Guest Book Comments:: Hector,
Thanks so much for your kind words and quick send off of the security
 deposit! We loved the Villa. My oldest took over the family room upstairs
 and enjoyed having his own space. I liked the fact that the master bdrm
 was quiet with the fan overhead from the rest of the place. I like to
 sleep in a bit and it was perfect. My friend was impressed with the
 kitchen and the upscale provisions. I loved having the washer and dryer in
 the place as I think we managed to throw in a load each day and came
 home with clean clothes. (that is great for me being a working Mom). The
 grounds are gorgeous and your neighbors were all kind and helpful. We
 had fun sitting in the hot tubs with them as they shared their beer and
 talked of the many great things to see and do on the island. We also
 found it easy to find our way around the island. 
 
Thanks so much for all your help and all the suggestions you made prior  to our arrival. It was a nice touch to receive your call during our  stay to make sure everything was meeting our expectations. It was much more than we expected! 
I would love to come back and you will be the first person we contact!.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING
Sheila S.

Hector and the apartment were absolutely fantastic! He was amazingly nice, helpful, accommodating and very understanding. The apartment was fantastic and fit all 8 of us comfortably; it was everything we needed and wanted. The property itself is also fantastic, with it's pools, private beach access and wonderful security! We did not want to leave ! We hope to be back very soon!

Great condo, great owner!
Anna Z.

Our family of 2 adults and 4 kids stayed in the condo for 1 week. The apartment was clean and ready for us when we arrived, the gate guard was ready with our wrist bands and car sign. The vacation community is conveniently located and is easy to find. We felt very safe there. It is fully gated and fenced. There are many beautiful pools and a private beach. Grounds are very clean and well maintained. The condo has inflatable toys, pool noodles, balls, beach toys, beach coolers - literally anything one might need on vacation. The kitchen is fully equipped. The beds are very comfortable. The property is very convenient to may attractions - the rain forest, Luguillo, Fajardo, Old San Juan, La Marquesa forest. We went to so many places and didn't even use a whole tank of gas in our minivan. Hector is very responsive - I really appreciated that! Overall, if you are considering a vacation in Puerto Rico, do not hesitate to use this condo as your home base. You will have a great experience!

Beautiful condo!
Nicole

Our family of 6 (including parents, children, and grandparents) had a wonderful stay at this large, clean, and beautiful condo. The 2-story condo was as lovely as the pictures show it to be and we particularly enjoyed eating outside on the terrace. It also had all the amenities you could need - we especially appreciated having a washer/dryer in the condo, towels, coolers, a well-equipped kitchen, as well as pool noodles/sand toys/balls for the kids. Dealing with Hector was wonderful - he was polite, very informative and helpful, and he quickly responded to and fixed a small issue with an appliance. The Aquatika complex is a safe and great place to relax and swim in the various pools (we especially loved the lazy river) in between seeing all the sights. The location is central for excursions to Old San Juan as well as excursions to the El Yunque rainforest, Luquillo Beach, and Fajardo (bioluminescent bay, catamaran ride to Culebra island). I would highly recommend staying at this condo and renting anything from Hector!

Awesome condo! Clean, spacious, great location!
Claire D.

We spent a wonderful week in beautiful Puerto Rico with Hector's villa as our home base. The great location gave us easy driving access to Old San Juan, El Yunque rain forest, the caves of Cueva Ventana, many local towns, the Ruta Panoramica and so much more. The villa is lovely, spacious, clean, and located within a gated, quiet 'vacation' community with many amenities available for the visitors, and beautiful Loiza beach is steps from the front door. The villa itself offers lovely views of the surrounding mountains. It is clean, comfortable beds, three bathrooms AND laundry too. There is a large terrace for BBQ's and private sun bathing. Pack light and keep it simple because Hector has so much available for the visitor; soap, shampoo, sunscreen, bug repellent, laundry detergent, beach towels and beach toys. We had 5 people in our party and everyone was happy in their own space and using their own bathroom! Lots of room for more people too. We would love to repeat the trip in the future and Hector is the best host a traveler could ever hope for. Thanks Hector!

