Before I begin my review of Lucia Beach Villas, I want to share a couple of things about my family and myself. We have traveled extensively and have stayed at many wonderful resorts. We are, in all honesty, very particular when it comes to cleanliness, safety and comfort. We try to research our destinations so as not to have any surprises. The only surprise that we had at Lucia Beach Villas was how near perfect our experience was.

Our trip started out with a small “fender bender” with our rental car. Because we were lost, tired, and frightened from this experience and had not yet been to Lucia Beach Villas, our wonderful hosts went over and above the call of any hotelier. After I called LBV and told them of our small misfortune, the owner, Jeanette came to the police station where we were filing our report and personally escorted us to the hotel. Bear in mind, we were lost and were roughly 45 miles from the hotel, yet Jeanette greeted us with a smile, and asked if we wanted to stop and get dinner before we began our drive to the hotel. At that point, I knew that we were in for a great trip! I will not even begin to try and express how strongly I feel about the compassion and warmth of Jeanette and her husband, Gary, except to say that I feel that we have found friends that we will have for a lifetime.

The villas are sparkling clean! I am a total “stickler” about cleanliness, and had absolutely no reservations about using the hotel bedding, towels, etc. There is no carpeting in the villas, which is perfect since we were generally damp or sandy from the pool or ocean. There is a broom in the villa so you were able to simply sweep up any messes. And of course, the villa was cleaned completely during the middle of our stay. The kitchen had all of the essentials, as well as a blender- you can’t beat fresh margaritas while sitting on the beach! The villas have a wonderful floor plan for a family, as my husband and I were able to use the bedroom upstairs and our 2 daughters had the futon and television, DVD, etc. downstairs. There are even movies to rent from the hotel! Next time we will bring some of our own, also, as it is a good way to end the day when you’re tired. (Catch that- “next time”-it’s already being planned!) Also, the pool is kept immaculate. We have a pool at home, and ours is not cleaned and maintained as well as this one!

Safety is always another concern of ours. As the mother of 2 teenage daughters, I was relieved to find out that after the staff is no longer in the office, there is a night guard who patrols the gated area. It was just a good feeling to know that there was someone watching out for you, although we never once felt unsafe. The wonderful owners, Jeanette and Gary, also live on the premises, and their dedication to guests is unsurpassed.

The beauty of the area is second to none! We have been all over the Caribbean, and the peace and solitude of the long stretch of beach by LBV, will be in our memories forever. We wanted a family trip to celebrate our daughter’s high school graduation. I actually wept from happiness while sitting on the beach, watching my husband walk with our 2 daughters. The waves were lapping at the shore, and we were the only people in sight, and I realized that this was a memory that my girls will take with them forever.

Finally, the Puerto Rican people were so kind to us. It was actually an enjoyable trip to go to the local supermarket and visit with the friendly islanders. We did a few small day trips, and felt that we were treated with total respect and that the people wanted to make our trip even better.

I cannot find words of praise that are sufficient to rate this hotel. I would recommend (and have recommended) it to anyone who is considering a peaceful, relaxing, fun adventure. It would be an ideal setting for a family reunion, wedding, and goodness knows, we enjoyed our daughter’s graduation trip here. From the hosts and staff, to the villas, to the ocean- we experienced perfection. Don’t hesitate to book a trip here.

I was so happy to find this secluded place in Puerto Rico! Staying here the first two nights of my 13-day adventure in Puerto Rico and the Southern Caribbean was a perfect start. Lucia Beach, which was steps away from our Villa, was beautiful. Arriving in the evening along with a full moon, I immediately went to the beach to sit and meditate/relax after a daylong trip traveling from Colorado, my pics tell it all. Check-in was easy. If you’re a traveler who requires plush accommodations, this place may not be for you (small towels, small pillows, average mattress), however, accommodations were clean. I liked that a kitchenette with all utensils were in the villa if you wanted to cook. Air conditioning was in good working shape. It was great to hear the ocean at night while sitting on the 2nd floor balcony and fun to wake up with the roosters in the morning! They had a nice clean pool to enjoy although I preferred the beautiful small beach. The property does not have a restaurant but the property next door (the only two hotels in the area) does. The nice staff was always willing to help you with directions or help you with “what and where” to go. In summary, I highly recommend staying at Lucia Beach Villas if you are looking for a secluded, quiet and clean beachfront property.

My husband and I were looking for a place where we could take my mother and two girls out of the metro area. We got there Easter Sunday in the afternoon. The villas are brand new, clean, and well kept and equipped. The grounds are well kept and though there's no restaurant on site, you have your own kitchenette and there is plenty good restaurants or fast foods either walking distance or for a short 5 minute drive. Since it has 13 to 14 villas, we met prettty much every guest and made new friends... So did my two daguthers, who are 7 and 3! As you walk out of your villa, there's a swiminng pool, suitable for the young and not so young as well. From the top, you may relax with a cascade that soothes you, and the beach is just a step away, which enables you to go to sleep to the sound of the waves.. The owners are always around making sure that everything is going great during your stay. Definitely worth the money and it was the perfect getaway from the city. Prepare to relax and get a nice tan with good service and the firendliest hosts of all!!!

We just returned from our trip to Puerto Rico and the Hotel Lucia Beach Villas. The hotel was wonderful! Great views, very nice and clean pool, wonderful rooms. You can hear the ocean as you fall asleep and wake up to it in the morning! The staff was great especially Anna the supervisor. She went above and beyond to provide us with information on the island and local attractions- thank you Anna! The hotel is the best part of that area and the best one we saw in town. We would stay there again and plan to!
