Yukayeke Playa Resort

The property was great, the pool exceptional. A few more lounge chairs would be better as there were only two. The ocean and beach are nice and clam and very walkable. The hotel itself is a little old but still the amenities are good however we did get an electric shock every time we turned on the bathroom light and the fan did not work in our room. We never saw any staff there during our 4 day stay so there was no one there ever to ask for help as the office was always closed and locked, maybe on our 4th day but by then we were leaving. We could of used more than only two towels for a family of four. Could have been because of the holidays but still would have been nice to exchange dirty towels after a few days. Although we had a full size kitchen, a dish towel and some dish soap would have helped as we cooked most days. The area/town doesn't really have anything and you have to drive to Rincon for anything. You will need a car in this area. It is a better area to stay than Rincon but it's isolated in term of action. The Wifi only worked intermittently by the pool, so if you need strong wifi or it in your rooms you won't have it.

This place was perfect for us, a family of 4. We stayed for about three weeks while my husband worked in Añasco. It is not a luxury resort, but a building with approximately 10 appartments. It does not have a reception, but the owner lives across the street and a caretaker is around every day. The appartment is not very big, but big enough for us. The kitchen is basic, but it functions and the fridge is huge (for Dutch standards :-). In the weekends there were some more people, but it was quiet during the week, we often had the big and beautiful swimmingpool to ourselves. The beach is in the backyard; as the resort is nearly at the end of a dead-end street, the area and beach are very quiet, we often had the beach to ourselves too. Added bonus for us are the friendly cats that live around the place. And for me personally it was a very good bonus that the area is rich in birds. I have spotted several of the endemic Puerto Rican birdspecies during short walks from Yukayeke. Last but not least: we went swimming in the sea after dark and there was amazing bioluminescence. You don't have to go to La Parguera to see it, the effect here was even better! There are three restaurants in walking distance that are open in weekends. A bit further away, but still close, are twoo shops in the village La Playa. A 15 minute drive brings you to a shopping centre with supermarket etc.

Traveling with a friend and visiting family, we did not want to break the budget on accommodations, or restaurants. We found the perfect price vs amenities choice. Yukayeke Playa Resort was at one time more luxurious, true. What it is now, is comfortable, with a magnificent pool, a friendly atmosphere, adjacent beach and gorgeous gardens. Manager was supportive and helpful. Apparently the resort is for sale, which will mean the price will increase and the rooms will become bland and luxurious in that uniform, boring, no surprises way. Right now it is quirky, and unique. A great place to bring the family, the family pet, friends or anyone who will not complain if everything is not picture perfect. The complete kitchens allow flexibility.

Went there for our honeymoon. We wanted to stay in an off the beaten path place and we found it. Only 15 rooms at this resort. Do not be put off by the drive it appears you are going to the middle of nowhere. The resort is gated. Our room had an outside patio, kitchen, setting area and bedroom. Get air conditioner.. beautiful large pool, beautiful native plants and flowers around the grounds. Great host that kept on text contact. Private beach that we had to ourselves.central locations to many beaches and towns on the west coast. Lots of local food. Get out of San Juan and go here