Excellent Stay at this Beautiful Villa
Anna C.

My boyfriend, kids (5 and 8 year old) and I stayed here for 6 days, 5 nights. Hector really keeps this place clean and beautiful. My kids loved sleeping in the bunk beds. Sheets and towels were abundant and still very new looking. The master bedroom was great when we wanted to relax as a couple...loved having a TV in there! The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you would need...from a coffee maker, toaster, waffle maker, all the plates and utensils you would need! I couldn't find scissors but there were plenty of knives so that was fine. I loved having the grill in the balcony! And the views of the rain forest was great. The property itself is awesome, pools were never crowded, and if the pool in front of our apt was full we would just move to another pool! The property was always clean! There would be leaves in the pool but that's expected and it would always be cleaned in the morning. The security guards were also very friendly. We loved having the little convenience store outside of the Resort, prices were very reasonable. The beach was excellent, not crowed at all, and not much waves. I felt safe letting my kids play in the surf by themselves. They probably should leave more beach chairs by the entrance to the beach but we were fine just using beach towels. There are locals using this beach too and we always felt safe leaving our belongings in the sand. I know this neighborhood gets a bad reputation but we never ventured out during the night and we felt perfectly safe walking to and from the convenience store. I loved how close it was to the rain forest really everything you would need. Walmart is less then 10 mins away. Hector as an owner was excellent. He always answered my e-mails right away. He even texted us during our stay. We never had to call him but I wouldn't doubt he would be responsive if we needed him. I would totally recommend this property and we can't wait to come visit again!!

PR Vacation
Gil F.

My wife and her twin brother wanted to do something special for their birthday, so Puerto Rico was the choice. His wife and their sister brought the total to five for a week-long trip. Three hotel rooms would have cost a fortune but I found Hector’s place online. I admit I was hesitant at first since I had never rented something like this before but it turned out to be the one of the best vacations of my life. The place was as great as advertised; located just off the ocean, the late night breeze was nice. Hector provided great info, directions and ideas on what to do and see. Everyone one enjoyed themselves and that is all I wanted. Thanks Hector.

From the first point of contact with Hector through the end of our trip, things were great. Upon arrival, we fell in love with the apartment. It is well kept, well prepared and beautiful!! It was better than we imagined. This was our first visit to Puerto Rico and definitely won't be our last and when we return, we will be staying here. A rental car is highly recommended. Thank you Hector for everything, we loved it!!

Our stay in Hector's Aquatika villa from 10-12-13 to 10-17-13
Andi

I have to say this was the most exciting and wonderful vacation I have ever had!! The description of the villa is right on, and the pictures are so good we knew exactly what we were getting. The kitchen was well stocked so we were able to get a few groceries and be set. The bedrooms were perfect for my and me, our sons, their wives and our 8 mo. old granddaughter. There was even a pack and play for her to sleep in. Everything was clean and kept up well. There was such a beautiful breeze through the villa from the kitchen window to the living room that we didn't even need ac. The pools are beautiful and warm. The beach is so close and very nice. The basket of information and GPS was a great touch....and used a lot! We went out to eat every night-Old San Juan, the beach in San Juan, all local bars/grills. Our safety was never in jeopardy and we just enjoyed everything we did. Because of the gov't shutdown at the time we were not able to see the old fort or the rainforest. We did take a sail boat trip out to an island and went snorkeling-which was absolutely wonderful! We toured the Bacardi Rum plant (yum!) and found a trail down into the rainforest (Anjelica trail), watched flamenco dancing at a grill one night, found a beach area that had neat shops and grills along the road. We were busy every minute we were there. I certainly would recommend this villa to anyone wanting to stay in a home like atmosphere. And we had such a wonderful time if we can repeat this next year......we'll be back Hector!! It was great having a laundry right there too. And there was tennis rackets/balls, noodles for the pool, a putter and golf balls, playing cards, TV, everything you might need...right there. I just can't say enough! The roof top patio is great to view sunrise/sunset-looking one way you see ocean, the other you see mountains. I am so glad we found Hector and his villa. He provided all the info we needed before we came there and was very responsive when we texted him with questions. If you're looking for a great place to get away-look no more. This is the place! Thank you Hector! Hope to meet you the next time we are there.

