Just returned from a brief getaway at the Blue Boy Inn, encouraged by the many positive raves it got on TripAdvisor. For couples looking for a small, quiet inn close to Rincon beaches, this can't be beat.

Marc is a wonderful host with great tips on nearby destinations and good places to eat. The Inn's gardens and pool area are outstanding, the rooms are beautifully furnished, and there is plenty of privacy.

It is just steps to the marina beach, and Steps Beach is just a few minutes walk north up the sand for snorkeling. We were amazed at how uncrowded the beaches north of town were -- all the way up past Domes beach and beyond.

If you are interested in a low-key (child-free) place to enjoy the sand, sun and water in the Rincon area, the Blue Boy is an excellent choice!

We stayed for five nights, wished it could have been five months. Marc is the penultimate host; our flight to BQN was delayed, but he'd called the airline, learned that and was waiting for us at the entrance when we drove up (the directions he'd sent us were spot on, too).

Marc couldn't do enough for us, and his breakfasts were to die for. Good bed, plenty of hot water, beautiful surroundings (you have to see the garden), what more could one want? We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, would return in a New York minute.

Don't miss Paco and Pico (Pico's the one with the spot on his shoulder, I think); they were three weeks old at our visit.

If your heading for Puerto Rico you should try this wonderful little Inn. Marc and his staff will treat you like gold. Over the last 10 years we have stayed just about everywhere in the islands. The Blue Boy is by far the nicest, cleanest and most welcoming place we have ever stayed. Just can not say enough about this place. The roses and candy in each room for Valentine Day was a great little touch.

Marc will also give you the heads up on what is happening locally along with advise on restaurants.

The little restaurant called the Ship Wreck about 100 feet from the garden enterance serves some of the best dishes on the Island.

Great time.

This was our first time on the West side of Puerto Rico, and if you find beauty in the countryside with little tourism, nightlife, etc.. then you'll love it. This little Inn is what we would call perfect. It was the first trip my fiance and had been on since we had our little one a couple of years ago, and this couldnt have been more of a romantic, sirene getaway. After we left the Inn and headed to the San Juan area for the remainder of our trip, we couldnt stop talking about how badly we missed the Blue Boy!!! Mark's impeccable attention to detail has made this property unlike any other we've ever stayed in. We are returning in the summer to host our wedding at the Blue Boy. The entire property is tastefully done, spotless, and the gardens are beautiful. Breakfast was fresh and delicious and if you're gonna go, make it soon, the rates are so reasonable I cant imagine them staying this way for long.
