Don Julio

Good location for everything! , nice and clean , unclear instruction to locate as street labeling and building numbers do not exist as we found throughout the island. A Really good picture could help, gps only gets you so close , which may be street or 2 away . Had to get instructions by phone after wandering and looking , night time is impossible to find. Local people could not ID either. Room was fine , we found it hard to use balcony with neighbors smoking cigars outside regularly. We are not used to tobacco smell that close. Don Julio responded fast when we called, thank you!

I second some of the other things people said. It's a modest place (like staying at a relative's place) at a great location to enjoy surrounding beaches and El Yunque. It is a studio, so it was great for just two of us.

The location and neighborhood were great. The place didnt seem match the listing. The gate to enter and exit was tricky. We called the owner and he walked us through the process and then it was fine. It would be nice if the balcony was covered.

Perfect quiet spot

Location is absolutely amazing - a grocery store, a bakery, restaurant and the beach are all within 1/2 a block. Plenty of street parking if you don't want to use the designated spot.The studio is very spacious, clean and has literally everything you may need. Don't miss out on this spot!

Simple, safe and just what we needed

My husband and I stayed at Don Julio’s for 7 days to celebrate our weeding anniversary on Valentines. The morning of check in we’re able to check in super early and had a beautiful bouquet of flowers that greeted us. Such a lovely surprise! My honest feedback is this was a great place for me and my husband. The price was so cheap and the location was perfect proximity to all the fun stuff in Luqillo and El Yunque. If your boujie and want to stay in a fancy place then this isn’t for you. For the vibe of the apartment this is more simple & like a traditional Puerto Rico home your elderly grandma might live in. The furniture doesn’t really match and the walls do need a fresh coat of paint but the bed was super comfortable. The place was clean. The shower was nice and hot and had great pressure. You’re on an island so you will see a bug here and there and the lights will flicker but that is to be expected on an island! We got to hear the beautiful sounds of the coqui every night and the roasters in the morning. We love it and it’s the true Puerto Rico experience. We never lost power and had cold ac and the area was very safe to be in and walk around and so close to the beaches which was perfect. There were coolers, chairs and more beach equipment. Don Julio’s is perfect for anyone who wants a comfortable place to lay there head and a hot shower but are on the go all day running on the island! Thank you Don Julio we will be back!

This property is certainly convenient and is close to the beach and restaurants. The street is quiet and the apartment is well taken care of. I would not rave about the building itself, it is modest and fine. For the price it is good.

Magic in Luquillo

Located by Playa Azul in Luquillo, it was a four minute four minute walk to the beach. From Playa Azul there is a stunning walk around the peninsula, through the shallows to Luquillo beach and the famous kioskos. It was one of the most stunningly beautiful beach walks ever and rarely crowded. The studio apartment is well located, simple and convenient and clean. Julio, the host was very attentive and helpful. Luquillo provided a peaceful home base from which we could explore the rest of enchanting Puerto Rico.

Quick Getaway

We brought our 8yo for a little Vacation before he goes back to school and he had a blast. Julio communicated with us every step of the way and any issue we had he fixed on the spot. Great communication and great directions .Place was perfect location steps away from the beach. Definitely would recommend .

Received accurate directions to the property by the owner. Great communication! The room had everything in the kitchen that you could possibly need and it was great! Walking distance to the beach. Had beach chairs and umbrella available for use. The balcony area was simply amazing! Grilled and played games and also relaxed in the hammock. Overall it was great for our first time staying up north.

Pros: The property was clean, bed really comfortable. Cons: my flight was overnight and was difficult for me to find the place, The host never give me specific instructions or directions, no apt number, or something so simple as a color of the building, so at 5 am I had to call the owner to found the apartment.

We felt centrally located to visit beaches in the area. There were not a lot of places to eat but we found a few we liked. The place itself was in a very quiet building. The patio area was well used.

We enjoyed our stay Don Julio's. Property is literally a short block away from the beach. Property was clean and in a very quiet neighborhhod. Apartment overall clean as well as clean soft bed. Balcony view isnt the best but it doesnt take away from the stay because we were barely there. Ac worked well and 2 ceiling fans that made the room really pleasant.food strip and another beach only minutes away. The only con for us, that its an assigned parking spot, but supper tight. We rented a small car and it was annoying pulling in and out (pause). So we just parked on side of road in front. Wasn't an issue at all after that. Id recommend this place.

Don Julio's Beach Resort is the perfect place to relax and refresh after an exhausting day at El Yunque Rainforest. Beautiful Azul Beach is just a couple blocks away and the restaurant area of Luquillo is within walking distance (about 20 minutes). I wish we would have had more time to take advantage of the amenities, including the bouquet of roses left for us. Nice touch! We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Puerto Rico!