Beautiful spacious property!
Amy L.

After years of stuffy hotel stays, I took the advice from a co-worker to visit this site and look into renting from a private owner. I was nervous about renting from someone I did not know, but Hector provided a detailed list of information via e-mail and was very prompt with answering all of my questions. The payment process through PayPal was also a safe protected method of payment. The complex was safe and secure and the space inside the property was clean and spacious. My husband and I were traveling from Maine with two children as well as my parents. There was enough room for the children to be able to relax at the end of a long day in the upstairs living room, while adults spent time together in the main living room. There was a pool and a Jacuzzi below our rental as well as many larger pools and the beach just a few steps away. It was nice to stay in a place where we could brew coffee and cook breakfast in the morning before heading out for the day. Having a laundry room was also very convenient. I probably could have traveled a lot lighter if I had considered this! While there are plenty of things to do at the property, I would recommend a car if you plan to do some exploring no matter where you stay in Puerto Rico. There is so much to see on both sides of the island, which is about a 2+ hour drive from the east side to the west side. The complex is closest to the El Yunque rainforest and waterfall and the snorkeling catamaran trips out of Fajardo. We also traveled to the El Morro fort and the cobblestone streets of Old San Juan to shop. This is a great place to come home to while exploring all that Puerto Rico has to offer! We would definitely stay at this rental again! Thank you Hector for providing such a wonderful place for us to stay!

Wonderful Stay

Our family had an amazing stay. Owner made sure that everything was perfect even during a hurricane he made sure that we were informed of what news channels, radio stations we could listen to. Owner provided us with propane gas stove as well as water in the event that we were to lose power. Our family of 10 had more than enough room space. Property was clean and equipped with everything needed. I would recommend this property to any friend or relative visiting. Property was close to all attractions that were on our to-do list. Walmart and the Outlets were perfect to visit on a rainy day and very close to the property. I look forward to staying again sometime in the future.

great penthouse rental for family of eight
Bill T.

Rental had very strong security, great room layout, & beautiful landscaping/pools. The condo is well situated, (centered between Loquillo/El Yunque & Old San Juan), as a hub for day trips. Pinones beaches/food kioskos, Walmart/Grocery stores are all less than ten minutes away. Took less than 40 minutes to get to SJU Airport. Unit had very strong A/C units in every room and a nice private roof top terrace. Really appreciated the extra details, (like coolers & loaned GPS unit), which enabled our day trips to: Culebra/Vieques, Cayo Icacos, Guavate Lechoneras, Playa Colora/Balneario Seven Seas & La Cueva Ventana/La Cueva del Indio. It was a perfect place for a large family to stay. Thank you Hector and Aquatika for hosting our great vacation.

This was one our best vacation experience in a long time. Hector was able to pick us up at the airport, provided all the necessary information. In our situation we needed special accomodations and he was able to support them. The family couldn't get enough pool and beach time. The place is close to everything, we where able to visit the Yunque rain forest, old San Juan and El Morro (Castle). In addition there's several malls close by which the wife and her friends enjoyed. I will recommend this place to anyone, but Hector our property manager took it to a different level. Thank you Hector.

