Just stayed on April 14-15th. The manager still claimed to be having water problems with the city -- we had no hot water pressure. But, now we see the property was sold or closed and trying to blaim the City of San Juan for two months of water problems is a lie, as they obviously didn't want to fix the... more

My partner (a travel agent) and I stayed at L'Habitation when Marie first started running it. They opened in Jan 2000 and we stayed there the first time in March 2000. We have spent every year but one there (that yr we went to Grand Bahama-YUCK). The place is comfortable with the basics that any traveler would need-a place to... more

While vacationing, my husband & I prefer guesthouses over resorts, and that is why we selected L'Habitation. We went on a 3 day cruise out of Puerto Rico and then stayed an additional 3 days here. Our room was neat and clean. However, we had no hot water for our entire stay, and there was very low water pressure. The... more

I found this place to be quite unique. Maria was a very helpful hostess and always ready to help. The place was clean, right on the beach, and offered a nice little breakfast. I found it wierd that there wasn't windows, just metal shudders. Also there we got five keys included with our room. Lastly just be sure to print... more

Having stayed in Puerto Rico numerous times and all over the island, I think we have finally found a place to call our 'home'. Small, quaint, and very friendly this is NOT your large chain hotel. But if you are liberal (this guest house is very gay friendly) and not afraid to talk to people, this may be the place... more

I can't say enough about L'Habitation Guest House. The rooms are clean, spacious, and affordable, the staff is extremely nice and accomodating, and the location is perfect. It's located in Ocean Park, in a quiet more residential area of San Juan, directly on the beach. Old San Juan and the Nat'l airport are both about a 10 minute cab ride... more

This is not a 'plastic cookie-cutter' hotel. It is a place with an ambiance of its' own. The ceilings are high, the colours are bright, and best of all the guests and staff are genuinely FRIENDLY! The building and grounds are impeccably clean and tidy. The location on the beach could not be nicer: there is shade from the sun,... more

This inn is a bit old in the teeth. The furniture, flooring, lighting, plumbing, wiring, beach furniture should have been retired years ago. The general style is tropical shabby. A very large cockroach scurried across the floor in our room when we first arrived. The next morning, a large rat was chased by the house cat in the bar/patio area... more

I recently returned from a vacation in Puerto Rico and I stayed at the L'Habitation Beach Guest House. If you're looking for a laid-back place to stay, this is it! Very relaxed atmosphere at a great value. It's located right on the Ocean Park beach, which is frequented by vacationers and near-by residents alike. Ocean Park itself gets lively during... more
