I have family in P.R but I need to some work done while visiting. The view was fantastic. I was able to get all my work done before time. The staff was very friendly. I will definitely stay here again. Will recommend it to my friends and colleagues.

The host was absolutely wonderful and communicating and checking on us throughout our entire stay I will say however the hotel is in bad need of repairs the pool isn't available everything is dirty the game room most of the games don't work there's a bar and a restaurant and a cafe advertised just being located on the site of the property none of these things exist or are open again the property manager was wonderful but when I come back I will not stay here again I can find similar accommodations with a pool and a spot etc for roughly the same price point

Hosts responsive and friendly. Property nicely updated. Everything you need for the beach is in the apartment. Lovely view of the ocean and the airport runways.

Loved, loved, loved this property! Very comfortable studio apt that could accommodate at least 4 people. Everything you need is at your disposal. Full kitchenette. We made our own breakfast every morning, which we ate on the balconey with a spectacular view of the beach/ocean on one side and airport on the other side. My daughter and I would sit on the balcony at all times often and would watch planes of all sizes landing and taking off. Distance to and from the airport in less than 5 minutes. Restaurants, supermarket and lots of fun places to explore. The beach, steps away with private access. The owner, Mr Kaufman was in contact with me before, during and to the end of our stay. Any questions or concern he was just a text or phone call away. There is some remodeling construction going on but only during the day and to honest, I didn't even hear them and it didn't stop us from enjoying our stay there. Thank you Lionel, hope to be back again some day.

We loved the location of the place. Close to rental car places and right on the beach. Easy to access the highway to go other places like the ferry for Culebra or the rainforest. If there was anything I'd change I would have liked a couple more towels and a couple extra blankets. We stayed 9 nights and there were 3 of us with one towel each. So we had to do laundry halfway through the stay and it was expensive. The blankets on the bed are very thin and would have liked a extra. But besides that it was perfect!!

Not far from the airport beach steps away

Property was clean and efficient. Met all of my needs.

Great beach apartment with all the amenities you need. Good location close to the airport, short uber from old San Juan and near by rental car and restaurants. Wifi is free from the hotel and it can be little intermittent, but other than that it is great.

Close to everything. Only that restaurant was closed.Bar open but very expensive for drinks had. Had no coke, sprite.diet coke,tonic water.

The room was comfortable. Mr. Lionel checked with us to make sure we checked in okay. The View WOW!!! The apartment location is super convenient.

The hosts communicated with us through out the trip. They were very helpful and accommodating. The room has a beautiful view of the ocean which we enjoyed. The hosts provided beach chairs and a cooler which were very appreciated for our time in the beach. Overall, great hosts

Great location with plenty of restaurants to walk to. 5 minutes from a grocery store, and steps from the beach!

Our stay at Lionel and Sally’s place was incredible. The 15th floor studio apartment has a great balcony view of the beach which you have access to directly, as once you book you are a guest of the hotel. Meaning, you have access to the hotels game room, fitness center, bar and lounge area, jacuzzi, pool, beaches and more. The room was spotless and house keeping was ready to come in and clean once our stay was over. Lionel and Sally are flexible with a late checkout, should that be something you’re interested in if you have an evening flight. The hotel will store your luggage once you’re checked out if you still want to get in the beach or pool or even checkout the neighborhood one last time. The studio is a fully furnished apartment, which means you have access to the kitchen, should cooking be an option for you. Lionel and Sally also provide a cooler and 4 beach chairs to bring onto the beach, which made my boyfriend and I’s day! Nice clean towels and a bar of soap are provided as well. Be sure to bring your own toiletries. CVS and Pueblo Supermarket, which are about a 5 minute walk from your room, are open 24/7. Alambique Beach Lounge (more of a drink and dine experience) and Los Gorditos restaurant (more of a tropical high quality fast food place) have great food and are within walking distance. El San Juan Hotel which is approximately 100 feet away (literally right next door), offers free live music nightly as well. Location is a selling point as the moment you exit the airport, you’re a $7 Uber ride and 7 minutes away from your hotel. Clean apartment, great and attentive hosts, access to all hotel amenities, seamless check-In and checkout at the hotels front desk, and safe location to walk around during the day and evening is a plus. Highly recommend the place and will be returning in the near future. Thanks Lionel and Sally.

The Kaufman’s were so nice and helpful through the booking process. The Accommodations are very nice. And the view is spectacular. Couldn’t of asked for a nicer place.

Stayed here on my recent vacation in Puerto Rico. Apartment was as advertised. Clean and comfortable. Nice bed. Loved the balcony with the view of the beach . Nice pool and lobby. I would recommend staying here .

I want to thank lionel kaufman for giving me the opportunity to rent the place. The View was perfect The Beach restaurants water sports was just a few steps away. I highly recommend this place it was excellent.

The room was clean and stocked as promised. I liked that it was a high floor with views of the ocean and neighborhood. The location was perfect.

The property itself was great. Communication with the property owner was not lacking in any way. The view was pleasant. The hotel itself had exceptional amenities. So why did I say "But" here's the reason why. This would have been a perfect experience; however, I feel that some attention should be given to the interior of the unit. Updating the unit itself would make the stay more pleasant. Please be aware that there is quite a bit of humidity in Puerto Rico and it takes a toll in the unit smelling musky. I would still recommend this unit and owner as I had a wonderful experience.

Loved the location the beach was the best. Sondra's food cart a must have. The weather was all Sun all day long!

Room was clean had a good ocean view. Only complaint is not having house cleaning. Had to wash our own stuff. Could have had house cleaning for a fee. Hotel and pool was great. Owners easy to work with. Thank you.