Great time in Loiza
Nelson H

Our family trip to Puerto Rico included 3 generations consisting of grandparents, married kids, single adults, and small children. Aquatica was a perfect place for all of us. The complex is beautiful and well maintained - busy on the weekends and deserted during the week so you have full access to pools and play ground. Short coming is that the restaurant/bar and water slide are only available on weekends. We read the location was bad but we never felt fearful - the town is small and seems poor but we went to local pharmacy and grocery store with no difficulty. Loiza as a location was great because it was outside of the large city of San Juan and close to beautiful beach at Luquillo and rain forest El Yunque. We were able to visit old San Juan and have nightlife of the city but have the peace of a quiet location without too much traffic. You must have a car if you stay here.

Puerto Rico 2009 - One for the Books
PackFan

9 of us traveled to Puerto Rico for my birthday during mid-march. We are all well traveled and tend to stay in high-end hotels. I work for a travel company and usually get great rates from work. This time, we decided to take a different route and rent an apartment. There was a lot of hesitation within our group as none of us had done this before. From the first e-mail I sent to Hector, until the last one I received today, EVERYTHING went smoothly. He is an unbelievably nice person and very understanding. His property is beautiful. It is fully furnished and he has invested heavily into the amenities. From the kitchenware, to the towels and bed sheets, even the grill and general decorations, it is clear that Hector takes pride in his apartment. I would recommend this property to anyone looking to have a worry-free vacation. Aquatica itself is wonderful and the grounds are well kept. Loiza is in the middle of everything it seems. I strongly recommend that you rent a car. If you get a chance, stop-in at the Water Front restaurant on 187 east of Aquatica and say hi to Sam! The food is great and he shares similar customer service values as Hector. You have to hike the El Yunque rainforest. The scenery is beautiful and the air is fresh. Make sure you take time to go to multiple beaches in Puerto Rico, there are several great ones. The best one was about 5 minutes from Hector’s property in 187. It is a local hang-out but extremely beautiful and untouched by commerece. This was hands-down the best vacation any of us have had and Hector was a big part of it.

My best friend and I planned a great vacation with 6 of our closest friends, we totally didn’t know what to expect when coming to Puerto Rico, and driving into Loiza was a bit overwhelming … However once we found the complex and spent a few days exploring, we realized that Loiza was a perfect place to stay… We got to enjoy all of the views of the beaches, country side, great food on the side of the road for miles ( it looks scary but you will find the NICEST people and AMAZING food).. all in all we had a great vacation … I would recommend this place to anyone that would ask… Thank you Hector for an amazingly clean house!!!

We arrived Feb 22 after departing a cruise ship and where met at Aquatika by Hector . He was very helpfull in getting us aqainted with his property and the surrounding complex. We found its location is perfect for doing some sightseeing , gambling (about 20 mins away ) and off course our little peace of America ( Walmart ) where we did our grocery shopping etc . The town of Loiza doesnt offer a lot for the tourist , it does have several gas stations a pharmacy , clinic and lots of small resturants . We felt very comfortable and safe at aquatika and enjoyed the peacefull surroundings , plenty of pools , and especially sitting out at night on Hector' s roof terrace .. Although our group was 6 adults ,this is a great place for familys as well ..Thanks Hector we had a great time ..

The Villa at Aquatika
Talking Bear

Our family, which inlcuded eight of us, were perfectly delighted with our stay at Aquatika. The Villa was clean, spacious and very will appointed. There is always a feeling of uncertainty traveling thousands of miles to spend your winter vacation in a place that you have never been before. When we arrived we were pleased to say the least. The Villa was immaculate and we felt at home. The beach adjoining the complex was beautiful and the pool and exercise room was similarly well attended. It is clear that the proprieter cares a great deal about providing for his guests and he was more than helpful in accomodating us right down to providing directions, recommendations for car rentals and sightseeing. I would recommend Aquatika to anyone. We are now talking about staying there again next year.

Excellant value
George B.

We stayed Dec 22 to 29 2008 and had a very good time. The property is unbelievablity clean and well kept. There are 5 super clean pools and our 3 sons swam in all of them, day and night. You must have a car to get around and a new SuperWalmart is only 6 miles+/- up the road. The beach is small at the complex but a huge beach with all the 'beach scene'[good and bad] is only a few mile east at Luquillo [but its $3.00 a day to park there]. An excellant centrally located condo from which to explore the rain forest[just south] and San Juan to the West. No restaurants or bars in the complex , but several within a short drive. A great value.

