About the host
Hosted by William
I live in San Juan, where I am also an Adjunct Law Professor; and love all forms of music and the arts. I am fluent in both Spanish and English. I also enjoy having tapas, wine, and conversation, with family and friends. Of late, we have discovered a new form of having tapas & wine - at ocean front. We also love to travel and interact with a diversity of peoples.
Why they chose this property
This property is very special to us; after many years of talking about it, we finally invested in this family compound (as we call it) on the beach, where four generations of our family, and many of our old college friends, meet to enjoy life and and mutual company. We are not investors of any sort, this is our family special place that we occasionally share by renting out. We are hopeful that this venue will bring our guests the same peace and love of life as it has to us.
What makes this property unique
This venue has it all, beautiful facilities, a beautiful natural beach located in an ecologically protected area of Puerto Rico; and just minutes away from the "lungs of the Caribbean" which is the Yunque Tropical Rain Forest. Yet, we are not isolated from other activities available to tourists; we have many restaurants just minutes away. We also have access to mountain climbing, horseback and pony riding, an amusement area for children, and just about all forms of water sports. We have local entertainment, and we are only a 45-minute drive to the 500-year-old Spanish colonial old town of San Juan (El Viejo San Juan).
If this is not enough, we are a 5-minute drive to the Wyndham Grand Rio Mar Resort, where you will find a Golf Course, a gambling casino, and additional restaurants and entertainment. This unique venue has it all.
