What Our Guests Are Saying
It was a building next to a dry cleaners that looked in poor condition
It was a building next to a dry cleaners that looked in poor condition. The noise from the dry cleaners in the morning woke me up. At first I thought it was construction. Next, little bugs appeared in the bathroom sink and in the kitchen. The first evening we noticed mold on the ceiling, we wanted to leave the place immediately but could not get our expensive amount back. We needed towels, after the second day. Anything extra, we had to pay for it. We booked for four days! No one to speak to but a person hired through Optium. The floor and walls were scratched and in poor condition. We definitely didn’t get what we paid for. Almost forgot there were streaks and water marks on the blue walls. There was no closet or any bureau where I could hang my clothes. We lived out of our suitcases. On a positive note can say that our refrigerator worked and our air conditioning worked well.
We had a fabulous stay at the Weekender.
We had a fabulous stay at the Weekender. The hotel was even better than envisaged, a secret little oasis in the hub of San Juan, very peaceful and thoughtfully designed. We’ve stayed in PR many times but really enjoyed staying at this location – close to great bars, restaurants, shops, yoga studio and walkable to the beach, Condardo and beyond. Can’t wait to come back and check out the new on site restaurant! Thank you for having us.
My family and I are super grateful
My family and I are super grateful to Abraham the owner of the house, since he treated us super well and the times we communicated with him was always at the disposal of us guests. Regarding the Otium platform, we cannot say the same, since the day before we were charged an additional $25, which are not refundable. They also add instructions and things that do not appear at the time of purchase. An example of this may be that for pets you also have to pay. Another example may be, that in the rules they add imply that Abraham is not responsible if something is damaged, which is completely false, since he is a good host and was always available to us. In short, I recommend this excellent accommodation, they just don’t let themselves be confused by Otium, because they can come to think that the house is a trap or a scam, when it is not and I say this, since we came to think about it for a moment.
We had an amazing time!
We had an amazing time! We loved our accommodations. It was close for the beach, shops, restaurants, and a quick Uber from Old San Juan. The pool area was our breakfast view each day. We loved the option of cooking in the spacious, well-stocked kitchen. The beds were super comfortable. Honestly, it was perfect for our family of 5, and I definitely see us returning!
This place literally couldn’t be better!!
This place literally couldn’t be better!! Book it now. So so so glad we did. The views are to die for. The balcony is such a wonderful perk, the room is clean and comfortable. The kitchenette has everything you need. The bathroom is spacious. 5 stars all around. Also, try the pizza place on the road in. Looks like a random hole in the wall spot, but some of the best pizza and pasta we’ve ever had.
Convenient location to beach access,
Convenient location to beach access, restaraunts, shopping, Walgreens, super max market and close to airport as well a cruise ship ports. Stayed for 4 nights and did have a main water pipe break the first night, but was fixed the next day. Wifi didn’t work until last 2 days of stay, but would deleting stay again due to the convenience of everything around it. It is located in town so it’s quite noisy, but i think you’ll get that in allot of places unless they’re insulated better.
This place was by far the best place I’ve stayed in Puerto Rico
This place was by far the best place I’ve stayed in Puerto Rico, it was walking distance to restaurants the main strip as well as the infamous La placita💃🏽. I would highly recommend this location, it has a great restaurant next door as well as a Walgreens for any last minute pick ups.
If I could give this property 10 stars
If I could give this property 10 stars, I would! The lush greenery, and peaceful atmosphere made it the perfect place to relax and recharge. There are multiple room accomodations: Casitas (near the pools), Casonas ( more modern), and Villas (spacious). We stayed in a Villa for the balcony but it was small so we didn’t use it and the bathroom was a bit more compact compared to the other room types but neither affected our stay. The saltwater pool was a vibe, perfectly sized with beach chaises for sunbathing. The location is fantastic, within walking distance of Ocean Park Beach, bars, lounges, (hookah) Walgreens, and a 99-cent store. A huge shoutout to Orlando at the front desk, who gave us the warmest welcome and local eatery recommendations. We also had an amazing time with bartenders Miguel and Leroy, enjoying great drinks and even better conversation. On our last day, the acting property supervisor was also a pleasure to chat with. Overall an incredible experience & will return!
We had a fantastic stay!
We had a fantastic stay! The location was perfect – close to everything we needed, and the pool was a great bonus. We were initially unsure about renting a car, but we’re so glad we didn’t. Ubers were readily available and there was plenty to do nearby. We did experience a minor issue with the hot water, but the hosts were incredibly responsive and resolved it quickly. We would definitely recommend this Airbnb and would happily return!
