About this apartment rental

Live the tropical luxury resort experience at our Villa Esmeralda on the grounds of the fabulous Bahia Beach Resort. Villa Esmeralda is a luxuriously appointed property within the Bahia Beach Resort property. It is comfortably appointed and tastefully decorated. The expansive pool area is just a few yards away, and the beach is so close (200 yards) that you can hear the surf and see the ocean. The property features 2 bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. The kitchen is fully equipped for gourmet cooking and features the latest in high-end appliances. Our luxurious pool area, with BBQ and pool table, is just in front of the property entrance.

The beach is a short walk away, and can be reached on foot. Towels are complimentary at the Verandas pool.

The fully equipped kitchen is ready for gourmet cooking, while the elegant living/dining area provides plenty of space for leisurely dining and entertaining. Immediately adjacent is the generous open-air veranda with additional leisure space. And the door from the living area to the veranda can be fully opened to create one huge indoor/outdoor leisure area.

This is another fine property brought to you by The Marco Polo Collection, a collection of fine vacation rental properties! You will be in excellent hands with our professional staff, with many years of experience, drawn from Puerto Rico, the U.S. and Europe.

The pool area is just in front of the entrance to the property and is like a resort within a resort. It features its own BBQ cooking area with refrigerator and ice maker, along with a pool table for use by our guests. Complimentary towels and lounge chairs are also available for your enjoyment of the multi-form pool.

Our rates include the use of the 4-passenger golf cart that the property owns as well as the pool area of Las Verandas, adjacent to the property.

Fantastic stay. The resort is beautiful with most of the amenities shared with the St Regis, except for the pool and beach area. Though the separate Beach Club is exclusive for residents and was on the same caliber as the St. Regis. The unit was great and comfortable. Use of the golf cart was clutch for such and expansive resort property. And so much to do on the island outside of the resort. 5 stars all the way around.

We had an amazing family vacation at Bahia Beach! The condo is perfect and it sits right on the 10th fairway in Las Verandas. The resort is in immaculate condition and the grounds are beautiful. You have access to three different pools and a tranquil beach! The The golf course is in pristine shape and holes 16 and 18 are on the ocean. Tania from the Marco Polo Team was very prompt with several of our inquiries and we were also given a late check out which was helpful as we had a late flight.

Villa Esmeralda delivered in every way for an absolute perfect vacation ... The Villa is stunning and has everything you could possibly need -- equipped kitchen/comfortable beds/abundance of linens and towels/great decor/amazing terrace ... there was even food and drinks left by Marco Polo on arrival day ( amazing touch )! We spent so much time on the terrace with a great view of the golf course -- and were able to cook amazing meals in a kitchen that had everything you could need. And when you went out the golf cart that comes with the unit is such an easy way to get around. The setting itself within the Bahai Beach resort area offers so much -- an amazing ocean side pool, great beach perfect for long walks, great dining choices, tennis, golf, pickle ball, gym , basketball court, kayaks, spa ... just to name a few. The grounds are home to the St Regis and are incredibly well maintained. I can't say enough positive things about this location and villa -- it must be love! We will return again and again!!

We very much enjoyed our stay at Villa Esmeralda, the property and unit are beautiful. It was perfect for our family of 3. However, I cannot give it 5 stars due to a few factors. Apparently it was off season so there was very limited to no dining options available at the resort. St. Regis dining was a disappointment and unfortunately that was often the only option. Hosts were lovely enough to set us up with eggs and milk and some basics upon arrival which was certainly appreciated. But knowing local restaurants were also all closed Mon-Wed would have been helpful. AC in the bedrooms was freezing, thermostat doesn’t appear to work. Cookware needs some replacement—pots disintegrating, blender lid missing a key component, no cookie sheet, Tupperware with damaged or missing lids. And the couch needs something to keep it from sliding all over the floor, like rubber nubs on the feet or a rug. These are all small inconveniences but for a premium rental hopefully they can be resolved for future guests. I do want to reiterate we loved the property, the golf cart is a great touch and the grounds are spectacular. Also loved being in between old San Juan and El Yunque. Quiet, remote and just charming.

We loved the condo. The space was clean and well appointed. The host gave us some groceries to start our stay which was so nice! They let us in early which was even more nice! Unfortunately we felt very unwelcome by the hotel. Apparently the week we stayed was so kind of blackout for Las Verandas (the area where the condo is). We were told that we shouldn't use the main hotel pool. We were turned away at all the food establishments except the Beach Club (which isn't ram by the hotel). It rubbed us the wrong way for sure. If we had known we wouldn't be welcome it would have prepared more for dinners. Ended up ordering Domino's one night! Again. Loved the condo. The resort left something to be desired

This is the third time staying at this property. Always feels like coming to a second home; not too big, not too small. The property is perfect for four.
