Just returned home from our second stay here and it has solidified itself as the best and only place we'd ever stay in Rincon! It's actually really nice to be up off of the beach strip, the grounds are tranquil and beautiful plus you can see the ocean and sunset while perched peacefully above it all. The staff are all so sweet and caring, the bar/restaurant has the best vibes you could ask for. Plays the best music, serves up delicious drinks and very tasty food and coffee. Seriously can't say enough about how cool the bar and hotel staff is! The pool is gorgeous and great for everyone including kids (we have a 6 year old). The rooms are very cozy, comfy bed, great shower-I recommend a poolside terrace room if available. Car is a must for beach hopping, hotel has parking. We always arrive late night and they are very accommodating about key pick up. We miss it already and cant wait to go back.

I’ve been a guest at this hotel before on vacation. However, now I live right across the street. This hotel has been my go to place when we have power outages that last more than a day in Puntas, Rincon which are a way of life here. After Fiona and now after Ernesto. Needless to say the place is beautiful, quiet and the employees super nice. Very welcoming to locals as well as tourist. Complimentary breakfast is included ( Max 2 adults only per room) from their Nest Restaurant breakfast menu which includes Bagel with Lox, Veggie Omelette, Frittata and French Toast with fruit among other very nice choices. Mimosas are $4 dollars (can you believe it) They also have a Thai restaurant, Ode to the Elephant which I love and visit frequently. Thanks to Kevin, the manager, who step-in today when the cook didn’t show up and to Neyshla, for her great service.

So this is my third time at the Lazy Parrot. Each time I came here, the service has been amazing. It’s literally a small resort. Anyone who wrote a bad review about this place is probably click bait. We met Edgar who manages the bar restaurant downstairs. They are planning to expand upon the cuisine and overall restaurant experience since the ownership has changed. Edgar provided us with outstanding service. This is a definitely a must go place.

After reading other reviews where the hotel responAfter reading other reviews where the hotel responds to, I'll make sure that I stick to the facts. We recently stayed here and upon arrival we noticed that the place seemed empty. No big deal. We arrived right at 4pm and were greeted by the front desk rep who was leaving for the day. She handed us our keys and said that she upgraded us to a pool side room for our anniversary. Funny thing is, we paid for a poolside room when we made our reservation, so this was not what I would consider an upgrade. If you look at their website there is no information talking about an "Off Season". Before we arrived in September, I asked when I made my reservation in June for a menu from the restaurant to have an idea as to what to expect upon arrival. At that point the reservation rep should have told us that the restaurant and bar would be closed during our stay. Upon arrival is when we were told that it was the off season and everything was closed. It would have been nice to know this as there are several other hotels in the area that have full service dining. Lastly, we received a call from the hotel the night before we were to check out (the day before Hurricane Fiona made landfall) to make sure we were checking out on time. They didn't ask if we needed anything, just want to know if we were checking out. I get it, it’s a hurricane but hotels have a duty to take care of their guests. Be upfront with your guests.

We were very pleased with our stay at the Lazy Parrot. We hear they are under new ownership and are making some very nice improvements. The pool area is very nice the rooms with balconies have good views and a great place to relax. The food at the restaurant was good as well as the staff. The only negative is that it is located a bit out of town and away from the beach. Also, when checking in you are presented with a very long list of rules and fines if they are violated, not so relaxing.

This was my first time in Puerto Rico and our first stop on a multi-city trip. I wish I’d stayed longer! The hotel is beautiful, clean, and classy. We had a very comfortable night’s sleep. Definitely resort-like, with what looked like recent updates to the bathrooms and grounds. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Morning coffee was a nice treat. Our room had a gorgeous view! In our short stay, we also checked out the cafe next door and the restaurant a mile down the street. This turned out to be a great location!