The facility was very nice with the pool and access to the beach. It was also nice to have parking provided. The owner was easy to communicate with and always responded. The room needed some tender loving care! It needs to be updated and thoroughly cleaned. The floor was very sticky and dirty; the toaster only worked if you held it down; the refrigerator shelves were not clean-everything I put on the shelves stuck there. We were very disappointed with the lack of cleanliness.

First I’d like to thank Mr. Lionel Kaufman for his outstanding attention to my needs and for being such a great host. Clear and precise instructions regarding arrival, checkin and the apartment amenities. The apartment is exactly as described and it is fully equipped with everything you need to have a pleasant stay. All you need to buy is food and drinks in the event you want to prepare your own meals. Since the balcony of the unit is located on the east side, there’s a very nice kool breeze that comes in which is more than enough to keep the A/C off. The ESJ lobby has been renovated and it looks wonderful. Access to the beach and pool is just steps away. I highly recommend staying at Lionel’s place. You won’t be disappointed.

Me encanto la pasamos super bien. Tramendas facilidades en el hotel y areas adyacentes.

Great stay the apartment was clean and loved having a balcony and kitchen. Ocean view easy access to beach pool and jacuzzi . Right on the strip with beach restaurants and casino . Everything you need was right there . Much better than a hotel with all the amenities bar in the lobby with game room . The apartment had everything you needed even xtra pillows a cooler even aloe spray which came in handy . Overall it was a great stay would recommend for sure

Lionel & Sally, thank you..i had the most memorable experience...worth staying 150%. Clean, attentive and great location..staff at esj azul were spectacular.

5 star choice for me is easy. The location is walking distance to stores and restaurants. The beach is literally tour back yard. The view from the room will take tour breath away. The proximity to the airport. The furnishings they supply for you. The air conditioning worked superb. I was cold at times. The balcony with seating is a great addition. The hotels pool is nice. The bar downstairs is friendly as well as the staff. You can book tourist tours from the lobby. I could go on. But go see for yourself...

MR. LIONEL's apartment at ESJAZUL is all you can hope for. Location/Price/Amenities/Responsive owner is all here. First Mr. Lionel's has been extremely accomodating during my entire stay. He has been very responsive and thru various means of communication he has been on top of things making sure everything is fine. His apartmnet is all I wished for during my recent mission trip for the animals at save a sato in Puerto Rico. The apartment itself is properly appointed with comfy beds, great air conditioning system, hot water and kitchen. The apartment sits just 10 minutes from the airport with a great view of the Carolina Beach and the entire airport is visible too. It is awesome. The place is clean and has cable tv and wifi. The property itself is located beach front with a beautiful pool/bar. The Lobby of the building has been upgraded and in the weekend there was even life entertainment. I LOVE this place and I will look for this option first next time I come back. Thanks Mr. Lionel for your attention to detail and for been such a gracious / accommodating guest. _ LOOK NO FURTHER this is the place to be.

Mr. Lionel Has been and Amazing accommodating host. His property is awesome, the location , the amenities the apartment are everything anyone will wish for. So happy and pleased to have chosen Mr. Lionel’s Place during my stay here in San Juan. Thank You

The apartment was super clean and fully equipped. The balcony has a beautiful view to the water, which was perfect for me to sit and have my morning coffee as I meditate. The room / studio is comfortable with 2 beds. The property has a beautiful pool and a beach, you are steps away from the beach. In addition the location is convenient with near by restaurants and supermarket. The host Mr. Lionel was very nice, he answered all my questions during my stay, and was always available. I highly recommend this property.

Our second visit to this unit.

I contacted Lionel and within 30 minutes, he called me back. It was New Year's Day; really late. I can't say enough about Lionel. He showed interest in everything we talked about and even though he himself was on vacation, he took the time to speak with me about his unit. Within no time. I booked our room. We've stayed at ESJ in the past but the remolding that was done looks really good. Our room was clean and we loved our view. The room was comfortable and everything worked just fine. Lionel checked on us to make sure we checked in okay and he was available by phone on the day we checked out to make everything went well. We would recommend anyone to come and stay at Lionel's unit. If you want a really nice room for a good price in a prime spot of Puerto Rico, this is the right place. The room is located on the airport side however, you still get a really nice view of the beach and the noise from the planes will not be a problem because the door shuts tightly. You'll be tretated with respect by Lionel which is very important to us. Also, nothing like easy access to the beach or a pool with plenty to do in the area and minutes from the airport. If you rent a car, the parking is included and safe. Only guests, owners and staff of the ESJ Azul can come into the property. Thank you Lionel and rest assured that my wife and I would look you up again for our next visit to Puerto Rico. Again, thank you.

I'm a time-share member, but last minute trip, I was fortunate to find Lionel to my rescue. When visiting Puerto , ESJ, for many years has been my #1 choice. The ESJ is located within multiple advantages, such as that of 5 minute from airport, taxis, seconds from public transportation to Old San Juan- Condado- airport- Rio Piedras- Carolina-Pinones-Loiza- Santurce- Train stations (.75). Close to casinos, eateries - fast foods- tropical sit down restaurants - well known restaurants, supermarket, post office, Walgreens, car rental, etc... ESJ has a fabulous pool, private entry to beach, excellent bar and entertainment, mini market, restaurant, parking, laundry, game room, free Wi-Fi spots. All staff Hospitality is highly rated. Cleanliness of units and public areas superb. Mr. Lionel, extends himself from initiating your request for information and suave reservation process. His rates are outstanding, within this area and complex. He walks you, thru step by step details with rates, surcharges, contract, payments, arrival/duration/departure instructions. His unit is comfortable, clean, has updates and all necessary commodities. Will reach out to you, during your stay. Best of all ESJ is safety and privacy oriented all around. Great choice, when traveling alone or family. Lionel offers top-notch rates; comfortable unit and very cordial. I rate it *****+.
