The room where we stayed could have brighter lights. The room can be cleaner, especially under the bed, it was full of dust. The hotel is in a good location, easy to walk to the beach and restaurants. The staff were very nice and helpful.

Super friendly receptionist with lots of local knowledge and a generous will to share. You can feel the care and hospitality they extend to their guests. Good location. Walkable to the beach and only a few block away from a major thoroughfare.

Self check in was easy. Communication was quick. Location was not bad. Wish it was closer to the beach. The room and the establishment is beautiful and clean. Exactly like the pictures. I only wish it had hot water.

If I come back to Puerto Rico I will definitely stay at this hotel again. Clean rooms, very nice staff and housekeeping. They have a shared area with big clean kitchen and the fridge. I can’t say anything bad about this hotel. They have private limited parking but if you can’t get a space there, there’s street parking available too. There’re a few food places within a walking distance as well. They even let us use the shared shower in the hotel if we needed to after we checked out.

I would definitely recommend La buena vida also would 100% stay again if I want to be in Santurce area next time. Staff made my whole stay feel like home as soon as I arrived. Lots of things walking distance but also calling uber/lyft was never super expensive from here either.
