Coqui del Mar Guesthouse

This place is amazing. Neal and Nyoda are very friendly and knowledgable about the area. The rooms are very clean and fresh sheets and towels everyday if needed. 2 blocks from the beach, which is not crowded at all. A quick cab ride to old San Juan. Thank you Rob, Neal, Nyoda, and Este!!! You guys are amazing and made our trip superb. I can’t wait to come back.

My boyfriend and I booked this gay friendly guest house for a week long vacation. I was a little nervous because I usually stay at hotels, but Coqui del Mar was the best choice we could have made! For a lot less than the hotels, we got a lot more!
The rooms are on the cozy side, but very homey, and the house itself is located in a quiet residential area. We loved having coffee on the outdoor patio in the mornings as well as the kitchenette for fixing our own meals a few times. The on-​site manager has excellent suggestions for restaurants and excursions, and we preferred Ocean Beach (1 block away) to the busier tourist areas by far.
The value here is great, and I highly recommend them!

Such a lovely place. Everyone there was so helpful. This was our second time in 10 months — we have traveled extensively to other tropical locations and this is definitely a sweet spot. Anything you need is available — beach towels, beach chairs, umbrellas, mosquito repellent. And being able to soak in the hot tub after long days of hiking and sightseeing. Such a relaxing place in a real neighborhood — we highly recommend!

Had a destination wedding nearby and stayed at the coqui del mar for 11 days. The location couldn’t be better it was near all amenities ie: supermarket, barber shop, restaurants, beach, and park where it was a packed house in the early evening. Very quiet community. Everything within walking distance and if you needed to get out further into town the cab drivers were 5 – 10 min out from picking you up. I stayed in the room el sol 3 BR 3 bathroom and couldn’t be happier with my choice. Kitchen was even better so making breakfast in the morning felt like I never left home then out for lunch and dinner at the local restaurants. The staff (Noyda & Este) were friendly and had much knowledge of where to go and what to see. Overall ¹⁰⁄₁₀ I would recommend anyone going to PR and looking for a place to check out coqui del mar and I definitely would go back and book woth them on a future trip.

I stayed here for 3 nights in June 2015.
Booked this place through Airbnb and right away they sent me a ton of information and helpful tips via email. I informed them that I was visiting Puerto Rico for my boyfriend’s birthday and when we got there, they had left us a few cans of their local beer plus a Tres Leches Cake! So very thoughtful.
I loved the room. We stayed in F (?) and had a double shower which they provide so that you could «shower with your favorite traveler» hahaha. They also have apple TV so you could enter your Netflix password and watch away! We also had a fully equipped kitchen, fast Wifi, great working air conditioner, free access to the washer & dryer (after 5pm), street parking, room service, and more. Coqui also provides free bike and body board rentals, but I didn’t get a chance to use those. Also walking distance to a few restaurants (try Inca Chicken!) and the beach, so you could take a romantic night walk by the ocean!
The manager and her husband were so friendly and caring; I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who plans to visit San Juan!

We stayed in the El Cangrejo room for four nights during our honeymoon in Puerto Rico. The room was clean, comfortable, and we will definitely be returning to this guesthouse in the future! The onsite staff are very helpful and friendly. The location is wonderful. The guesthouse is a block away from the beach, and located in a quiet residential neighborhood in Ocean Park. Guests are welcome to borrow beach chairs and other items to use. We felt so comfortable and welcome. It was such a great value. Thank you!

Excellent Guest House in Puerto Rico.
I would like to thank Rob (owner), Noyda (manager), and Estee (room service) for making our week-​long stay and vacation wonderful.
Rental Agreement:
–We went through everything with Rob (via Airbnb) and he answered all our questions. In total, we were a group of 10 checking in and out at different times but the process of booking and checking out was very easy and they all made it very accommodating to out needs.
Noyda greeted us and told us about all the amenities and things nearby.
Estee made sure that the guesthouse was clean and that we had sufficient towels/​bedding for our whole group.
Guesthouse:
–3bed/​3 bath was perfect for our group of 10. The price was excellent and we all enjoyed our stay very much. Everyone had a bed to sleep on and it was nice that there was a futon in the living room.
–The kitchen had all functioning appliances making it easy to store/​cook food. We had everything that we needed and more.
–It was also nice that they have coolers and beach chairs to borrow. We took a few trips to the beach which is 2 minutes away by foot!
–The guesthouse was near many local stores, restaurants and beaches. Also, very close to downtown (by car) and La Placita (nightlife).
–Street parking was also available for our 2 rental cars and we had no problems.
I recommend Coqui del Mar to anyone staying near the San Juan area. I’m planning to visit Puerto Rico in the future and I know where I’ll be staying. :)

Found this place last minute on airbnb. From making the reservation, checking in and checking out the entire experience was great. We stayed in the La Luna room. The room is represented well by the photos on the website. The entire facility was clean and cozy. The staff are super polite and helpful.
Some extras that we found awesome:
* Apple tv in the room.
* Bicycles available for check out
* Boogie boards

I stayed here in January with a large group. We rented El Sol and La Luna, and then when some of our group departed before the rest, we all spent the remaining time in El Sol only.
I slept in El Sol for the duration of the trip, and found the accommodations to be very nice. The shower in the shared bathroom did not turn off all the way, but that seemed to be the only thing wrong. The private rooms also seemed very nice, but the couples traveling with us quickly snatched those up. I stayed with the other single girls in the room with 4 bunk beds.
The porch of El Sol is perfect for hanging out and drinking morning coffee together. Walking distance to the beach is also a definite plus!

Just finish a 9 day stay at the Coqui and I have to say it was great! You are very close to the beach (one block). The managers, Noyda & Neil, are very friendly & very accommodating! Cleaning staff is great. This is not a 4 star hotel, but a fully equipped, clean & comfortable guesthouse. They have all you need for a comfortable stay & lots of extras to use; beach chairs, bikes, coolers, umbrellas, hot tub etc…

We found this place on airbnb when we were trying to find a place to stay for the Puerto Rico Tip Off tournament. This place was a gem.
5 of us stayed there comfortably but the apartment we stayed in could easily have eld 10 people.
Our place had 3 bedrooms (2 with full beds, 1 with 2 sets of bunk bets), a medium-​sized living room with a futon, 2 bathrooms, a large, stocked kitchens, and a large porch. There was also a shared back courtyard with a grill and a hot tub.
Our hostess was extremely accommodating and quick to respond to any question or request (via text). She always made sure we had plenty of fresh towels and sent us to some great places to eat. They also had a great book and map for finding things on our own.

This guesthouse has a great location in the Ocean Park neighborhood of San Juan. It’s about 12 dollar taxi from the airport. It has a good location if you’re looking to be close to the beach, relax, and strip of clubs in isla verde.
Was here for 10 days and it was a really long stay and enjoyed everynight. I stayed in the studio on the upper level which was just recently renovated with full private bath and full kitchen, fully stocked. Downstairs is a three bedroom apartment for rent as well that just completed its renovation that boasts flat screen tv, like in the studio, modern furniture and ihome for the ipod.
It offers a really good location (2 blocks from the beach), great hospitality from Noyda, the manager, and at an amazing price compared to any of the local hotels. Don’t forget to take out the bikes down the beach or even into old san juan. It is easy to get around in the city on taxi and cheap. However if you’re going to be here for 3+ days you could rent from Charlie’s Rental for cheap and nice cars as well.
