The best find was Acacia’s recommended massage therapist, Miguel H. just a very short walk up calle Taft. Overall I like the concept of a small hotel and Acacia could be great with the right attention to details. I reserved and paid for a queen balcony with partial ocean view. the bed was small, about 50”by 70”; the view was left and right of the apartment building across the parking lot; the balcony was generous, with 2 plastic chairs and a view of the hot tub/spa; the tiny bathroom had clean towels every day.
I wonder why a HDTV was included, but not microwave or hotpot in the room or lobby, or the ability to rent one as they do if you need a beach chair. If you want your morning cup get dressed and walk for it.
The proximity to beach is great, bring your own towel; and Viejo San Juan is an easy 75cent ride on the B21. Beware loud “hot tubees” at 10:30pm(Sun) and 2:30am(Thurs), yes a.m., luckily Wind Chimes has all night desk staff and was able to deal with it. There is a definite need for a sign about loud echoing voices and party hours; a simple lock on the inside of your room door (mine was opened without knocking to set up for the honeymooners checking in…oops maybe I was assigned the wrong room).
it would be helpful to have a phone book in the room and menus for local restaurants. For snacks, drinks, etc. there is a supermarket a few blocks away at the intersection of Loiza and Diego. The Acacia staff were all very cordial and helpful, the walk from calle Taft down McLeary to Ashford Avenue for restuarants and shopping was easy and safe, day and night.

The location is perfect/ right by the beach near shops and bars. In a non-commerical but safe area. The staff was extremely helpful will plan your whole trip for you if you need them to. The restuarant in the hotel was simply outstanding. Great presentation, service was great and the staff was very helpful with the menu. The bar and barfood at Windchimes was good as well. The rooms are small but suitable for two people and they were always clean and ready for use. The views from the balconys were very nice. The rooftop deck was secluded and relaxing. The hottub was beautiful. I would recommend anyone who is making their first trip to San Juan to stay at the Acacia Seaside Inn

Overall I would say that this place has charm. I felt safe here, very very close to the beach, the staff was very nice and the place had a certain charm that you won't get from your chain hotel. Make plans that there are few amenities. We almost went to WalMart and bought a coffee maker, but the Puerto Rican coffee is worth walking a couple blocks for. When my husband and I got home we brought lots of coffee with and bought an espresso maker and we still can't get it right, thats how good it was. Walk the three blocks to el pueblo ( the market) and stock up on breakfast goods, you will save a fortune. The hot tub is amazing and we did spend every night in it, of course our room was the closest to the hot tub so we kind of felt like it was ours. Be prepared to spend A LOT of money on food in Puerto Rico. You can't buy a cheap meal except for Subway and who wants to go there. It was an amazing vacation, with beautiful beaches, LOTS to see (you have to rent a car and tour the island) and a lot of romance!!!!!
Via Con Dios y buena suerte!

You will have a great time and travel from the states is easier than going to California!

We originally booked for the At Wind Chimes Inn, Acacia's sister hotel, however, they overbooked and immediately apologized and upgraded is in the Acacia Inn. The decor in the room was beautiful, the jacuzzi was great, and the hotel was very clean.

The staff was knowledgeable and friendly and went out of their way to help us find where we wanted to go. They made great recommendations for sights as well as restaurants. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. I have never met a better hotel staff.

It is not far from San Juan and there are a lot of great restaurants and shops within walking distance. The beach is literally steps outside of the hotel and is clean, beautiful, and quiet.

There are only 3 floors, so there are no elevators, so it may not be perfect for older people or anyone that cannot climb stairs, however, the staff will help carry bags up and down if you have a lot of luggage or simply do not want to carry it.

The Acacia Inn is one of the best hotels I've stayed at, and you can't beat the price!
