Bauta Arriba Vacations from $997

Everything is 10 times more expensive compare to any other place I visites

The home itself is absolutely stunning but the road to the villa is not just narrow, it's washed out in many places, we struggled to navigate the potholes even with a jeep and an SUV, I would not drive it at night. There are great amenities like the fridge and bathroom downstairs, the coffee / cocktail bar is fabulous.The kitchen was well-stocked with basic spices and supplies but it was crawling with roaches. Wifi is spotty so be sure to have the guidebook downloaded and screenshots of the phone number to call because the phone number posted throughout the villa is not functioning. Even in August the combination of ACs, fans, and breezes kept the temprature very comfortable. Excellent pool, though very little shallow area, if you're traveling with kids or weaker swimmers.

Villa is beautiful and great location in regard to the pool and beach. It has plenty of room for everyone, clean, comfortable, It is a bit far from San Juan, rainforest, popular beaches. It's a least an hour and traffic could make it longer. Definitely need a car if you stay here. There is a beach on the property. It is a small, secluded beach so you'll need to bring your own umbrellas, food, etc. It is partially shared with a hotel. The hotel side is very clean and maintained, but the villa side is filled with seaweed and a lot of debris near the trees. With no umbrellas, you need to stay under the trees for shade but a lot of debris. Great beach to go to during the day for a quick walk or visit if you can stay on the hotel side. It's not a place to go at night though because there are outside people who gain access from another trail and fish, catch crabs. They hang around the access gate with flashlights because that's where the crabs are. They may not be dangerous, but I wouldn't take a chance. Pool is a very nice but the property staff doesn't clean regularly. We had to clear the pool daily. There was also an incident with the bathroom door getting locked and we couldn't locate anyone from the property. But Alex was great and was very easy to contact and responsive. Nearby there is a beautiful beach Balneario Cerro Gordo which is only about 10 minutes away. Dorado is another close beach for party scene.