Really enjoyed our night in Casita 1
Really enjoyed our night in Casita 1 at the Weekender. The very well-maintained outdoor spaces make this a cozy and welcoming spot; the pool was great after a hot run and the open air bar had a friendly and fun vibe! The room was clean if relatively spare; the bathroom was well appointed with supplies and was quite spacious. Staff were super kind. Location steps from Calle Loiza means easy access to lots of food and drink – but even on a Saturday night we didn’t have any noise issues despite Casita 1 being one of the closest to the street and entrance. Would definitely return here next time in SJ!
Overall our stay was pretty good.
“Overall our stay was pretty good. The space was clean and had extra amenities such as toiletries, snacks, and beach chairs. The view was great, but the balcony was a bit small. The building was convenient to everything, but did not have direct beach access. The building was a little more dated than the pictures showed, but overall we would stay here again. Worth the price and the hosts were super nice.

The apartment is beautifully and tastefully decorated and cozy.
The apartment is beautifully and tastefully decorated and cozy. On arrival the apartment was tidy but not clean as you would expect, reason which we are deducting stars. When surfaces are dusty and floors not mopped I question if other things aren’t as clean as expected. Location is prime and very walkable to restaurants and night life. The pool area is lovely and they’ve made an effort to make it feel welcoming and tropical. We didn’t get a chance to try out the pool but would’ve loved to take a plunge. Check out instructions were clear and not cumbersome. I would stay again should the cleanup improve.
This unit was the perfect selection for my friend and I.
This unit was the perfect selection for my friend and I. The other units around were super respectful and friendly. The area is very private and safe. Very local to many of the great restaurants and places to visit in San Juan. So many walkable nice restaurants, supermarkets, and pharmacies. The place was very clean, just as describe in the photos and listing. The space was so cozy and spacious. The pool area is very beautiful and quiet. Only little downside was that we had to buy certain products for the upkeep of the house such as paper towels and dish soap but very minuscule inconvenience to go buy since everything is so close. Overall I would definitely choose to stay here once again when back in the city. 10/10 recommend, very happy. 😁
Highly recommend Otium’s place.
Highly recommend Otium’s place. It was so clean and beautifully decorated on the inside. The amenities were just as described, easy parking, beautifully clean pool, and so well appointed. The balcony was a really nice place to relax and unwind and it was so quiet and peaceful. Our group enjoyed the space very much and had so much fun walking less than 10 minutes to the beach. Plus it was conveniently located so close to many great restaurants. We were very happy with this rental and would recommend it to anyone.
We had an amazing stay at this Airbnb in San Juan
We had an amazing stay at this Airbnb in San Juan! The place was spotless—everything was so clean and well-maintained, which made our stay incredibly comfortable. The host was super responsive and made sure we had everything we needed, which really added to the overall great experience. The location couldn’t have been better—there were fantastic restaurants and beautiful beaches within walking distance, so we could easily explore the area without any hassle. Highly recommend this spot if you’re planning a trip to San Juan!
Everything was perfect only downside was the check in.
Everything was perfect only downside was the check in. The check in is already late in the afternoon and there’s an extra charge for early checked when most Air B&B check in are at 3pm. But the issue with check in was that we had to wait about an hour for the room to be inspected before we were able to get in to our room. But overall it’s a beautiful place, in a great centralized location and the staff are very friendly, knowledgeable and attentive if anything is needed.
Could not have been more satisfied
Could not have been more satisfied with our stay at Otium’s The Weekender. Stephen was so kind and helpful, the place was extremely clean and kept well. The addition of the bar and service from Hector was perfect for relaxing at the hotel property (cocktails were on point). The pool was great to sit in after a beach day. The only thing to note is the bathroom and toilet are technically in the room that we stayed. There was a one separating wall, something we were able to adjust to. Maybe the other rooms were different. Nonetheless a perfect stay, we greatly appreciated the house keeping who also went out of her way and offered to dry my bathing suit when she saw me laying it out to dry while packing. The extra attention to detail were noted and we will absolutely be back and will be recommending to friends for future travel.
Had problems with digital lock
Had problems with digital lock upon arrival switched to another unit had no problem with lock. In 2 days switched to original unit again lock problems. Finally replaced lock no more problems. One problem solved another arises, no hot water in shower. Bathroom sink and kitchen sink had hot water. Was supposed to be fixed next day same problem that night no hot water in shower. Told they would check next day, to late I was leaving that day.
