Retreat in rural Puerto Rico
This rural retreat in Hatillo, Puerto Rico is certainly among the nicest in this community. Beautiful beaches and good restaurants are within 15-20 minutes, and local community is welcoming. The pool is a lovely component of the home. All bedrooms and bathrooms are air-conditioned and thoughtfully appointed. However, there is no air conditioning in the family room and kitchen, which is a challenge for guests expecting to spend family time in the great room space or to cook/share meals. While we had an overall good experience, investment in air-conditioning in the main living space/kitchen and cleaning/overhaul of the kitchen, providing cutlery and better cookware/cooking utensils, and eliminating the need for flypaper in the kitchen (especially with animals in adjacent yards) is essential for future guests. We made the most of our time by leaving home during the day to experience the beauty of nature and for meals. At times, we gathered in one air-conditioned bedroom to watch TV together. I’m grateful our group was so easygoing about the conditions given our collective expectations and need for a break. The online profile promises a utopian experience but was overpriced given the above limitations. With some attention to these details, it would be a fantastic retreat. The host is responsive and can arrange transportation and tours in a luxury van, but I would recommend renting a car, given the need to drive everywhere except perhaps for a tour to sit back and enjoy the ride.
