10/10 Excellent

The stay was better than expected. Nice staff, clean, and close to lots of things. I would stay here again.
Henessy, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

La Buena Vida Inn was a phenomenal stay for my son and I. The staff was so helpful and kind, the room was always comfortable and the stay was quiet. Will absolutely be returning. Thank you for such a great vacation!
Cheyenne Emele, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Small boutique inn. Our room was spacious and had enough room for the 3 of us. Beds were comfortable and staff was helpful and friendly. Located close to shops, restaurants and the beach. They also had a separate parking lot where I could leave my rental car. Would definitely stay here again, next time I visit PR.
Jorge, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Perfect location for the beach
Kondesha, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Upon arrival we were greeted by the front desk who was more than helpful. She put together a little pamphlet of nearby places to eat and things to do which was very nice. The room was cute and clean as well as the shared lobby area. Also the location is close to many restaurants and beaches. The staff were very exceptional and very friendly, and made us feel welcomed. I highly recommend staying here.

Near lots of stuff but tucked in a little neighborhood street. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly, and were very enthusiastic about sharing information about PR with me. The place is very comfortable with lots of public spaces and cozy rooms.

Very awesome staff and very clean.
marisa, 4-night trip

6/10 Okay

This place was ok for a last minute booking. Some rooms do not have their own bathroom in the room, it’s across the hall. Common areas do not have AC. Our room had a working AC unit, shower handle fell off when we turned on the water, it was fixed the next day. Staff is very friendly and helpful. It’s not situated in the nicest area. Uber rides to Old San Juan ranged $6-$15.
Susi, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

This is a house converted to Inn. It is cosy and simple with nice kitchen area upstairs.

Great stay
Daniela, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I had a great stay at this hotel in Puerto Rico. It was quiet, comfortable, and had everything I needed for a smooth trip. The location was super convenient — I was able to get to Old San Juan, Condado Beach, La Placita, and even El Yunque with ease using Ubers. The staff was friendly and helpful, and there were plenty of walkable spots nearby for food and sightseeing. Overall, a solid place to stay if you want both peace and easy access to the island’s best attractions.
Mario, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

The front desk ladies were so lovely (Nicole and Maria I believe). They made me feel comfortable, safe and were so informative on the area! I would love to come back! My only issue was that there should be a shelf inside the showers to hold bath items. But other than that, it was close to everything and I had a great time. Also loved the waters stocked in the fridge!
Kailah, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Lots of nearby shops, food places and close to many must-visit places. Friendly staff and clean location.
Luis, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great place to stay, clean and friendly staff. Only complaint I have is that the pillows are terribly thin. The property really needs to invest in proper hotel pillows as these ones are obviously cheap.
