Puerto Rican honeymoon

We stayed at Palma Vista for our honeymoon and loved the condo. The condo was exactly as described/pictured. It was clean, well-maintained, beautifully decorated and had everything needed (linens, complete kitchen setup, beach chairs/towels, snorkeling gear, etc.). Myrta was great! She communicated with us (email and telephone) promptly prior to the trip and sent detailed directions for the drive from the airport to the condo. Upon arrival, she and her husband Jose met us at the condo to provide keys and show us around the condo. The ocean can be seen from the balcony (just across the parking lot). Seven Seas beach is just steps away (across the street) and is long enough to go for a nice walk or find a secluded spot farther down the beach near the nature preserve. Our favorite beaches were Playa Escondido and Playa Colora, which are accessed via a trail through the mangroves on the western side of Seven Seas beach. (From the condo, cross the street, turn left, and walk to the end of the beach. Follow the signs to the trailhead.) These beaches were secluded and very quiet. The kitchen was stocked with dishes, pots/pans, and utensils. Throughout the week, we both cooked in and ate out. (There are several modern grocery stores and a Wal-mart on PR 3 near the turnoff to the condo.) We also bought some wonderful local fruit from a roadside stand. In terms of dining out, we really enjoyed both La Estacion and OleLelolai. Both had good vegetarian options (the mofongo and rice and beans are excellent!) and both gave very large portions -- enough for us to eat leftovers for another meal. OleLelolai was very elegant with wonderful ambiance and great balcony views of the ocean at night.

Owner response:Our best wishes for a happy life together, it was our pleasure to have you on the start of your marriage. Hope to have you back in one of your anniversaries!!! Best Regards, Myrta and Jose

This is an excellent condo. The pictures don't do it justice. The owner, Myrta, is very helpful.

We've travelled to Fajardo many times and decided that this was the best place we've ever stayed. The apartment was very clean, modern and comfortable with everything you need. The complex is not too large and very quiet. It's also very well maintained and secure (thanks Don Samuel!). The location is terrific. Directly across from the beach, close to great local food, shopping, and all the vacation activities you might want (biobay, kayaking, snorkeling, rainforest, etc). Myrta was a perfect host. She even called during our visit to make sure everything was satifactory. We will definitely be back.

Your home was amazing! It is a perfect location for exploring all that Fajardo & the surrounding areas have to offer - El Yunque Rainforest, Bio Bay Kayaking (a MUST do adventure!), snorkeling trips & a trip to Old San Juan. Thank you for opening your home to us!

My wife, kids and I, as well as my parents all stayed here for the second half of our PR stay. It was a welcomed treat: large, open and airy. Great access to pool, beach and food. The owners were there to greet us and very helpful in showing us the home. It had everything that we would need for our stay. We plan to stay here during our next visit.

Wonderful condo, with all the amenities. Close to beach, rainforest, casino, golf, market, ferry to island, mini boat adventure and kayaking. Six of us stayed for a week and thoroughly enjoyed the place. Nice pool, quiet. The kitchen had everything necessary to cook in if you want. Two bathroom, laundry. Myrta and Jose, we can't thank you enough for a wonderful spot. The place was just like the pictures, clean, and included an information book of the area.

Myrta and Jose, it will be hard to find something as good as this apt. in Palma Vista. we don't want to leave. Perfect location, gorgeus views, lovely furnishings and conveniences, not to mention "our" favorite pool...all made this our ideal vacation spot....and the best of all was that I was able to give my children the most amazing first memories of Puerto Rico--La Isla del Encanto. Muchas gracias and God bless...Ed
