Humacau for old people
Review Submitted: January 29, 2009
Date of Stay: January 2009
The apartment was fine for the money - no complaints, except that the Pool Jacuzzi heater was broken the entire 10 days that we were there. We would have loved to sit in it every night - bummer!
The problem is more with Las Palmas - Our opnion of this area is that it is for old people who do not get up before 11:00AM and who go to bed at 8:00PM. There is no place to get breakfast, except on weekends, and everything closes down at 8:00PM. There is no nightlife whatsoever!
Also the food at most restaurants was sub-par and the prices were too high. My wife and I spent on the average $50 for lunch and $100 or more for dinner - we had only one really good meal (at Chez Daniel) the entire 10 days.
I think it is better to stay near San Juan or the west coast.
Owner's Response: I am sorry that this renter did not enjoy Palmas del Mar. It is a large resort complex which has some 2500 full time residents and hundreds of vacationers with a variety of things to do. While it doesn't have a flashy night life, it has more than its share of natural beauty, and tranquility, easily enjoyed from miles of walks and beaches. Honestly, most people find it a truly lovely spot. While there is only one restaurant within Palmas that one could call truly "gourmet" there are plenty of others both in Palmas and the surrounding area which visiters tell us they enjoy. Finally, regarding his complaint about not finding a place for breakfast, I can't imagine a nicer place to have breakfast than sitting on the terrace of our apartment looking out over the Caribbean Sea, watching the pelicans and listening to the waves curl on the beach.