I stayed at the Lazy Parrot with my wife, 3 kids ages 10 to 27 and my in laws. The hotel itself is very quiet and has 11 rooms. We had 3 rooms upstairs which, if you are going to stay there, you should be upstairs. The downstairs rooms are inside the inn and views are non existent. This is a good place to stay if you want a Quiet hotel. There is not much for young kids to do there at the hotel other than the pool which we found to be chilly, suprisingly enough. The pool side bar is OK but drink prices were high. The restaurants food was good but the menu is not nearly extensive enough and the fare is Pricey. I paid $27 for a steak that was OK but came with nothing but french fries. There is no kids menu to speak of so we ended up eating out most nights elsewhere which is hit or miss and certainly involves driving. In my opinion, if the menu was expanded and the value increased, the restaurant would do a bigger business, but then, maybe they dont want to? Seemed strange to me because we left the hotel 6 out of 7 nights for dinner elsewhere incurring lost time and of course, fuel expenses. Eating out is hit or miss as well. All in all, not real satisfied with the dining opportunities in the area.
The rooms themselves were clean and sufficient though we had issues with tiny red ants biting us and leaving welts. I sprayed several times but still got bit and by the time we left for home we were gratefulto leave those buggers behind!
The firt few days we had an ocean swell and rough seas due to tropical storm Gamma off the south coast. We spent the first few days searching the coast for calm waters and a decent beach to swim on. Cabo Rojo has decent beaches but is a 40 minute drive. Steps beach which is near the hotel is a great beach for snorkeling, once the waters calmed we did snorkel there and saw lots of fish and some coral. We did invest in a snorkel trip out of Paguerra ( 1.25 hour drive )with Paradise Scuba and was extremely happy that we did. They run a class act there, 3 stops, one mangrove and two coral reefs. Was awesome. My kids got to hold an octopus that our guide caught near the mangoves island! Highly recommend that trip if snorkeling is your bag.
Rincon is a place for surfers, if big white sand beaches and kid activities are your thing, look elswhere!
Bottom line, would we go back again? Definitely not with the kids and not so sure we would by ourselves either, there has to be better places that dont cause you to leave in search of better during your stay. If you do go, look for flights into Aguidilla airport, its MUCH closer than San Juan. And by all means,get a rental car and the GPS system is a MUST! Most everything is a drive. Forget about El yunque for a day trip.Too far.

