Overall Ratings & Reviews Ventana al Atlantico at Arecibo 681 Ocean Drive

I’ve stayed at Ventana al Atlántico several times, and every single visit has been a great experience. The customer service is always excellent—friendly, responsive, and attentive. The place is consistently clean and peaceful, which makes it easy to relax and enjoy. The owner is very courteous and welcoming, which adds a personal touch that keeps me coming back. The location is also perfect—close to beautiful beaches, restaurants, and local attractions, yet still feels private and calm. For everything it offers, the price is very reasonable. I highly recommend Ventana al Atlántico to anyone looking for a comfortable and reliable place to stay in the area!

NOTHING like the pictute on Expedia

Even though kitchen had a burner and air fryer, no outlets to plug into. Wall next to the window had three outlets, none worked. Had to charge my phone in the bathroom. Also, front door had a gap at the bottom, any animal could crawl into the room. Bathroom window had no curtains, made my own out of sheets. Outside the bathroom window there was a tank, anyone could lift themselves up to watch someone take a shower… pictures on Orbitz look nothing what I experienced.

I had an amazing time at this hotel. Great views in the center of town near all restaurants and things to do it was very peaceful. The pool was maintained everyday. It was clean The owner checked on us a couple of times doing all stay to make sure everything was working and everything was all good. I love the communication

Terrible experience. Rude not well mannered people running the place. Booking was ocean view room and I was given a room with no view at all. The room was dirty, the main door had a big space open in the bottom of the door so dozens of mosquitos will enter the room. the faucet broken, the tv didnt work and on top they locked us out the room and it took the police to intervene so they could answer the several calls and messages we sent them. Mean bad people period. When I told the man about the room not having ocean view he said this is Puerto Rico. He insulted his own place. so disturbing

Honestly, I did not feel safe here. I arrived at night, no verification needed. Room was scary, clean tho. But the door was made of wood and you can see thru the cracks. Anyone could peak thru it. I was very scare didn’t sleep much. I would not recommend if your staying alone and don’t know the area.

love that it was right on the water, the pool temp was perfect, not cold but not warm. nice bar up the road, not a swimmable beach but beautiful scenery. very helpful host, not that many amenities though..

The views and location are absolutely beautiful, and the place has a lot of potential. However, the hotel rooms need serious work. There was no door on the bathroom, the sheets and mattress were very worn, and the towels were old. I stayed for 7 days and no one came to clean the room or bring fresh towels. We even had to buy our own toilet paper. For the price they’re charging, I expected much better service and upkeep. If they invest in some much-needed updates and improve their hospitality, it could be a great spot. Until then, it feels overpriced for what you get.

BEWARE. The ocean front is beautiful but this place is a dump. I never actual met the owner of the place and had to call multiple times to be let in. He called the day before to switch our room (not sure why) and the room we got was absolutely disgusting, looked like it had never been wiped down. Years of flies and mold in the windows , bathroom cabinet and toilet cover broke when used once. Bed frame was falling apart (couldn’t lean on it). No blankets and only a few towels that were dirty. Pillows were yellow and stained, bed was hard. And there were bugs EVERYWHERE. Didn’t even attempt the pool as there was no filter. We were supposed to stay for 6 days and we left the next morning. Told the owner we left and never got a reply expect for the cleaning people (?) a few days later asking us about our experience so far. Really disappointing and a waste of our money, don’t stay here.

It is super small room and old furnishing. It’s good for just a night and move on to your next destination.

Great stay.

Beautiful, romantic and spacious. The ocean view is breathtaking. You hear the waves crash in such a soothing way, all day and all night. You can use the pool anytime of day, and it over looks the beautiful Ocean. Definitely will go back, this time with my kids as well. We loved it

I loved that the beach was out back the pool was ok too conveniently close to my home town but there was not enough lighting on the exterior of the building

We needed a place for one night on the spur of the moment and discover a very affordable hidden gem. Very quite with a beautiful and private beach with several places to eat within just a few kilometers

Loved it the view and easy access to the beach. Pool. Owner is great. Ppl are so nice & helpful

Very easy check in with the lockbox. Our oven didn’t work, but it’s OK because we didn’t need it. It would have been nice to have more than one actual blanket instead of just sheets. The hot tub is the same temperature as the pool.Everyone including some locals that stayed there were extremely friendly and we had a blast with them! The view is amazing and we even saw some whales from the property. It’s nothing fancy, but we would definitely stay here again!

Great experience!! The staff was incredibly hospitable and accommodating to my family needs

Place was dirty, the floor and bathroom and windows. the sheets and pillows were dirty. The pillows smelled like armpits and were dirty. I had to go buy new sheets and pillow cases. The first time I let the host know someone came and took two pillow cases and left another dirty one with the dirty sheets. After that I took off the sheets and changed them. The were no coffee maker nor iron I had to ask for the coffee maker which the lady that oversees the cleaning brought one to me but it was dirty. No hangers for the clothes which I bought and left it for the next. On our second day in the property there was no water and it came back later, supposedly it happened in the whole town. On Saturday night we left a shirt from my husband hanging out on the chair and when we came back it wasn’t there. Disappeared. That same Saturday as we’re coming in the place a big amount of cars were parked on the parking lot barely space for our car. There were multiple people partying in the place. When me and my husband get of a guy approached me and asked me what was I doing there if I needed anything. Which I immediately told him to call Angel the property manager. That was a scary and uncomfortable experience that I had while I stayed there. The view is beautiful from certain areas and the communication was good but the deliverance of the services we paid for was not pleasant at all.

The property has stunning views. There were small hiccups like plug points not working and some water leakage issues, we could overlook these issues because the location is right on the water. You get stunning views of the ocean and the beach is pristine behind the property. Angel is a helpful man.

Air conditioning was filthy, no control available for the TV, poperty was way off as seen in website.
