  This was by far the most amazing vacation ever....Jose and Elena were not your typical landlords. Not only did they send info on how to get to and from the villa but information on other leisure activities. Jose called the night we landed to make sure we were safe and had gotten into the villa okay. The home they shared with us was breathtaking...the view amazing. I found myself awaking early every morning to stand on the private terrace just to take in the view and to hear the waves rolling onto the private beach. The villa was equipped with everything you needed just as if you were in your own home. there was plenty of room for all 7 of us. Not all villas on the resort have a private beach so if your looking for the beauty and relaxation with some privacy this is the villa to be in!! The pool was nice and stayed open until 10pm so we had lots of night swimming nights! Loved the security on the Resort which enabled the kids a little more freedom and the adults a little more adult time. The El Yunque rain forest was a wonderful surprise with a beautiful waterfall the kids were able to get wet in. We ate in many delicious resturaunts but the best by far was the one at the bottom of the road to the rain forest it was called Barbakoa. Old san juan is a must and if you go on the weekends they have the street vendors and the music is everywhere, the culture is amazing!! We will be going back next year unless we move there before then lol. Thank you Jose and Elena for sharing your beautiful home with us!!

  Our family was very comfortable for our weeklong stay in this townhome-style home with a rooftop sundeck and views of the ocean from the Master bedroom and living room. This home is truly equipped to ensure a comfortable stay, including all kitchen equipment needed to prepare meals, and beach towels for the beach and pool. The resort community is well maintained, and many restaurants are nearby. There is also a nature preserve in Palmas Del Mar to explore, and an onsite marina with trips to Vieques and Monkey Island. The owners are wonderful, providing advice on local day trips, and ensuring that arrival and departure are smooth. We highly recommend this rental unit and would return in the future!

  My wife and I would not hesitate to recommend Jose and Elena's lovely three bedroom condo at Crescent Cove. It was just what we had hoped for - spacious, clean, well decorated and full of amenities to make the condo feel like home. The location was ideal, with a nice view and quick access to the CC beach. My daughter and I had a fun night time swim in the pool under the stars. Palmas was also a bit better than I had expected - well groomed and much larger. Quite a few restaurants and a handy convenience store. We would recommend dinner at C.Bar Kitchen and the pizza at Flying Pizza. We found the location to be a great jumping off point to island activities - Rain Forest, Kayaking, Zip Lining, and the Beaches near San Juan. All within a one hour drive or less. If and when we come back to PR we would not hesitate to stay at Palmas and of course, Jose and Elena's condo. Bill & Sarah Letsky Andover, MA

  This is at least our 6th stay at Jose and Elena's beautiful villa. Everything was as advertised. Clean and well maintained. The owners are very friendly and accommodating. The pool, the beach, the restaurants on the property and all of the other amenities of Palmas make it very difficult not to have a great time. If we want to rest and relax the beach is right outside the back of the villa. I went deep sea fishing this year and also was able to play several rounds of golf at the two championship style golf courses. The tennis club is very large and well taken care of as well. I would definitely recommend this villa for a wonderful getaway, and by the way it was 80-84 degrees everyday and 67-70 at night. Perfect!

  We stayed at Jose and Elena's home Nov 8-15. It was even more beautiful in person. Great bedrooms, gorgeous views from the decks, very comfortable. Exactly as presented. We went for a few evening swims in the pool (you must do this!). So great to be outside listening to the ocean and the coqui singing, and looking up at these perfectly clear stars that you will never see if you are in the city. The evenings are mild enough that you can open the windows and just go to sleep to that sound. We were a little worried when we arrived because the forcast was for rain and lightening every day. However - it's a very different rain than what we have in Washington. Puerto Rico rain is a downpour of about 30 minutes, and then it's over and done the rest of the day. We felt as if we hit the low-season jackpot. Many times there was nobody else on the beach. We almost always had the pool to ourselves. It was truly great. Prior to arriving, Jose was beyond helpful in giving us information on some things that we could do while in Puerto Rico. Both the rain forest and the bio-bay are just a short drive away. We also went on the caving adventure, and took the ferry to Guilligan's island, went to the Bacardi distillery, and spent some time in San Juan. The days when we were not out exploring, we spent time waking up to make some 8 am pina coladas, laying out on the top deck, and walking the beach. What beats that? The kitchen had everything we needed to be able to come 'home' relax,and make some of our own meals. Shopping is nearby, and there are also resturants nearby at the Plaza. We had a great time, and can't say thank you enough for the opportunity to stay at this beautiful home! H & S in Washington

