Absolutely phenomenal secured location on a seemingly private beach. The premises was great for my family vacation with 2 children. Management was always one call/message away during my 5 day stay… Highly recommend!

This property was amazing. It was in a great location and was an extremely short walk to the beach! Highly recommend staying here, we stayed in the PH with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, and it was lovely. It was very clean, the kitchen was stocked with anything you might need to cook, and beach towels, chairs, and floats were provided.

So the property was very nice. We did not have water for three days and we had to get gallons of water from Walmart to take showers. That was terrible. The temperatures were about 103 to 104 and we were not able to shower properly. The location of the property is perfect its in close proximity of everything. Very close to the airport and surrounding places. There were a few things in the property that were not that great the shower doors didn't close properly. A broken vase. Also, when we didn't have water we also had to manually fill the toilet tank with water to use the bathroom as well. The property team was very responsive during this time. Hopefully we get compensated for those days. This is an honest review so that people can see the property owners were responsive even though the water situation happened.

Room, amenities, and location were great. I paid extra for late check out and twice had staff members show up to my room after 11am (one staff member came into my room while I was still here). I don’t think communication was very clear.

It was great to be close to the beach, and to be part of a "normal" San Juan neighborhood and close to restaurants and stores. The apartment was basic, clean, with good working appliances and security to get into the building and our quarters. Parking was okay most of the time; we only had to park three blocks away once. Two remotes had dead batteries and replacements for one of them was provided promptly. The other remote needed a small/short battery; we never got that replaced but survived fine without the living room fan/light. Staff was very helpful when we had difficulty finding the place the first night.

Nice location with easy walking access to the beach. Comfortable apartment with a nice kitchen. Water pressure was kind of low. The beach is beautiful with windsurfing going on in the area for those looking to learn or practice.

We had the smoothest vacation experience.We’re looking forward to staying at this location again or possibly exploring other properties Otium has to offer. Absolutely a 10 out of 10. Thank you Otium for making this an experience for my friends and I to remember forever.

Excellent property. As advertised plus. The 3 bedroom 3 bath penthouse condo provided everything my party of four needed. Close proximity and cheap Uber ride to Condado, Old San Juan, and Isle Verde. Be advised it is a third floor walk-up but still a great stay. Partial ocean view and a very short walk to the beach. Be advised there is only one TV. I would highly recommend this property.

I liked the security and that the beach was in walking distance. What I didn't like was that there was mildew in the bathroom ceiling and was extending to the hallway outside of the bathroom. Other than that the place was nice and cozy.

I think the property is nice, street well illuminated, we were able to walk the street and the surrounding areas around 9:00 or 10:00 pm and felt pretty much safe, been so close to the beach is nice for morning walks along the shore, in the morning is a little noisy because of the trash collectors emptying the containers, I had a little bit of trouble to open the gate, when we arrived, but a quick phone call and the good directions they gave me solved everything nicely. Overall, we enjoyed it and I asked the other guests in the building and they were pleased as well.

While the parking space was tight, and took a few tries to get into, it was worth it! These apartments are so close to the beach! It is inside a gated community, and the parking and entrance access are also behind gates. The apartment was clean, the A/C worked well, and the kitchen had what we needed. The bedrooms had plenty of space and closet space, bath and beach towels included. There was plenty of hot water. The balcony was awesome for hanging out, listening to the ocean, and watching the (taken care of) stray cats wandering and interacting. 15 minute ride to airport, and 10 minute ride to Old San Juan. Would definitely come back!

This property was beautiful and convenient. We felt safe since the community is gated. It was within walking distance of the beach and restaurants, and Uber rides to El Viejo San Juan, Condado Beach, and La Placita were all under $10. Our only minor issue, which wasn’t a big deal, was some ceiling paint falling in one of the bedrooms and the bathroom, likely due to humidity or normal wear and tear. It didn’t bother us much; we simply cleaned it up and moved on with our stay. We also requested fresh towels during our stay, and they were delivered promptly. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely visit again!

The property was lovely and the beach was literally on the same block the house was on. Apartment was convenient to a lot of key places we visited. We did have a nice workout going up and down the stairs. We burned a lot of calories during are trip. Overall property was spacious, clean. We did find a few faults- One the water pressure was extremely low. They offered to have maintenance look at it l. We decline because we where out most of the time and didn’t want anyone in the property while we where out. It was a lil noisy with outside dogs barking often. OverIl, we would stay there again.

I don't know where to start with this place. We really wanted to like it. At first glance, it was great. But when we arrived, we realised many things were dirty and/or broken. We booked a room with a balcony intentionally and couldn't use it because the door was broken. The bathroom light was flickering and eventually stopped working. We had to take one of the lamps from one of the bedrooms and put it in there. The floors were constantly wet from AC condensation (I suppose the climate is part to blame for this, but still), and one of the units leaked in the bedroom and wet our stuff. We had to buy cleaning products to clean spots in the bathroom, kitchen (namely the fridge handles) and the floor upon arrival. The worst part of these issues was a toilet leak. We reported everything to the hosts immediately, and on they sent technicians to fix things. The first set of technicians left the balcony door in a worst state, and while they did replace the light, the toilet leak was still there. They also left dirty footprints all over the apartment and we had to clean it again. I again reported all of this to the host, and they said they would once again send technicians "as soon as possible". Eventually a second set of technicians came, and told us that there was nothing they could do about the door, the wet floors or the toilet leak (which was due to water backed up when it rains or something). There were multiple other issues that came up with this place, but these are the main.
