  The apartment was roomy and spacious. It was fresh and clean, as well as it was modern and beachy. We were very comfortable. Our group consisted of 4 adults and 2 children. It has a great set up and a wonderfull terrace with views of both the ocean and the mountains as well as a front view of the pool. The only thing is that the Loft is not well ventilated. So it gets hot! Other than that evrything was wonderful and the owners were great.

  Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.

  Owner response: We really enjoyed having you and your family. We are thankful for your business and for taking good care of out place. Sorry to hear about the hotness of the place. It really was a though week in terms of the high temperatures across the Island. This summer started HOT! We do recommend spending time in the open private terrace while staying on the unit during the summer time. It's windy there.

  What a wonderful condo to stay in. We arrived after midnight, as we came from the west coast and lost many hours in travel. Rolando was accommodating to this, by leaving us a key and having someone come by the following day to check in on us and be sure we had everything we need. The house was wonderful. It was very clean, and well stocked with towels, blankets, pillows, all we needed. There were six adults traveling and we were more than comfortable. I felt as though there would have been room for more. The kitchen was well stocked with seasonings, oils, pots, pans, coffee pot, etc. There was more than enough silverware, and dishes, and plenty of seating in the living and dining areas. We really enjoyed cooking dinners on the huge roof top patio in the sunset. It was a great way to end every day. The bedrooms all had air conditioning and there were plenty of fans around the condo and a great breeze coming off the ocean to keep it too hot in the main areas. Aquatika has beautifully kept grounds. The pools were the perfect temperature, not too hot and not too cool. We were only slightly disappointed that the water slide was only available on the weekends, but when we saw all the life guards it made much more sense. Also, during the week, we were easily the only people in the pool, the complex was appeared empty. The lazy river didn't really flow, but we did enjoy inflating the provided pool floaties and slowly paddling ourselves down it with a cool beverage. It was more like a very long pool. The private beach was gorgeous, the water is warm, and it is large enough to share with the few other people out there. The gates do get locked at 7pm. This was the perfect oasis if you are looking to be outside of town, and enjoy time with friends or family. We had most our meals here, and were thankful for the large grocery store / Walmart being near by. In Loiza we didn't really go out much to eat, but we did really like the roadside food. This was a great location to get back and forth from San Juan or Fajardo. As it was pretty central between both. We enjoyed hiking in the En Yunque National Forest, scuba and snorkeling from Fajardo, and touring the bacardi factory in San Juan.

  The resort was beautiful and the grounds were well maintained. The location was close to San Juan, El Yunque and Luquillo Beach. The weekends are busy, but during the week the resort was very quite. The condo was very clean when we arrived. It is fully equipped with everything you will need for you stay. Very spacious! It was very easy to get ahold of Rolando if we needed anything. It was our first visit to Puerto Rico. We highly recommend this condo. We hope to return again.

  This was our first time in Puerto Rico and in fact our first vacation off mainland US, so we were not sure what to expect. The owners of the condo were great to work with and the property was very nice. We had some problems with the washer and the beds were a little thin but all in all the unit is as advertised. The complex Aquatika was very well cared for with great landscaping and maintenance. The beach is not nice at all, it is small and you can’t walk around the point in either direction. It was also very very dirty and was in fact very disappointing. The pools were nice but often times the hot tubs were off and the controls could not be accessed. The lazy river is small and was also turned off part of the day. The tennis courts and mini golf are in very poor repair. The pictures are not recent! The area around the condo was very depressed and run down, this appears to be the norm in Puerto Rico, trash is everywhere in this side of the island. We did visit the west coast and the interior and found it to be somewhat cleaner. The Bio-Bay tour was great and I would recommend the Kayak option, really cool. The area beaches were nice and for northern people like us the water was pleasantly warm and the climate is great. The roadside food was good (but very primitive), it was also cheap! If you don’t like fried foods pack a lunch! The bakeries were wonderful and the coffee is great. If you know what to expect I am sure you would like the area but we have learned that the internet can make anything look better than it is, so beware!

