There are those, for whom the big names are a comfort on the road. With hotels like Ritz-Carlton, Marriott and Wyndham, you’re bound to have clean, comfortable rooms, and restaurants on property. San Juan has plenty of such hotels. But when you want something a little less predictable, less pricey and a lot more personal, you’ll want to stay at one of my properties in Ocean Park. A vacation in the Calle Elena #25 starts with a blast of salt-air and the lull of the ocean tide. And Ocean Park offers just that for less than half the price of the major hotels. Ocean Park is a beachfront residential controlled access neighborhood sandwiched between the high-rise hotels of Condado to the west and the hi-rise hotels of Isla Verde to the east. This means that the one-mile strand of golden beach you’re on is just as good as the ones that someone less clever is paying more than $300a night for. It also means that you are in the middle of the city. Don’t let the shady tree-lined streets and Mediterranean Revival Calle Elena #25 house fool you. This is a remodeled beautiful 2 bedrooms, one bathroom house with all the amenities and comforts you can expect from a much more expensive hotel room.
