Ventana Al Atlantico at Arecibo 681 Ocean Drive

The property has a beautiful view and spacious, however it’s not well maintained. The host was very fast responsive and very nice. Lost of parking.

Unbelievable scam. The beach was the only good thing. Just to a name few disappoin**ents: filthy room, cockroaches, no clear instructions upon arrival, screws sticking up out of the deck over the beach, unsafe, total waste of money.

Building needs and grounds need updated, not worth the price stove does not work construction is incomplete ocean area is beautiful but not safe to swim in the area

The contact person was always very friendly but the property is not of the quality they claim it has. A lot of disorganized work around and it is a poorly maintained property. The sheets were not washed and there was lipstick on one of the pillows. Insects inside the room due to lack of fumigation. They don't even provide soap for bathing and the stove is full of corrosion. The surroundings are a disaster and the owners promote the view of the sea and the pool and neglect the facilities.

Wet flooring unsafe. Caused a fall with an ankle fracture.

I had a great relaxing time the property owner was very polite and helpful

At the time of the check in i never received the email with the information. I was wanting for anout half an hour to finally get in contact with the manager

Always a favorite we have recommended many times

This property appears to be largely managed from a distance with little hands-on attention, if any at all, for long periods of time. Our room was dirty from top to bottom. The floors were unswept, the dishes were all dirty in the cabinets, the bathroom had used towels left behind from previous guests, and there were non-working appliances in the kitchen. To that end, the room (and the entire hotel) was without water from the sinks, toilets, or showers for the majority of our stay; this issue was not resolved when we left in the morning and other guests were still without water when we left. The wifi did not work during our stay and the air conditioning was locked in its setting with no way to adjust the temperature in the room. The bed frame was broken and falling apart. Further, there was not enough parking for all the hotel guests in the parking lot and many cars were blocked in or parked illegally in the property adjacent to the hotel. But all of this pales in comparison to the way in which the hotel handles its wastewater, which was piped directly onto the beach beneath the pool. I have pictures showing the pipe directly dumping human feces onto the beach where guests would otherwise hope to enjoy a beautiful, secluded, serene ***** of coast; the smell from this pipe was very apparent as it wafted down the beach for at least half a mile where we walked. Outside of those complaints, this hotel was either unaware or uncaring of the fact that it is currently sea turtle nesting season in Puerto Rico. There were bright, white lights blaring through the night at all hours, despite surrounding lamps and street lights being changed to red lights to prevent baby sea turtles from disorienting to the bright lights of the coast. I have photos documenting what appear to be disoriented hatchling sea turtle tracks, likely as a result of this hotel's blaring white lights along the beach. I am a marine ecologist and have spent more than a decade studying sea turtles, marine conservation, and marine resource management; I would be happy to elaborate on the ways in which this hotel is problematic for both its guests and importantly the delicate coastal marine ecosystem on which this hotel depends for its existence. I received over a dozen emails throughout the course of our stay asking us for detailed check-in information, the status of our stay, and ultimately a review. Not to mention the hotel requires its guests to undergo a very lengthy check-in process multiple days before arrival. My partner and I both had to submit identification documents days in advance, confirm our travel plans multiple times with the hotel through email and their "client portal", and were pestered relentlessly via email and text message during our stay asking how the stay was going. All of this to say there were no actual staff physically present at the hotel during check-in or check-out. The only staff we saw appeared for 5 minutes to drop off a bottle of chlorine for the pool and
