Room Genie
Best picks
- Elite Suites: These come with a private heated pool—worth the splurge for total privacy.
- Privilege Suites: Feature a private jacuzzi on the terrace with killer sunset views.
- High-floor units: Better unobstructed ocean views and more privacy from the communal pool.
Rooms to avoid
- Ground floor units near the communal pool if you are shy (less privacy on the terrace).
- Serenity Suites if you want the 'wow' factor of a private jacuzzi/pool (they are the 'basic' option).
Room Request Genie – copy & paste
“I would love a high-floor suite with maximum privacy on the terrace. If available, a unit facing away from the communal pool area would be ideal for quiet.”

5 things to know before you go
💡The 'Smart Resort' tech can be glitchy; sometimes the app key takes a few tries to open the door.
💡The 'kitchenette' is well-equipped, but the on-site market is non-existent, so buy groceries in town before heading up the hill.
💡The pool bar food has been described as 'inedible' by some foodies—stick to drinks there.
💡You are in a tourist-heavy zone (Puerto Rico), so authentic local culture requires a drive out of town.
💡The 'sea view' is stunning, but you also overlook the concrete density of the Puerto Rico resort town below.
