Great place, the pictures shown in this site are nothing compared to what it actually looks like. This condo is the BEST place to stay, instead of a hotel, very clean and well maintained. Fully equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, towels, coolers, beach chairs etc. it made our stay feels like home. Mary and the security staff were excellent, definitely a GREAT place to get away, its your home away from home!!!

THE GUYS AND I WERE VERY PLEASE WITH THE STAY IN YOUR VERY CLEAN AND GORGEOUS ACCOMMODATION AND THE VIEW OF THE OCEAN. THE ROOMS WERE VERY SPACIOUS,WE LIVED LIKE KINGS. THE SECURITY WAS EXCELLENT. IT WOULD HAVE BE NICE TO HAVE HAD AN OUTSIDE AREA FOR BARBECUING AND THE TEMP OF THE HOT TUB COULD HAVE BEEN SOMEWHAT HIGHER. GREAT PLACE FOR FAMILY AND ALL. THE PRICE WAS VERY FAIR. BEST REGARDS TO GLADYS AND MARY

Owner response:Thank you so much.I will keep trying to make it better. Gladys

My family had a great 3 days at this very economical condo. The location is good, near the ferry and lots of restaurants. We especially loved Olelelolai a local tapas place, and ate there twice, loved the passion fruit sangria. The furnishing were clean and comfortable, all amenities included, even beach and pool toys to my son's delight. The 3 pools and fitness were well maintained and secure, the slide was awesome for kids. The only hassle was getting in the first day as security is very tight, but after that all was good. Easy drive to Luquillo and El Yunque, a rental car is a must.

Wonderful Vacation at Gladys' Condo

This was a perfect vacation spot. The condo is clean, beautiful, spacious and centrally located for all things to do in Fajardo. I would recommend this condo to anyone who wants to get away from it all or be busy seeing the great sites in Puerto Rico. Everything is close by - beaches, nature, a world class hotel and great restaurants.

Owner response:Thank you, Jackie

This was the best!!! The pictures cannot do proper justice to the apartment. I was expecting a nice place with a good view. I got a great place with a breath taking view. I cannot recommend this condo enough, although it may take away my ability to rent it again. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

I spent a week at Peña Mar with my husband, my 2-year-old son and my parents and we had an awesome time. The view from the apartment is breathtaking and the apartment itself was very beautiful and clean. All of the beds in the apartment were very comfortable. I always wake up with back pain when I sleep in a bed from a hotel room and I didn't have any pain whatsoever after sleeping in these beds. The apartment is located in a very convenient spot, close to a lot of places that are a must see, especially "El Yunque Rainforest." Gladys and her niece Mary were very nice and helpful and we didn't even have to contact them for anything since everything turned out perfect! We were very sad when our stay at the apartment ended and we hope to do this again next year.

We are a family of 4, with two boys ages 9 and 3. We stayed at Gladys' condo in July of 2009. The condo has a very home-like feel to it and is NOT like some of the "over-the-top" condos we have been in with very child-unfriendly decorations and furnishings. It was extremely clean, had easy access and privacy with the gated entry, was very well furnished, and was located in a place that made it easy for us to have the active vacation we wanted. The Pena Mar club itself is very nice and our boys loved the pools when we had a little down time back at "home-base". Gladys and her niece, Mary, were both very nice and helpful in answering any questions we had. Make sure to eat at Mary's restaurant, ole lelolai, while you are there! Our 9 year old demanded that we "go back to Mary's" for our last meal in Fajardo. Overall this was a great condo for us to stay in and gave us everything we wanted and more!

Tropical Breezes

This condo was really wonderful. We woke up to the sound of birds and fresh ocean breezes every morning. During the week we felt as if the entire complex was ours since most of the owners only come on the weekends. Really liked the small gym and the middle pool the best. Although you have to drive to get to the beach, this condo is really nice.

Perfect Vacation Spot

The condominium, the complex and the view is breathtaking. My family enjoyed our stay so much that they have been asking when we could go back. The complex is beautiful with its 3 pools and fitness room. The security personnel were very friendly and accomodating. We spent a week in the condominium. Which was exactly as described and the rooms were more spacious then they appeared in the pictures. We spent 2 days at the condo enjoying the pools and the view of the ocean and the marina from our balcony. This was the perfect location to go anywhere from. We did day trips: snorkeling across the street at the Villa Marina Bay; Loquillo Beach (about 15 minutes away); then to El Conquistador hotel and casino (10 minutes away)and to El Morro and San Cristobol in San Juan (about 45 minutes away). My family would like to thank Gladys for opening up her wonderful home to us and Mary, her neice for providing us with wonderful directions to the local stores, restuarants and being available by phone when needed. Thank you again for everything, we hope to make this an annual vacation spot. Migdalia and Family
