Espino Vacations from $425

Up and coming area.

So I will preface that the only reason that I have four out of five stars is that the regular room is small. However, it's Puerto Rico so who is going to be in their room anyway? The location is great - across the street from a grocery store if you need snacks for the beach and great restaurants in the area. The staff is awesome (especially Mateo - he makes top-tier espresso martinis). Everyone made us feel welcome.

Hotel is cute and well-located between old town and Condado. Everything is a short $3 uber away. The room was large and clean now we the TV didn’t work for the duration of our stay (despite multiple requests to fix it) and the staff is unavailable—there is nobody at reception, you have to phone someone and they come from a nearby property to handle check-in and other requests. This was at times a bit inconvenient/frustrating but overall it’s a nice room. For the price the TV should work; and small maintenance things like the toilet paper holder should not be broken.

Ode to the elephants restaurant is the place to get food in the island and close to the resort. We had the most fantastic stay with the lovely staff and their hospitality
