Bugs!
We get asked about Palmetto Bugs all the time. They have been in Puerto Rico for a LONG TIME! They can be pretty big, they fly and will scurry around the floor but they are largely harmless. They do occasionally come inside, especially at night and during or after any storms. We have a lot more sightings during our summer rainy season. We have regular pest control service at all of our properties to assist in managing them. However, they will get in thru open doors, garages, windows, etc.
Tree Frogs & Lizards are also indigenous to our tropical climate and will be around all of our properties. These are good for the environment and are not anything that we treat for! You may find the occasional one has gotten into the property and not made it out - or has gotten in and is hopping around. There is nothing wrong with this - it is part of our local environment.
This is really just informational. They are a part of our Tropical Climate. No refunds are given for these issues. Thank you!

Las Croabas and the surrounding area
Our villas are located in Las Croabas, which is a great little fishing village located on the northeast corner of Puerto Rico. There are a lot of activites in the area - driving or walking down the hill. The hill itself is a nice little work out too!
Seven Seas Beach is beautiful and is about a 4-5 block walk down the hill - but the drive is easier. The waters are calm in that area - which is great for a variety of water activities. There are also day-hikes to other secluded beaches that are only accessible on foot - such as Playa Colora & Playa Escondida.
There are plenty of trails in the area also, including around the PR Lighthouse and the beautiful bioluminescent lagoon!
There are water taxi options available to visit the smaller area islands for snorkeling.
Dining Options - there are numerous options in the neighborhood and even more to choose from in Luquillo and other surrounding towns.
We are just up the hill from the El Conquistador Resort and Golf Course. They have shops & dining that is available as well!
There are some marinas a few minutes drive away that offer a variety of boat charters too. There are Ferries that you can purchase a ticket for and take a day trip to Vieques or Culebra for some more beach relaxation.
A visit to the El Yunque Rainforest - about a 25 minute drive. The hiking and views are beautiful and this is a wonderful day trip! Pack a picnic and off you go!
No visit to Puerto Rico would be complete without a day trip to Old San Juan! Visit the Fort El Morro and Castillo de San Cristobal. It is a beautiful area to wander around with a variety of parks, historic architecture, authentic cuisine and shops to entice you! We've heard the best bar with a view is Cafe' Darsenas at Pier #1; and if you are into salsa dancing, check out the Nuyorican Cafe'! We enjoy a stop at Colmado Bar Moreno and Nono's too! How about a cup of amazing Puerto Rican Coffee from Finca Cialitos! There are a lot of fun places to see!
