Long Weekend

We stayed in A World Apart Villa for the long weekend after a spontaneous decision to get away to Puerto Rico. The Villa was clean spacious with great ocean views (at less than half the price of those resort hotels). The house had everything we needed to enjoy the beach and at 1 hr drive from San Juan we were away from the crowds, but not too far to do some sightseeing and tours.

The property was spacious and clean. We also appreciated having a full kitchen and outdoor griddle. The beach was nice but there was significant seaweed washed up on the sand which may have been due to recent storms. Proximity to a full size grocery store was a little disappointing as we had to drive 20 minutes just to get to a very crowded Walmart.

Response from VrboOwner on 27 Oct 2025
Hi Michael, thank you for your feedback. The seaweed is completely natural during summer towards the end of fall, and it has cleared up now. We are sorry the nearest large grocery store is 20 minutes away, but there is a medium one within Palmas del Mar that most guests like to use. We hope you'll visit us again!

Great place for with many accommodations

The place was very spacious with great communal spaces to hang out. The two balconies were very nice. Plenty of bathrooms for all guests. The pool was nice but they closed it for cleaning the last day we were there. The beach was accessible but not cleanest. Conditions prevented us from swimming due to current storms that passed by. The community was gated and had plenty of amenities which was very nice for eating, going out all while we felt extremely safe. We would stay here again!

Just as advertised

We loved the property. it was as advertised. Everything in order. Plenty of room for our family. We didn’t cook in the property. We used the grass and pool area. Our biggest expectation is cleanliness and it was great. Communication and check-in was really easy.

My first VRBO Experience

The condo is absolutely beautiful. We felt as if we were at home. All amenities were there. We did go out to the the local Wal-Mart to get a few items before discovering that most of the items were already provided. Plenty of dishes, utensils, pots, pans, complimentary coffee, grill, games, beach accessories, towels, blankets, pillows. There will definitely be a future booking in 2025.

Perfect location!

We returned to Palmas for the first time since 2015 and were so excited to find the area just as we remembered! The location of the condo was perfect for our group. We made use of all the spaces- wish we could’ve been on the upper deck more but unfortunately it rained off and on while we were there and left that space too wet. The condo had everything we needed. Check-in was easy other than confusion over the entry code. Check-out was super simple. Unfortunately we did lose power (apparently a scheduled outage) for most of the day one day but luckily we had planned a day trip and weren’t home for most of the time it was out. I would highly recommend the condo and location! We will definitely be back!

Paradise

This was a fantastic property. Being located in Palmas Del Mar provided a sense of security. The property was spacious and allowed my family to spread out comfortably. The complex was right on the beach where the views to the ocean were magnificent. The pool available was a great option and we spent many an hour splashing around and sunbathing. There is easy access to surrounding supermarkets in Humacao, as well as a small convenience mart and multiple restaurants in Palmas Del Mar itself. Traveling to our various island excursions was easy as the property was located fairly centrally and far enough away from the large city to provide added peace and relaxation. The property manager was clear in all communications with me both before and during the stay. My family and I had an unforgettable vacation in Puerto Rico and it all started with our stay at A World Apart villa.

Haven on earth

Palmas Del Mar is a master-planned resort community located on the southeastern coast of Puerto Rico in Humacao, spanning approximately 2,750 acres. It’s a picturesque haven blending natural beauty with upscale amenities, making it a popular destination for both visitors and residents. The community features pristine beaches along a seven-mile coastline, two championship golf courses, and the largest tennis center in the Caribbean with 20 courts. Other amenities include a large marina, multiple swimming pools, a fitness center, and flexible event spaces.The area is known for its lush landscapes, with palm trees creating a tropical atmosphere, and offers stunning views of the Caribbean Sea and nearby El Yunque Rainforest. Palmas Del Mar is structured as a gated “city” with 32 distinct neighborhoods. Our private beach front , 3 story villa rental, with pool access was the perfect comfortable quiet place to relax . The views were stunning, the private beach sand was incredibly comfortable and smooth, the ocean water is turquoise blue and warm in this area. I will miss sleeping to the sound of the ocean waves. Restaurants and Supermarket within a few minutes driving distance. Thanks Paola for being a great host and quickly responding to fix minor issues. A pleasure staying at Palmas Del Mar. Karl.

Very Nice Location but needs some renovation & upkeep

The agent personally provided good, polite, friendly service which we appreciated. Overall we felt the apartment/villa was good but definitely not great - especially the 3rd floor bedroom needed repairs and updating, and the twin bed 2nd floor had some issues. The glass top on a side table in the living room has a complete 'spider web' cracked surface. The construction nextdoor was listed in the description but we originally missed it; we'd strongly recommend that it be listed in bold at the top of the listing. Noisy in the a.m. We sent some pictures of the wear and tear that needs attention thru the app. Some of the kitchen pans could use a thorough cleaning or replacement. Lastly, we were disappointed that guests could not use the fitness center, tennis courts, etc. without additional fees. We had some great meals at restaurants, and side trips. Overall very friendly place.

Outdated but lovely

The property is exactly as it looks and you can’t beat the proximity to the beach and pool. The management company was super responsive and courteous and handled our hiccups as well as could be expected. There was an internet problem which is unavoidable, but our biggest issues were that the room with double beds where my kids slept had no blackout curtains- just sheer panels that did nothing to keep the 6 am sunlight out. Needless to say we had needlessly early mornings. The curtains were there just not installed which makes it even more frustrating. The other issue was with the top bedroom’s bed which was super lumpy and had bed springs protruding towards the surface. It was poorly covered by a couple of mattress toppers. We called and the management company graciously came and replaced the mattress toppers. There was also construction being done on the exterior of the property while we were there- warning about this would have been appreciated. Other than that, the unit is spacious and comfortable with tvs and bathrooms in each room. The beach toys and chairs are appreciated! Palmas Del Mar is really lovely and is well groomed. I highly recommend!

Dated condo at a beautiful location

This property was ok but some things to know, both good and we wish we were aware of. Good. Beautiful beach location. Fantastic views. Beautiful grounds. Well stocked unit with spices and necessities. Palmas DelMar is easy to get around with lots of good restaurant options. A couple of our favorites were Pizzella and La Pescaderia. Don’t let the reviews detour you. The food at LaPescadaria is worth any wait and we didn’t have any service issues for any of our 3 visits there. Remember you are on island time. Be aware. While the listing notes construction starting in Feb 2023, it is still going on next door Feb 2024 and can start at 8AM and be very loud and disruptive. This unit itself is dated and in need of some key updates. The 3rd floor master is in desperate need of a new mattress. The shower is barely a trickle and wasn’t usable. We had to use the second floor bathroom in the 3rd room which was better but inconvenient. The upper lanai holds a lot of water and there was a constant drip to the lower lanai. Luckily the owners put a large umbrella which was open all the time so we weren’t getting dripped on. The downstairs bathroom had a leak in the wall which pooled up on the floor in front of the toilet. We contacted the property manager on the leaking issues and they were not very timely in their response. Maintenance came as was there less than 10 minutes, flushed the toilet 10 times and left. The leak continued and required a towel on the floor.
