8.6/10 Excellent! (351 reviews)
This place was great! The rooms are modest but I think that’s reflected in the price. Only a small desk and mini fridge in the room, but I didn’t need more than that. The bed is comfortable, the balcony is a nice touch, the connected properties have lots of amenities, the area has great dining and drink options, and best of all, the location is fantastic. 30 minute walk or 5 min drive to Old San Juan, 5 minutes drive into downtown, a good beach a 5-10 minute walk away.

Go with a tour that has the clear kayaks, you can see the glowing fish and phytoplankton under you. Don’t bring valuables or anything that will get wet and don’t wear bug spray, it contaminated the water when you put your hands and arms in. Forget the camera and phone, you can’t capture the glow without a special camera. Mosquito Bay was not named because of mosquitos. We didn’t get bit at all.

Make sure to plan your trip so you DON'T go when there is a FULL MOON. It is too bright.

We did kayak tour at night. It was beautiful views of the sky. The bio light is like glitter in the water. Our tour was 3 mile kayak with some against current in some very dark areas of the water but something to check off bucket list!