Just got back from a few days in Rincon and stayed at The Lazy Parrot. We drove from San Juan and didn't take along the directions on their website - but make sure you print them out and take them... there is some road work in Aguada (just before Rincon) so we had to ask a few times, but we got to the hotel with no problem as soon as we found the famous route 413 - 'The road to happiness'. Lazy Parrot is right on route 413 which is the main road that runs 'above the beach' all along the 'Puntas' area beaches and then above the surfing coast, past the marina and into the small town. Rincon is a little different from your usual beach resort - since there are lots of different beaches to explore, rather than one long beach 'strip' like we found in San Juan. Since everyone has to have a car to explore the different beaches - The Lazy Parrot is a great place to base yourself. Easy access to virtually everything in Rincon... and plenty of parking just across the street. Best part of The Lazy Parrot is that after a day of hanging out at the beach, diving or horseback riding... you can just 'escape from everything' and relax in their 'country resort' type athmosphere... The front of the inn is on 413 which can be busy at times - but the back of the inn is what sets this hotel apart from all the beach resorts.... Built into the side of the hills that circle the 'Puntas' beaches - The Lazy Parrot has a restaurant that gives a view of the ocean in the distance (over the hills). Going down one level, there is a great bar that overlooks the pool/jacuzzi/lunch snack bar below... The pool is surrounded by lots of flowers/palm trees so you really forget all the hustle/bustle of the beaches and just RELAX.... We had considered staying right on the beach - but we're glad that we chose the Parrot - since the beach areas tend to be busy with more people and activity... and at the Parrot we were only 3 minutes from the activity of the beach if we wanted it... but has the peace, quiet and nature back at the hotel to relax and get away from the world... The staff was great, the included continental breakfast buffet had good strong Puerto Rican coffee, pastries, cereals, bagels, juice, etc... If you need more, there is a good bakery just next door for sandwiches or to stock your minifridge with sodas, etc. Rooms were comfortable and had everything you need - cable TV, airco, ceiling fans, minifridge, telepnone, desk area and my cellphone even worked fine. Some rooms have a small deck area - and the upstairs rooms have a great view of the ocean in the distance.... Before I got to the hotel - I had fantasies of taking a morning walk down to the beach... but the beach in Puntas (Pools Beach and Sandy Beach) are down a steep hill... so even though The Lazy Parrot is only about 3 minutes from the beach by car - you wouldn't want to walk... We were there mid-week - and the restaurant at Lazy Parrot was open every night - so we ate there most of the time.... restaurants at most of the beach hotels were only open on the weekend in summer. We did go to the Mexican restaurant on the main town plaza which was nice and very reasonable. The town plaza has just been renovated and you have to check it out... its really nice at night and worth a visit.... Since The Lazy Parrot is in such a convenient location to explore the area - I think that we visited every beach in Rincon... at least to take a look.... The Puntas beaches right by the hotel are great for beach bars/volleyball/activity - but still lots of space for walking the sand... The surfing beaches that border the lighthouse were pretty empty, since surfing season is during the winter - but were great when we wanted a 'private beach'... The beaches in the Corsega section were best for swimming... but also had more people (but still no where near crowded) and not so many beach bar type places to grab a drink... Many times I'm reluctant to rent a car in new places - but driving in Rincon is easy - almost impossible to get lost and lots of fun to just take a side street and explore a new beach at the end of the block (all beaches are public so even at the big resorts - you can enjoy their beach) We should have planned to stay more time - since we didn't get to go out to Dechescho (sp?) island which looms in the distance and would have been great for snorkeling. We also would have liked to take the sunset cruise or try the SNUBA. With so much to explore - we'll have to go back soon... and for sure we'll stay at Lazy Parrot... I definately have to come back to watch the surfing this winter!

