Condado Del Mar

This is a true case of not judging a book by its cover! At first glance, this place looks like your regular, run of the mill building from outside. But once you come inside, the building is absolutely beautiful and well maintained! The pool is fantastic, it may even be Olympic size. But nothing beats that beach view and private access to Condado beach. This place is absolutely beautiful. The area is gorgeous. The winds coming off the beach make no need for air conditioning in the condo! The blue skies the palm trees everything is great. The way to go when visiting San Juan is to rent an apartment and live like a local. I can’t believe these local people live like this every day. I am so jealous. This is the best decision I’ve ever made and can’t wait to come back to this very same spot for some peace and tranquility while here in San Juan Puerto Rico

As usual, I found this place on VRBO and was excited about staying here. When I arrived, it wasn’t what I thought it would be.
When I stepped out of the elevator, I was shocked to see all units had wrought iron gates. I got a bad vibe. It looked like a jail cell block. I did a very quick walk through with Lorena, Property Manger. I should have looked a little closer and asked a few more questions. The biggest complaint I have is in the master bathroom. My girlfriend walked in to use it and immediately came out looking disgusted. The toilet had feces all over it. I now knew this unit was not being kept up. We ended up buying cleaning materials and cleaned the unit ourselves. I called Lorena 6 times to tell her about this and also a problem with the television, no answer. She called me back 24 hours later. I also called Dr. Claudio and have not received a call back to this date. The AC unit in the master bedroom has no control. It gets pretty cold in there and you literally have to get out of bed and unplug it from the wall.
The only positive thing I can say about this review is that it is located in the Condado area, which is the best area in San Juan for entertainment, casinos, restaurants. It’s also around 10 to 15 minutes from the airport, Old San Juan and other attractions.
I have travelled to 23 countries and 30 plus states in the past 10 years. I always stay in very nice places. This was not one of them. Overall, I would not stay here again. I would not recommend this apartment.

This is your best bet when renting an apartment Vs a hotel in San Juan. it is located in Condado area which is the best area in San Juan for entertainment, casinos, restaurants, 15 minutes to the airport and 15 minutes to Old San Juan and other attractions.
It is right on the beach, has a pool which they keep clean and a kid’s pool, even a small exercise room and coin laundry. It is smacked right in the middle of the big hotels so even if you want a different beach spot you can walk 5 minutes to your right or left and find a spot that caters to your liking.
there are several owners and agencies renting private units here (thru airbnb and other sites), some are cabanas which are small low rise town-​house style units others are in the main high-​rise building, each one is different and different sizes, some are better kept than others but the few times we have rented here we been lucky.
Absolutely recommend!

Oh dear, where do I begin?
Condado del Mar is an apartment complex with an even mix of locals and tourists. It’s located in one of the best areas in San Juan — near the hotels, bars, restaurants and most importantly Condado Beach.
I found this place on airbnb and was thrilled at the amenities, but when I arrived, it wasn’t the paradise as promised. The building was decrepit and falling apart, and two of the three elevators didn’t work. Ever. Our windows leaked whenever it rained, and we had an infestation of mutant ants everywhere (no matter what we did, we couldn’t get rid of them!).
I’ll give this place two stars for the friendly security guards and great location. Otherwise, stay elsewhere.
