Summary:

IMPORTANT: PLEASE MAKE SURE TO READ THE FULL DESCRIPTION BELOW AND REVIEW ALL PHOTOS BEFORE BOOKING.



Sometimes VRBO, Expedia, and other partner websites incorrectly display amenities or other information, which can cause confusion.

The Space:

Playa Bonita is a beautiful remodeled 2-bed 2-bath apartment located at the Marbella del Caribe Condominiums in Isla Verde, right in front of one of the most beautiful beaches in Puerto Rico and arguably the best urban beach in the Caribbean. From Playa Bonita, you and your guests will be staying right on a 1.5-mile-long beach and will be within walking distance of endless options for dining and nightlife.



The apartment is located 5 minutes from Luis Muñoz Marin Airport. You’ll love the beach views from every room in the apartment and the recently renovated kitchen and bathrooms.



The property comfortably sleeps 4 adults in king and queen-size beds. 



Playa Bonita offers awesome amenities such as; a communal pool, yoga mats to relax by the beach, paddle ball, games, and a basketball for the basketball court.

The living room has a flat-screen TV with both English and Spanish channels.



The unit also has a washer/dryer perfect for an extended stay. The living room also has a wonderful layout for socializing. Enter the balcony, and you will feel like you are on the sand. It does not get closer to the beach than this!

SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS



The master bedroom has 1 king-size bed with epic views of Isla Verde Beach. There is a flat-screen smart TV with cable. There is also a private full bathroom.

PACK AND PLAY (SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY):



We can leave a complimentary Pack and Play at the property upon request. This should be requested upon booking or no later than 5 days before arrival. Pack and Plays are subject to availability.



 

KITCHEN



Playa Bonita has a European sleek style kitchen with quartz countertops, LED lighting, stovetop, toaster oven, full fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. The kitchen opens up to the dining and living room, so you always socialize with the rest of the group. Note that the kitchen does not have a full oven.





GETTING AROUND & PARKING (COMPACT CAR ONLY)



We recommend moving around via Uber if staying within the general Isla Verde and San Juan area.



If you decide to rent a car, this property offers one (1) assigned parking for a **compact** car. The parking garage's ceiling is a low one and the parking spaces are small so we only recommend it for compact cars. Please keep this in mind before booking.





LOCATION



Playa Bonita is located on Isla Verde Beach, Puerto Rico. This is arguably the best urban beach in the Caribbean. The beach is 1.5 miles long, and the Isla Verde strip has a long list of dining and nightlife options. The apartment is 5 minutes from the airport and has car rentals, supermarkets, a Walgreens, and multiple hotels and casinos within walking distance.



There are many things to do in the surrounding areas; here are some of our favorites:



Chill at the beach! It is one of our favorite beaches in Puerto Rico and a must-do if you stay at Playa Bonita. The apartment has beach chairs, towels, and coolers for a long day at the beach.

Alambique beach bar - great casual food on the beach a couple of doors down. We love the fish tacos and the local Ocean Lab Brewery Mambo beer. Head there early to beat the crowds. For a very special occasion, book ahead on Opentable for an epic tasting menu meal at Marmalade in Old San Juan.

You can book fitness classes and massages at the el San Juan hotel a few doors down, including beach yoga for $15.

Buy any groceries and anything else you need at the local Pueblo grocery store, CVS, and Walgreens - all within walking distance and open 24/7.

For a low-key, relaxing beach day, consider sitting under the palm trees when it’s too windy to use a beach umbrella. The shade and breeze are amazing!

Shop at The Mall of San Juan. This brand new mall is a 10-minute drive from the apartment and has excellent shops and dining options.

Explore the El Yunque Rainforest. El Yunque is an easy 30-minute drive from the property and is the only rainforest under US Flagship.

Spend a day in Old San Juan. Playa Bonita is a 15 min drive away from the oldest city in all of the US. There is a lot of history and great food and drinks to savor.

Beach!

Great beach location. Lots of space, having two bathrooms is nice. Easy to get to main roads and to get to other parts of the island (once you get used to driving there). Restaurants and places to buy necessities within walking distance.

Location

Short Uber or taxi ride to Playa Bonita. Front security was nice! Key fob area for pool and beach felt safe. Nice location for restaurants, pharmacy and gift shops. Would have to Uber to Grocery store or have delivery service. Beach area (February) not as busy as other hotels.

Some Issues Need To Be Corrected ASAP

The bedrooms and bathrooms were great, except for the hand towel rack kept falling off in both bathrooms. We had several issues in the kitchen. The microwave kept shorting out so we could not use it. There was NO toaster oven. We needed this because there was no oven. Washing machine -- cold is hot and hot is cold. Some of my clothes shrunk!! There was one tiny frying pan that was disgusting. I'd like to upload a picture of it. There are no decent glasses to use. Just plastic glasses.

A little less than advertised

My stay left me slightly disappointed. The main room was as advertised; however there were several things in need of repair throughout the rest of the unit. Most importantly was the barred units that left us wondering how safe we were( Why did some of the units barred and locked?)