My wife and I stayed at the parrot April 21-27th, spent our first night in Old San Juan (Hotel Milano, great location and cheap) checked out OSJ and the El Morro Fort (excellent), then hopped a flight on Cape Air to Mayaguez ($300 RT for 2), rented a Jeep Wrangler from Budget at the Mayaguez Airport ($500 for a week) and drove 20 minutes to Rincon.
Rincon is basically what I describe as "3" distinct areas; you have the beach coast (from Tres Sirenas down the Rincon Beach Hotel), the surfing coast (from Tres Palmas up to Sandy Beach), and the highlands (Route 413 and most of the roads away from the beaches). If you have a map of Rincon, wrap it around a basketball and that's pretty much the terrain, unless you are down right in town or on the beaches the roads are up and down and very tight (which is fun to drive!).
On to the Parrot....
We stayed in Room 11, which is secluded on the top level in the back (facing away from the road in front). This room has the most private patio in the whole place, as nobody will be walking past your room (see pictures). Great accomodations, comfortable and clean. The walls are paper thin, so noisy guests can ruin your stay (this happened to us night one, some kids were partying at 3am, felt like a rave was going on in my room. Called the manager, she came withing 20 minutes and put an end to it. We were good from there on).
The resort is beautiful, set up in a multi-tiered layout that exudes privacy and charm. During the day the pool bar is open (2 for 1 happy hour 3-5pm), then the Sea Glass Bar opens with the restaurant (Smilin Joes - the best in Rincon). The hotel gets a little busy at night at people come from other hotels and accommodations to eat dinner at Smilin Joes. Loved the quiet mornings, adequate continental breakfast available, and staff and service were great.
The area around the parrot is quiet, decent ocean views are abound, and waking to the sounds of many birds and coqui (local frogs) was fantastic. We really enjoyed taking our continental breakfast back up to our private patio and relaxing in the am. The bakery next door (Punta Mar) has great pastries and most items you would find at a 7-11.
The Lazy Parrot is a great overall stay, good service and friendly staff. If your looking for a quiet retreat to return to after a day down on the beaches, this is the place. But beware, the small size of the Parrot (which is it's charm) means that if the other guests are not in the same mindset as you (quiet, relax, chill) then you are out of luck. If the Parrot would not allow kids under 18, I would come back repeatedly. We had an obnoxious family from New Jersey (by the way, is being loud, rude and obnoxious a requirement for living in New Jersey?? No wonder you have stereotypes) whose kids were throwing rocks in the pool, diving in the pool (right over the no diving sign), and basically tearing up the place. My only complaint of the Parrot is that the staff was slow to respond and enforce their very own rules that they so proudly advertise. BE ADVISED, THE OTHER GUESTS WILL MAKE OR BREAK YOUR STAY, THERE IS NOWHERE TO GO TO AVOID THIS. That aside, I still recommend the Lazy Parrot to everyone heading to Rincon.
"Best of" in Ricon (IMO):
Pina Coloda - Villa Confresi beach bar Breakfast and coffee - Taino International Cafe Lunch - Shipwreck at Taino Divers Happy Hour/Sunset - Calypso at Maria's, live music on weekends Dinner - Smilin Joes at the Lazy Parrot Beach Bar - Villa Confresi (the Spot was closed when we were there) 2nd Best Beach Bar - Tamboo (excellent wave watching, sitting at tables not a bar) Swimming Beach (calm) - anywhere in front of Tres Sirenas down to the Coconut Palms (water was clearer in front of Cocount Palms) Swimming/Surfing Beach - Sandy beach, in front of Tamboo. Fun but challenging swimming. Good beginner surfing, no reef all sand. Secluded Beach - Pools beach White Knuckle Drive - head up to Las Cima for the sunset Surf/Dive Shop - Desecheo Surf Beach B&B - Tres Sirenas (didn't stay here but checked it out, it's perfect!) Beach Resort - Villa Confresi, cheaper than RIncon of the Seas but worthy
"Worst of" Ricon:
Rincon Beach Resort - can you say overrated and overpriced? Yawn Horned Dorset - same as above, for that money go to a pricey resort in a more tropical and exclusive destination in the carribean, say St. Lucia or St. Barts.

My Wife and I have visited Puerto Rico on many occasions during the last 10 years, settling on Rincon as our favorite spot. We had dined at the "Parrot" on several occasions before this trip, but this was our first stay. After reading the earlier reviews, we opted for a top floor room which also included a rather large terrace with umbrella, table and chairs. Our stay was just what we sought. Quiet nights, relaxing days and outstanding food, now under the capable hands of "Smilin' Joe". Joe was our bartender on our first visit and now has graduated to owning the concession for the restaurants and bars. We appoint the Lazy Parrot as our home away from home, in Rincon.

Hi Vicki! As long as you are an experienced surfer, Domes Beach is extremely popular and is less than a 10 min drive from the Lazy Parrot Inn. We saw dozens of surfers there having lots of fun. On your way to Domes Beach, there is a small bar/grill called The Beach House where you can rent surfboards and other equipment. Sandy Beach is very close to the Inn but when we were there in early Feb, there weren't any surfers. Don't know why though because there were a lot of large waves far enough away from the beach.
GPS should work fine although it is on a road that can be easy to miss which is 413 (the road to happiness). You will be on 115 coming into Rincón, when you go under the huge welcome arch on 115 you will be almost there. You will go thru a big curve to the right and then 413 will be on the next big curve on the right and it shoots right up a hill. Try checking out Google maps of the area. Once you get on 413 you will not have a problem. Lazy Parrot will be on the left sitting between a surf shop and a bakery. Just drive slow after the welcome to Rincón sign and watch for the first road on the right that goes straight up a hill.
They don't really have anything on site because it is more like a bed and breakfast. My husband is a surfer, so we always took off early in the morning and came back mid day to relax. Snorkeling (bring your own gear) is not far either. The Lazy Parrot does have putt-putt, but it's kind of a crazy course and a crazy location.
There are more places to choose from in the Rincon area.