  I am one to search and search and search for places to stay and pray that i made the right decision. This place far exceeded my expectations. It is WOW. Beautiful, Clean, Super comfortable. Entering Palmas Del Mar had a main security gate then another security gate over at Crescent Cove. (very secure area). so if you dont belong there you are not getting in. As we opened the doors to the villa it was heaven. It smelled and looked so clean. The place is beautifully decorated did i forget to mention WOW? Kitchen, dining table, breakfast nook, microwave, washer/dryer, oven were all available and used. It had a very comfortable living room where we would all relax before going to bed. Upstairs we had a beautiful master bedroom with its own bathroom and cable tv. Across the hall my son and his buddy slept on their own separate beds and they had their own bathroom. One more level up was my daughter's bedroom w/ separate bathroom and an entrance to the terrace. WOW what a view. And if you want to work on your tan this is the place to go in the morning. We(I) also grilled a couple nights and hung out at the terrace. I could not have stayed at a better place. Communication with Jose was super via email or phone call. spoke to him a few months before our trip and I felt like i was talking to a family member. I did not need anything while there cause the place had it all. There is a walmart nearby so getting groceries was not a problem. If i were to say of where i went i'd run out of space. I actually toured the entire island and took a ferry to Vieques. After driving to all these places it was soooo nice to come "home" to a great place and relax. Id like to keep this place to myself but I cant. The place is so nice it has to be shared. I really hope to come back soon to this villa. I miss it already. Jose and Elena thank you so much for allowing my family to stay at your lovely villa. It made our vacation so much better. Gracias.

  We spent a full week at Crescent Cove in Palmas del Mar and enjoyed every minute. The villa was lovely, offering a comfortable atmosphere where everyone could make themselves at home. We spent most of the time at the pool and beach, with a few day trips to San Juan, El Yunque and a boat trip to Vieques for snorkelling. We will definitely visit Puerto Rico again and would not hesitate to stay at Crescent Cove in Palmas Del Mar. The owners were lovely from the beginning, and very responsive during our stay. Many thanks to Jose and Elena for the use of their lovely home. It was everything we hoped it would be.

  We just returned home after a truly wonderful stay and Jose & Elena's beautiful home in Crescent Cove/Palmas Del Mar. We can't believe that yesterday we were playing the in the sun and surf and now we are dealing with cold rainy (at least it's not snow!) New England winter. This was our first VRBO rental and it was such a great experience. Jose & Elena couldn't have been more pleasant and helpful. The home was just as represented. . . lovely and in perfect condition. Jose & Elena provided such helpful information about Palmas del Mar and the surrounding area activities. We visited El Yunque, took a BioBay Kayak tour, went snorkeling and had plenty of relaxing beach time. How wonderful to have the beach just steps away. This was our first visit to Puerto Rico but we'll be back to hopefully stay at Jose & Elena's again in the future. Thanks for making this such a wonderful family vacation. Barbara & Andy

  A wonderful and fabulous spot in Palmas del Mar. We have visited this area quite a few times over the past few years and this was the nicest unit in which we have stayed. The three bedroom and three-and-a-half baths were well appointed. As well, the first floor living area and two decks afford comfortable living space. The kitchen is very nice and opens to the living area and Crescent Cove can't be beat as the perfect place to stay in Palmas--great pool and beach location. As well, the owners were great--lots of information before arrival and a friendly call once we arrived. There is a lot to do in Palmas--golf, tennis, walking, relaxing by the pool or beach, etc... and plenty of family friendly places to eat. Overall, a perfect family vacation. We hope to return!

  It's been a few weeks since we returned from Palmas Del Mar Resort, Puerto Rico and we're already drafting our return trip. Thank you, Jose and Elena Galindez for sharing your beautiful villa with us. The villa was gorgeous and it encompassed all our needs and exceeded our expectations. It was clean, spacious and the kitchen provided all the essentials needed . The bedrooms were also spacious and the bathrooms appropriately supplied. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool as well as the beach, and the terrace offered an exceptional view. The casino was enjoyable as well as convenient as it was in short walking distance. The two golf courses were stunning, specially the back 9's , with it's spectacular views . Quite sincerely, we really don't have any complaints. We had a great stay,accompanied by great weather . Can't get any better than that!
