Amapola SeaSide Beach Front Apartment

The Location

The master bed was uncomfortable, the lights on the ac lit the entire room. Combined made it hard to sleep through the night.

We stayed here for my in-laws 50th wedding anniversary. The fancy look of the condo fit the fancy occasion for the trip. My in-laws are not very mobile, so the elevator was a must and they were able to sit on the balcony overlooking the water the entire time. The balcony was full shade by afternoon. They could also handle the walk to the Metropol restaurant. The Pueblo grocery store and the airport are super close. Old San Juan is a 15 minute Uber ride and the 40 minute rental car drive to Yunque Rainforest's visitor center's trail was an easy day trip as well. Carmen and Ramon were very helpful to answer questions we had about the property. I was glad we were renting from an actual Puerto Rican and not a big company that had displaced local people. When my in-laws did make it down to the Isla Verde beach below, the half near the condo is very flat for walking. There were plenty of beach towels and five beach chairs provided. The sleeper couch was great for my teen son who didn't want to share a bed with his brother. Definitely recommend for easy & affordable Caribbean vacation without leaving the U.S.

We never figured out how to turn on the light in one of the bathrooms or get the air conditioner unit to work in the bedroom off the kitchen. But we kept the bedroom door open at night to feel the living room air conditioning and there is a nice ceiling fan. If you are going to use the kitchen and laundry, pack dishwasher and laundry detergent.

Lovely views

Nothing

The location to the beachside is good. Walking distance to descent food.

The host did not follow through with fixing a maintenance order they claimed happened right before our arrival. Therefore my friends was without power to their bedroom/bathroom. We ended finding another accommodation with full power and was never compensated for the unused night. We also were informed after arrival that they do not provide washcloths which was another inconvenience. The dishes including the coffee pot did not meet standard. Everything had to be rewashed to use. The place wasn't filthy but definitely not the cleaness. On arrival, all the towels was folded and damp. We had to rewash them. For a party of 6. They supplied 6 towels. No washcloths. For the price of $700/night and as a frequent traveler this condo was not worth it.