We had a very relaxing time
Happy Family

We stayed in Hector's place in December. It was a nice break from Chicago's winter. Our kids loved the pools, the ocean, the playgrounds and everything else the complex has to offer. Hector met us at the airport at the car rental and took us to the supermarket and then to Aquatica. Considering that we arrived very late in the evening and have never been to Puerto Rico before, it was very helpful. I am pretty sure we would have had difficult time navigating in the dark. Thank you, Hector! Hector's condo is very nice - it is spacious and is equipped with everything one may possibly need. 2 adults and 3 children have plenty of space and opportunity to relax. The grounds in the complex are very well mainained. The pools are safe for kids as they only are 3'6" deep, so parents do not need to worry. We really enjoyed our vacation and will definitely come back in the future.

Great place to stay!
Anna I

We recently came back from a wonderful vacation in Puerto Rico. We stayed in this condo and it was excellent. From the moment we made our reservations, the owner was friendly and helpful, providing excellent customer support - not just about lodging, but in helping us plan our vacation as well. The information given on the website is very accurate. We were a mixed group - adventurers and leisure travelers - and this property was perfect. It was reasonable distance to many of the attractions we were visiting, as well as having many amenities for those who wanted to stay behind and 'chill'. We definitely recommend this condo! It was simply perfect for us! We had 8 adults in our group and plenty of room and towels! :-) Our favorite desinations (keep in mind we are an adventure group!!) * El Yunque (eat at Don Pepe's - Rt 3 - on your way back down!) * Tropical Trail Rides in Isabela (WELL worth the 3hr drive) * Cueva Viento (Wind Cave) in Guajataca Forrest (not lake!) * Kayaking the biobay in Fajardo Old San Juan is also a must see. If you are wild enough to decide to climb El Toro, (and you gotta be real wild to do this) wear long pants (our legs were very much abused by saw grass!). Our only disappointment was that the cool part of the Camuy Caves was closed and that we didn't allocate enough time at the Guanica Dry Forest and our hike was cut short (park closes at 4) making it not worth the 3 hour drive. (If you go there, leave early and bring as much mosquito repellent as you can!!) All in all, we had a great time. I am a Puerto Rico native and I don't think in 18 years I lived there I ever had that much fun all in one week!! And like I said, our accommodations were excellent, affordable (everybody was shocked at how little we had to pay for a week after splitting it 8 ways!) and very fitting for us. Definitely recommend this apartment to adventurer's, families, groups... Hands down, a great choice for our vacation!!

Home Away From Home
Chicago 6

In late September/early October 2008 our group of 6 stayed at this apartment for 8 days. We couldn't have asked for better accommodations. It felt like a true home away from home. The apartment was fully stocked with everything we needed. I was particularly impressed with the kitchen. We cooked most of our own meals. The rooftop terrace with grill got plenty of use, too. We enjoyed the pools and lazy river at the Aquatika complex. We missed the short weekend hours for the water slide. The complex is in a good strategic location, close to the airport and San Juan, but also convenient for trips to El Yunque, Fajardo and other points east. Although there isn't much in the immediate vicinity of the complex, there is a Panaderia across the street that carries basic necessities like bread, milk and beer. An Econo supermarket can be found nearby in Rio Grande. There are lots of good seafood restaurants in Pinones, between the airport and the complex. Route 3 (west) has an outlet mall and many major chain stores and restaurants. Hector, the owner, provided great customer service. He kept in touch with us before the trip and was available when we needed to talk to him during our stay. He went out of his way to accommodate us when we had to extend our stay a couple of days. He returned our security deposit promptly. I highly recommend this property. It's much more comfortable and economical for groups than a hotel room.

