for us. Still, I can't imagine having one of the rooms fronting the patio/bar area, because of the noise. A great place to eat/drink if you don't mind blasting pop music. read more

Overrated. $200 room with view. Spacious great firm bed but outdated room. Cockroaches. Hot water didn't work in shower unless you messed with it for 20 minutes. You get a free breakfast. It was pretty pathetic bread with ham and cheese Oscar Meyer deli slices. Cereal. Terrible coffee. Tasteless cantaloupe and hard kiwis. With millions of mangos everywhere they can't even serve it up. Oh you coulda even a regular breakfast. But that was extra. Really disappointing. Staff was less than enthusiastic. Will not stay there again. read more

My review is for the private beach, bar and drinks... When in Rincon please stay or drive over to this hotel and spend the day. The bartenders are friendly, the drinks are good (a bit on the sweet side) and the beach is perfect. The beach is calm here with a little wave. I think the bar food could be a bit better especially since we are in Puerto Rico you make better food at home then this bar food but what can you do. On the weekends i have seen jet ski rentals here. I'll be back! read more

This is a beautiful hotel with a really fun bar right on the water. As others have said, their coconut drinks are what they are known for and highly recommend.

Back in March 2020 I went to Puerto Rico for a quick long weekend trip. I stayed 2 days at Hotel Villa Cofresi Hotel and was surpringly impressed with this hotel. I found this hotel online and once I booked I had thoughts of being a run down motel. I was very wrong. The online pictures does not do justice for this hotel. Very well kept, inviting entrance with local artistry in display, front office bilingual personnel and ready to help. The bar personnel was extremely friendly and ready to party with you. Plenty of air coming through the entire entertainment part of the hotel since this hotel is located by the beach. You can't swin. The room was very clean and air conditioner was very cold. The hotel itself has several locations overlooking the beach with comfortable hammock, and chairs for relaxation time Now, Friday comes and it's PARTY TIME!!! Music and Karaoke is there ready for singing and dancing. Lots of vacationers comes along with locals to have a great time. They do offer in room service and the food was pretty good. Extremely tasty. I intent to bring my family here once this pandemic is over and will be staying at this hotel. Rincon overall is a great place to visit since it's the beginning of the island. read more

Good bar with pool right on the beach. Make sure to order the Parita Special.. special rum drink served inside a coconut. It's about $9 but you get about 3 drinks worth. Parking is a pain.. either come early or pray you get lucky and can park when someone leaves. You can go to the beach here but it's packed.. personally I would drive to the other side Of Rincon where there are less people. Also, it can be tough to get the bartender's attention... especially if you don't speak Spanish. read more

This is my home away from home! I have stayed here 4 times! Always get room 318! The location is great, but its the bar staff that makes this hotel SHINE!!! My brothers, Francis, Wilfred, Jose, Alex and the rest of the bar staff are an incredible group. These guys are always on point, never without a drink for more than a minute. Personable, friendly, just some very nice people!! Please tip them well, they bust their butts so we can enjoy ourselves, at least be generous when tipping! I usually tip at least 30%. Just don't order the nachos to go. haha....Inside joke. read more

One of the best meals, greatest drinks, and service with respect, I have traveled through Florida and New York, ate everywhere between the two in the last year, and well the 20 oz Porterhouse was excellent. The security was aware and responsive, I stayed a total of 2 weeks from Thanksgiving until today. Its perfect for leaving the technology off. Classic enviroment To: Owner Sandra Caro, your not Bi-polar and dual diagnosis is a lie, If all is paid no matter how high the bill, courtesy for your guest is the earned respect for what your selling to the people and guests of Puerto Rico.

There is nothing in the world like walking along a desolate beach. We spent the better part of a perfect day in Rincon, Puerto Rico walking along the beach and back roads at the suggestion of Yoga Lindsey (can be found through Casa Islena--see my earlier review) who stoked our interest with tales of a giant drink. A drink that would make Zeus himself give up his ambitions and opt for a life on the beach. This drink is called ... "The Pirate." Villa Cofresi sits directly on the beach. It is in fact a resort where patrons can take banana boat rides, waterski rides and all other manner of touristy stuff. We didn't stay at Cofresi, so this review isn't about any of that crap. Villa Cofresi's open bar serves The Pirate in a coconut. That's right, I said coconut. The bartenders--who, by New York standards are the slowest on earth--actually chop the top off a coconut and fill it with rum, coconut milk and other secret ingredients. They then put this drink in your hands, and invite you to stay a while. While there, you can lounge on their beach chairs, enjoy the sunset over the Caribbean and spend some time with a drink that will knock you on your ass. I had three. I have seen the promised land my friends. read more

Within the past week I have been to Villa Confresi at least 4 times. Since no beaches are private in Puerto Rico they are open to everyone, so even though we weren't staying at the hotel we could go through their hotel to their designated beach area. The beach itself is pretty well maintained, but really what you want to go here for is their bar!!!!!!! Their signature drink is called 'El Pirata' (in refrence to the pirate Confresi). Its a blend of rums with coconut water and coconut milk, but the best part is watching them actually chop off the tops of the coconuts with a giant machete! The bartenders are all really awesome! Eddie, Rey and the tall and bald papi chulo were some of our favs! They really take care of you. We will all forsure be returning! read more

Definitely a good spot to bring visiting tourists with a penchant for rum-infused coconut drinks (me), loud music, and the sound of waves next to the bar. Probably a bit pricey, and service isn't great, but whatever. We had some random deep fried food that was okay. Decent spot to make the transition from NYC life to being on "island time." Good mix of locals and tourists. I would go again. read more
