The view was amazing, just like the picture. There was a small bump in the check in and I called them and in 10 minutes everything was resolved. They were very courteous, attentive to what was needed. I will recommend it to anyone.
I also met some people at the place and they love it as well, they are returning customers
I’m sure I will be back against.

Nice 3 day visit to Rincon. First time there. The accommodations had a million dollar view that can't be beat. The only down side was that we found alot of places that were closed, especially during the week. Unless you're a surfer, not much to do in the area.
4.2
The property was beautiful, clean . The one problem we did encounter was that the unit was on the 8th floor, and the entire visit one or both elevators were out all the time. We had both elevators out of service for 3 days in a row. I just had my hip replaced, and it rendered me incapable of going out of the apartment, due to my inability to walk 130 steps upward and downwards consistently.
This was the biggest disappointment of our trip.

No hot water, there’s no hottub despite the listing saying so (it’s a kiddie pool that’s colder than the two other pools). I emailed the host about us having to take cold showers the ENTIRE stay and they did nothing about it. Very disappointed. Fair location and great view. The curtains didn’t extend all the way so we work up at sunrise every morning and not by choice due to the light shining in. Not worth the price.

The property was very nice. Trying to get in the first time was a little tricky but it worked out. The view from the room was beautiful and it was a rather quiet stay. There were some people that lived there and they mainly stayed outside during our stay. We went with friends that stayed 2 floors below us, but we could talk by hanging out the window. We never watched TV so I don't know how that worked. We also didn't cook or anything so I can't comment on the dishes or utensils in the room. Bring extra toilet paper with you. We were left a half a roll of toilet paper and no spares were provided, so we did leave a extra roll. Not something you want to run out of! The pool water was pretty cold but we went in May. All in all, it was a nice experience and we would definitely stay there again.

We loved our stay in condo 804 at Pelican Reef! It was a perfect couples getaway. The view was amazing, and Jose was so responsive and helpful. We will definitely be back!
4.2
great views, nice clean apartrment
overall, it was a great apartment, and I would definitely stay there again, just a few things: The bathroom sink seemed to be clogged and had a very slow drain. A dish drainer would be nice too. When washing dishes, there was no place to set them to dry. Finally, the sofa was a bit tattered. I've noticed that prior comments/observations have been addressed and, as I said, these are minor items, and I would not hesitate to go back as I loved waking up to the amazing views it provided. Love the soft sheets too! Very clean, which is more important than anything else. Didn't give a 5-star rating for property manager communication, had to rate it anyway but there was no need to communicate once I arrived. Checking in was simple and seamless. I thank the owners for a lovely stay.

Great view, few amenities. Quiet unit (outside of the roosters) and great location.
Pros:
The space was clean outside of the items mentioned and the view was great during the day, There is air conditioning and a small closet for your clothing and incidentals. The central location was nice and made getting around easy.
Cons:
There is updating needed to the unit.
The wall tile was broken and kept falling off; the bathroom sink was clogged and took at least a half hour to drain rendering it unusable. The furniture was ripped and worn in the living space. The rugs were shaggy and appeared to be uncleaned. The linens looked barely clean on the bed and stained. The window was dirty and filled with finger prints that was very visible in the evening ..in fact it was our only view in the evening.
The ants made it nearly impossible to use the kitchen or eat any food in the unit.
There was no specific space listed to park in the instructions... But we had friends in a nearby unit who allowed us to use their additional space. There was also visiting parking in the garage a few days.
We enjoyed our vacation in Rincon. It's a great town on the island as well as the neighboring towns.
Would more than likely chose another space just for personal preferences, but still recommend staying if you're looking for a local vibe and less resort feel.

Overall good experience. Good price, good location, decent pool and access to the beach.
The condo was lacking in supplies and amenities. Nothing was included. We had to buy toilet paper and paper towels. There wasn’t a blender. Very little kitchen items. No beach towels, no beach chairs. Additional and amenities would Have made the stay way more enjoyable.

We have stayed in 2 bed room units 3 times at Pelican Reef. We weere worried that this (804) studio would feel cramped. It was not a problemm. The beautiful view from the 8 floor was wonderful.. Cable TV and wi-fi excellent. Kitchen and bathroom fine. Beds great. Host responsive.
The issues at Pelican Reef are 1. one of the elevators is very unrealiable. My wife was stuck twice requiring rescue and I helped in two other rescues.
2. I came to find out during the 3 day blackout that the large emergency generator only supplies power to the "common" areas, not individual units. Considering Puerto Rico's power issurs, this can be a problem.

804 Pelican Reef
We had previously stayed 3 times in 2 bedroom units. We were somewhat concerned that the 1 BD studio would feel cramped. Not a problem. Pleanty of room for us, spectacular view from the 8th floor. Kitchen and bathroom fine. Cable TV and wi-fi great. The host very responsive.
The issues at Pelican Reef are: 1. One of the elevators is very unreliable. My wife was stuck twice in the elevator and I helpped out in two other rescues. 2. There was a wide spread PR power outage for three days. That is when I found out that the large emergency genator for the buliding only servies the "common" areas, not individual units. This is unfortunate.

We paid for the pool to be accessible and it was not filtered or working until the final day of 3 days into our stay. We could not use it until about 3 pm. The beach that is listed on the property it not a full sized beach and is mostly rocks. We consistently ran out of hot water, and when we tried to contact the staff, they were not helpful. In fact, we had to handle the situation ourselves by intruding other people’s rooms to fix their breakers. The staff did not do anything or take any initiative themselves. We were not provided extra trash bags and then were told to take the trash out ourselves

It was awesome getting up to the gorgeous view. The apartment is very basic. It would have been nice to be provided with beach towels and beach chairs.
The location is great however the surrounding areas are very run down. You need a car to be able to go to the center and to other beach locations.
The property management was awesome. Very quick to respond and very eager to help.

The place was great the only downside was that i was under the impression that it had a balcony but it did not. However other family members rented the 704 which did have a balcony. Currently due to erosion the exit to the beach is a provisional one which is somewhat dangerous. Anyway it was a great experience.

We LOVED our stay here! The private beach was to die for, the view was excellent, and Jose, the rental manager, went above and beyond to help us out when needed. He provided us with an email filled with suggestions of things to do, eat, and see! It was excellent service.
The one hurdle we encountered was the property’s elevator, it shuts down due to power surges throughout Puerto Rico. We were staying on the eighth floor, and luckily we are physically able to make the climb. If you are traveling with an elderly member, however, I would take this into consideration. That being said, when this problem occurred, Jose was super responsive and sent a technician out to help us every time within a super timely manner.
Overall, the experience was excellent and we would absolutely stay here again! Thank you to Jose and the rest of Puerto Rico for welcoming us with open arms!

Estadía súper agradable.
El espacio es pequeño pero con prácticamente todo lo necesario. Hubo que salir a comparar papel de higiene pues no había suficiente. Por lo demás estuvo súper bien. A pesar que el apartamento no cuenta con balcón, tiene una vista espectacular. Todo muy limpio. Cuenta con artículos de cocina, toallas, AC muy bueno, TV, microondas y cafetera. Recomendado!

Key was not ready when we got there. Had to wait over and hour and when we got to the room it wasn’t ready. We left. Property is run down. Room layout was also horrible. Toilet seat was broke. Shelves next to bed were broke. Smoke alarm was hanging from the wall. We did not stay.
