Solimar Luquillo Beach /Rainforest/Bio Bay Solimar Beach Deluxe Beach Complex

My husband and I stayed here with his sister and her two young children. This villa truly felt like a home away from home. It has all the amenities of home you would need and Pepe made us feel so welcome! He had an amazing chocolate torte and Sangria waiting for us when we got there after a late flight, it was perfect.

The complex is location is perfect and so clean!

We will be staying here again!

This is our 2nd vacation rental, and we won't go back to hotels.... Pepe's place is great! The place has everything you could possibly need... Air conditioners would cool off the room(s) in minutes. Pepe told me that he had the best Internet service in PR, and he wasn't kidding! Very fast.... we really appreciated this, since we liked to go online to search & plan out our events for the next day. He also has a house phone that you can use to call anywhere in PR, and back to the US. FYI, if you have a Verizon or Sprint cell phone, you have service in PR.

Location is great too. We flew in to San Juan, and Pepe's place is ~35 minutes away. It's very easy to get to - just off of PR3. There's an Amigo store and a Walgreens across PR3 (a minute away). There's also a Ralph's and a Walmart a few minutes south on PR3, along with the ferry ports to get to Culebra and Vieques. Just north of the resort is a strip of small restaurants (Kioskos de Luquillo) that you have to check out! We've been to Revolution Pizza Shop and Terruno, and would recommend both. One of our favorite restaurants in the area is La Estacion (~20 minutes away, in Fajardo). If you're looking for local food, check out Los Pinos Lechonera. It's best on a weekend (Sat/Sun), and get there before noon if you want to find parking!

I've never been concerned about security in PR, but if you are, Silomar is a very secure gated community. There's a guard on duty at all times, to let you in the resort. The resort is also super clean, and has a pool and tennis courts. The house also has a great back yard. If you like to cook outdoors, you'll really like Pepe's set-up - he has a nice Weber grill, a fire pit, and also a wok, all built in! The entire back yard is surrounded by gardens and plants - Pepe has put a lot of work in to this!

In addition to the place having everything that we needed, the owner (Pepe) is also a great guy. He came out to personally meet us, and show us around the place. He loves PR, and wants you to enjoy his great island. He is a wealth of knowledge and will tell you anything you need to know. Thanks for letting us stay at your place, and we look forward to staying at your place again next year!

We stayed here in Feb of 2017 and had a wonderful time. Talking to the owner “DON PEPE” was an enjoyable experience because he saw to all the important details. He showed us how everything worked and went the extra mile in making sure we were comfortable. After explaining the operations of everything he took the time to drive around the area to show us where all the important spots were for instance the grocery store, pharmacy, pool, beach, restaurants etc. The accommodations were sparkling clean and stocked with fresh sheets and towels. The air conditioners worked great and took only minutes to cool off the whole place. New appliances were well appreciated especially the ice maker. He stocked the fridge with a great bakery chocolate cake and a large container of sangria made with fresh fruit. We also slept late the day of our flight and had to leave fast and left some of our things there. He saw to it to make sure everything was returned. We will be back! Mucho Gracias Don Pepe.

Muchas Gracias Don Pepe Thank You for providing us with a Great Value Vacation . Amenities like not other from Wi Fi to Security and best Location to Luquillo Beach and Blue Beach everything close . Spent some relaxing moments at all three Beach areas and Rainforest and Bio Bay . Thank You will be back again and soon 2018 . Jan Steve

We spent two weeks at this property and found in to be comfortable for our needs. The place was clean and well stocked with items to make it like being at our own home. There were plenty of beach items to use and our host was very helpful with getting us set up and providing details about the area. We had stayed in Laquillo before and love the area. The Kiosks are great (Monkey threads for souvenirs, Edelweiss was good and Revolution Pizza was AWESOME). We also loved the Brass Cactus down the road! If you stay here you are close to El Yungue and many activities in Fajardo like the Bio bay tour and boat/snorkel trips. Driving is unique but if you just remember to be a defensive driver you will do well. The only small knock on the location was that we weren't right on the beach but we were close enough (a couple blocks) that it wasn't a big issue. All in all it was a great family place to spend the holidays.
