We found Monique and Gerry's Los Colibris just as described, with the units being clean, quiet, professionally managed, and just two blocks from the best beach in the area. The completely uncrowded beach had some shaded areas and a beautiful vista, which included a couple of afternoon rainbows. We regularly walked for miles along the contiguous Ocean Park and Condado beaches. Some may find a rental car useful, particularly for getting a lot of groceries or going out later in the evening. Monique and Gerry were both so accommodating and helpful with information about the area. Upon inquiring casually if there might be a blender on the property, one magically appeared in our unit (Monique and Gerry's personal blender) while we were out for our last evening beach walk! Thanks for a relaxing visit. We would definitely recommend this property to others planning a trip to San Juan.

We stayed at the Agua suites for 8 nights. Our family loved the apartment and location. The apt was only 2 blocks from the beautiful beach. We were able to walk the best bakery in town. Monique and her husband gave us great information about the area restaurants and activities. The patio was a wonderful place to just sit and relax. It was so peaceful. We will hopefully be back one day.

We stayed at El Prado Villas for 2 weeks in July, a family of 9. The apartments were just like home. It had all the amenities you could think about. Very secure and very clean. Every morning we had breakfast outside on the terrace. Great beach and park within walking distance, huge supermarket nearby "Super Max" and close to the highway. A car is a must if you want to move around. Great Chinese food delivery and much more restaurants nearby. I would definitely recommend this property, already have and will definitely stay here again. Keep up the good work Monique.

Owner response:Lorraine and Kary, thank you! Your big, lovely, happy family will be remembered, always laughing, the little girls dispensing hugs, and the delicious aromas of Lorraine's cooking... Monique

We arrived late into the airport and Monique and her husband met us at the property. We rented 2 units since there were 7 of us. The units were clean and had a nice patio area. The downside is that is you walk about 2 blks away from the beach you are at the projects. This is not an area you want to walk in after dark or even during the day. The beach was nice but if you stay here, rent a car. The taxis are expensive after a time. Buses do not run on a regular schedule. My son got married while we were here and Monique recommended a place for all of us girls to get our hair done on the day of the wedding, which was a Sunday and hard to find an open salon. When we do come back to San Juan we will look in the Isla Verde area instead,

Owner response:Karla, thank you for your "4-star review". I'm happy you liked the property and that I could help you out when your arriving flight was horribly delayed and when you couldn't find a Beauty Salon open on a Sunday. I agree you should have rented a car if you were going to be spending all your time in Isla Verde. But about the area, I fear you were influenced by an unscrupulous Taxi Driver who wanted to scare you into calling her every time you went anywhere... Our guests/tenants have been walking around the Gated Neighborhood of Ocean Park for the past 15 years, and never had a single incident. All the high-income beach areas have a project near (the government's idea back then was to keep Domestic Help close to their places of employment), ...including Isla Verde, which has "Playita"! One really has to go out of one's way to be close to any of them! If you don't go looking for trouble, it won't come looking for you. And you could have saved all that Taxi money...

Our family was in San Juan for a wedding at the Mariott. We decided to stay at Los Colibris with two other families. It was a perfect setup for us - and much more affordable than the Marriott. We were able to have breakfasts together, sit on the patio, walk to the nearby beach, etc. The rooms are nicely decorated and clean...just as pictured on this site. Monique is very helpful and accomodating, giving us maps of favorite spots and menus from nearby restaurants. We enjoyed our time here and would return.

Owner response:Hi John & Kathy, thanks for your good words, and also for staying with us! Hope to see you again.

What a wonderful and charming place to stay! Clean, airy, and roomy. Location was great, convenient to Condado, Old San Juan, and major highways, yet the house is tucked in a quiet gated neighborhood. Loved Monique! She is wonderful and very helpful. I will definatley be going back to stay at Los Colibris! Thanks for your wonderful hospitality Monique!!!

Owner response:Thank YOU, Melissa...it was a real pleasure seeing you happy.
