This is a great spot to stay if you’re interested in surfing, relaxing, centrally located but still far enough from town to feel like you're on vacation. The hotel is nice, not many rooms, get the room on the pool level right in front of the hotel – there are only 2 on the pool level – or theres one... More

Casa Islena has it all -- neat and tasteful rooms, a small pool overlooking the beach, surfing steps away from your room, outdoor yoga studio next door and a cafe/bar that is inviting and delicious. The people working there are helpful, friendly and make the stay comfortable and welcoming.

This was our second trip to Rincon, Puerto Rico and our second stay at Casa Islena Inn. It’s roughly a 2-hour drive from San Juan on the main thoroughfares. The Inn is on the beach, offers a swimming pool, and a restaurant. Casa Islena has been family-owned since its inception. The owners and staff take care in ensuring their guests... More

We were in Rincon for a wedding and loved staying at Casa Islena. Right on the beach with a fantastic tapas restaurant and in walking distance of a couple nice bar/restaurants. The staff was friendly, the rooms clean and spacious. If you are looking for a full service hotel or an upscale beach town with tons to do, Casa Islean... More

Casa Islena is a gem of a hotel/ inn on a beautiful surf break. I loved my stay so much I am returning next month. The owner, Dario, is a kind, gentle person and very attentive to your needs. The hotel/ inn has just 9 rooms so you never feel crowded. The smell and sounds of the beautiful, close ocean... More

If you're in the island to get the best of it, stay at the Casa Islena! First, the location is perfect. It had the privacy we were looking for and it was also near to great restaurants and the local night life. It is a small town, but you can always count on great people. Second, the service was great... More

I came here for a nice beach getaway with my husband. We are from Louisiana so we don't get out very often. The room was absolutely gorgeous with a beautiful view of the beach. The staff was very friendly, and the owner was very nice and approachable. The breakfast was worth the money. It was an overall great experience and... More

I was a little concerned about my decision to stop here with the recent reviews. But after staying here at Casa Islena I don't how someone could possibly write a poor review of this place.

We chose Casa Islena for a 1-night stay in Rincon because it was "top pick" in our Lonely Planet guide. What a disappointment. The front desk clerk first tried to sell us on an expensive ocean-front room and when we insisted on a cheaper option, gave us a room on the side (#202) for $135/night w/ continental breakfast. The room... More