The property is beautiful, the travel to the location was a little deceiving due to the nature and activities of the town, but once entering the location you are in paradise. You do need transportation, because local transportation is a little expensive due to the distance from the main attractions of the island. The property has everything you need for your daily comforts and more. We were able to connect to the internet by the main window looking down at the the pool, the signal was week, but if you did not move your computer it was a great location to drink a cup up coffee and catch up on you emails. There were 7 adults on this vacation and the place was definitely big enough to give each couple space and privacy. We would reccomend this location to future Puerto Rico travelers. The owner was available to answer any questions and he provided get information on island attractions. The tour that was most enjoyable to us was the Yunque/Bio Flourencent tour, this tour really made us feel like we were on an adventure, and getting some exercise too. We look forward to visiting Aquatica again.

The villa is amazing met our expectations for our vacation. We stayed seven nights total of 5 adults. The location is on the beach with a wonderful view, the pools and walkways are clean. The villa is fully equipped; the furniture is up to date, very cleaned and spacious with great air conditioning. Great restaurants and attractions nearby El Yunque National Forest. Luquillo Beach, Fajardo and San Juan. This was our first time in Puerto Rico and our experiences were phenomenal and plan to return next year. I would recommend the villa to my family and friends. Hector (owner) is very nice & provided useful information. Thank You On a small note the beach onsite was amusing, however must wear water shoes due to broken glass on the sand. Overall rating was Excellent!

Aquatica is a beautiful and relaxing resort

Our family rented hectors beautiful home at Aquaticas resort in Loisa. The resort is peaceful and is located centrally about 30 miles east of San Juan and there are lots of things to do snorkelingl the rain forest about 7 miles east on rt 3, casinos, many beautiful beaches. The penthouse was beautiful and the veiw was soothing to your spirit. The beach and water is gated and no waves pound the beach. A nice place to go to watch the sun set. It has play grounds for little ones so treat yourself to the penthouse and hector will makes sure your stay is pleasent.

Wonderful Experience

The property is amazing! Private beach, two pools overall a wonderful experience. I recommend this property to everyone, is great for friends and very family friendly. It gives you the opportunity not only to see a different province in Puerto Rico, but also to get away from the touristy areas. The best part about the villa is the view! You go out to the balcony and towards your right you see El Yunque and to the left you see the Atlantic Ocean. That was my highlight every morning, just taking it all in. Highly economical and just beautiful, my friends and I had a great time. Hector is extremely accommodating and supportive. Thank you Hector!

Great place to stay
a guest

Coming 'home' to the villa each night after a day of exploring Puerto Rico was very relaxing. The children loved the pools and water park. The private beach is a great place to sip a rum drink as the sun goes down on an exciting day. While in P.R. for a wedding, we spent six days touring Old San Juan, El Yunque, the bio-luminescent bay, the beaches, everywhere. Loiza was a good central location for us, with access to San Juan and all northeastern tourist attractions. The local food was excellent (especially at Soleil, overlooking the beach), too. The villa contained all the amenities: a well equipped kitchen, plenty of storage, satellite tv, etc. We could cook in if we wanted or eat out. It was impeccably clean, well furnished and well maintained. Hector was the perfect host, very informative and helpful - even before we arrived. I will absolutely recommend the villa (and Hector) to my friends. The neighbors were very friendly and it was not crowded or noisy, like a hotel can be. It was like being at home, but with great pools and a private beach.

I loved the condo!
bre

The condo was great! We had at least 8 people in our party for about 5 days and we all slept comfortably. The condo exceeded all of our expectations. I would definitely stay here again. It was stocked with everything you need. The location was not in walking distance from any restaurants, but as long as you have transportation you will be okay. Great, great, great. Highly receommended!

This property more than met our expectations. The villa was lovely with plenty of room for our large family. The grounds were beautiful with beach front and pools to keep us busy. Hector sent us all the useful information we needed before hand and met us on arrival. We really enjoyed our time and definitely plan to return.
