Playa Azul Luquillo - Ocean Jewel

The building itself feels a bit outdated and could benefit from more thorough cleaning. During my stay, one of the elevators appeared to be under repair, with its interior sides covered in what looked like moving blankets, which gave an unfinished impression.The condo is charming overall, but I also felt it could have been cleaned more carefully. There was some hair on the bathroom floor and in the tub, along with a few food spots on the refrigerator. I didn’t raise these issues with the host, as cleaning supplies were available and I was able to take care of them myself.That said, I didn’t experience any problems with the host and found communication to be smooth. Definitely a good location.

We didn't get the code to the apartment until well after 3pm. The security guard in the lobby was nice enough to let us wait in the lobby area until we heard from the host. I had to call VRBO to get ahold of the host. The Shower was either scolding hot or freezing, no warm, and didn't drain very well. There is only one set of keys for everything, the room, pool, tennis courts and to get to the beach area. It would be much more convenient to have 2 sets for 4 adults, so you can do different things at the same time. And the bedding for the futons were the wrong size, the fitted sheet did not fit and you only get a couch throw for a blanket to sleep with (for every bed), doesn't cover an adult body. The property the apartment is on was great. The Beach out the gate was perfect. And the grocery store was across the street was handy. The kitchen has the bare minimal, if you plan on making any meals, there was a lot of improvising.

The apartment is clean and has all the essentials. The mattresses on the full size futons are surprisingly thick and really comfortable. I wish the building management fixed the direct access to the pool and the beach, we had to walk outside the building and parking lot. Excellent location with fast food, a grocery store, and a pharmacy within walking distance. The kiosks of Luquillo are 3 mins drive. There’s a small place nearby called Antique Bakery that sells great sandwiches at good prices. I would definitely book again.

The location of this condo was terrific. You’ve got the beach, not that far away, and places to walk to to eat. The host was very responsive when we needed more towels. The view is incredible. That said, our word for this day was ‘Basic’. The photos look great, but what they don’t show is a bed that’s pretty uncomfortable, futons that have been re-stuffed and covered so that they’re not comfortable to use to sit on. The two chairs on the balcony are wonderful, but you have to balance that with both air-conditioning units coming out on the balcony and making noise and blowing hot air. The location of the bed with your head within arms reach of the air-conditioning unit blowing, is unfortunate. We ended up pushing the bed against the opposite wall so it wouldn’t be blowing on us. It is pretty noisy. We rarely, if ever, have ever had a good shower. Frequently the water was a trickle, most of the time it was cool. No hot shower for the 3 days we were there. The pool was closed for one of the 3 days we were there and the yardwork & power tools started pretty early. It was not a refreshing or real relaxing stay for us. And yes, we have been Puerto Rico multiple times and stayed in a lot of different locations so we’re not new to this.