  Owner response: Rhett, first of all, thanks for the oppportunity to host your PR vacations and for taking great care of our condo. Sorry to hear about your impressions on the sorroundings. Please, do take into consideration that summer time is the best time to enjoy the beaty of most of our Island beaches, including Aquatika's. With regards the washer, although it was bought just a year ago, we will certainly take a closer look to its operation and take propper actions if not working properly. Best Regards.

  My family and I had an awesome stay at apartment 5603. It came equipped with everything we needed, making us feel right at home. Yolanda and Rolando were very nice and made our stay smooth and comfortable. I would recommend this apartment to all vacationers looking for a comfortable relaxing place to stay during their stay in Puerto Rico.

  Our vacation was very pleasant at Aquatika. Rolando was always available via phone or text or email. The apartment was perfect. Very comfortable and clean. There was abundancy of towels bed sheets and even toiletries. The apartment is very well furnished and beautifully decorated. the only downside was the slide to the pool and club house bar only opened on sat and sun and we rented for a week. So we only got to enjoy that part for 2 days. We had a blast would absolutely rent again!

  We stayed for 6 nights. I traveled with my husband and son (21 months). The location was perfect...close to San Juan, El Yunque, Luquillo beach. We took advantage of the kitchen and cooked each night, usually eating on the outdoor patio. Our son loved the pool and the 2 playgrounds. It was very easy to get ahold of Rolando and Yolanda if we needed anything. The property was clean and well-maintained. The weekends are busy with Puerto Rican owners enjoying themselves, but during the week the resort is very quiet. We highly recommend this condo. We hope to return again.

  We stayed at the unit for 10 days in March 2012 and had a great time. We brought our 5 children ages 1-12 with us.we choose Aquatka because it had something to do for each age range. The kids loved being ale to walk down and be able to jump in the pool It was great being able to sit on the rooftop deck, we brought our laptop out and would watch movies under the stars. We went to the rainforest twice, Old San Juan three times and to different beaches almost everyday. Try Antonellas Pizza in Old San Juan, we ordered a large and it almost covered the whole table for less than $20.00. On the costal road there is kiosko El Boricua, there is always a line up and the food is great! If you want to do a Biobay tour book before you go because they fill up fast and we waited to long (will have to go on our next trip). Also if you want to catch a ferry to one of the islands, go early as they fill up fast. We had a wonderful time and would recommend this condo. Thanks! Lisa, Patrick, Angus, Keagan, Ayden, Derek and Ambray

  We really enjoyed our stay. The condo was in a great location in the complex as well as on the island. It was nice to reach sight seeing locations without driving for long periods of time and spending our vacation in the car! The pools on the complex are great. The landscaping was beautiful. We always felt safe and secure, the staff on the complex were very welcoming and professional. All we have to say are good things and would recommend the condo to anyone who wants to have a great time!

  Highly recommend Aquatika in general, and this unit specifically! Previous positive reviews are very accurate. This is a GREAT place to stay for a relaxing, affordable vacation, with lots to do right at Aquatika and in the nearby area. The unit was clean, comfortable, and spacious, with an excellent location overlooking a large swimming pool and water slide. Our group included five adults and two kids (ages 2 and 4) and we're already thinking about our return to Aquatika. We explored the area in the mornings (el Yunque, Luquillo Beach, etc) and relaxed at Aquatika in the PM while our grand-daughter slept. When questions arose, Rolando was always a phone call or text away. One night, we had dinner at the casual (but delicious) Sea Grapes restaurant at the nearby St. Regis in Rio Grande --- their overnight rates for a double room for one night are almost as much as the week at Aquatika for the seven of us! Other more modest restaurants we tried were OK, but service was extremely slow -- OK for adults, not so great for toddlers. We did our shopping at Ralph's on Route 3 just off Route 187, but fresh fruit and vegetables were less than appealing. On a return visit, I'd cook up a few entrees and freeze them to bring along.
