Excellent, 3 weeks ago

A VERY COMFORTABLE AND BEAUTIFUL HOUSE WITH EVERYTHING YOU NEED FOR A GREAT FAMILY STAY. THE BEACH IS JUST STEPS AWAY, AND THE POOL IS VERY CLEAN. EVERYTHING IS EXCELLENT. WE'LL BE BACK SOON.

We loved the place. Ariel was always available for anything we needed, and Doña Amanda welcomed us like family and helped us a lot. One thing to add is that when we arrived, the air conditioning in one of the rooms wasn't working properly, but we understand that sometimes appliances can have issues. The area is beautiful and very private, which is what we wanted. We hope to return soon. It's absolutely worth it.

Very nice place, beautiful beach, the place matches the photos, the person who received us (Doña Amanda) was very friendly and helpful, the electricity went out one day and they promptly set up the electric generator for the whole house. We loved the experience, we had a great time with the family. Point to improve: many vendors came to the house, they sold coconuts, bread and things like that, that generated a little mistrust, but apart from that everything was very good, I highly recommend the place, we could definitely return!!

Gracias por su vista Karol, Los vendedores son de la comunidad garífuna San Juan de la cual formamos parte. Ellos ofrecen sus productos autóctonos ( Pan de Coco, conservas, cocos de agua ), tienen acceso al complejo previo registro en la guardia.

The place fully complies with what is described in the app and the photos reflect exactly what the house is like. Everything was very clean, comfortable and with a pleasant atmosphere — really a 10/10 stay. As points for improvement, I would suggest updating the directions to get to the accommodation, since currently in San Juan there are streets under repair and some accesses are closed, which made it a little difficult to arrive. It would be ideal to indicate a central point and coordinate from there with someone from the accommodation to facilitate access. I would also improve the internet connection a bit, since at times the signal is lost. Apart from those details, the experience was excellent and I would definitely recommend this place.

The house size was great and accommodated plenty of people comfortably. The house is a bit dated and could use some updating, but otherwise was equipped with most of what we needed. The biggest problem was getting to the house was extremely, extremely difficult, especially at night. The roads, if you want to call them roads, are basically horrible. Nothing that is Juan’s fault, but that is the case. Also the hot water was not available for certain reasons he gave me that I didn’t quite understand. Overall the water was extremely salty in taste. We only used it to wash hands or dishes. The lack of hot water is a major issue for anyone not use to not having it and it is listed as an amenity. The pool was great but needs some tile replacing work. There were many coming loose that we fished out. If not for the roads I would stay again at slightly lower price. But not unless they actually made some paved roads which is unlikely any time soon. Juan was very responsive and polite.

Estimado Gonzo, Quiero comentarte que justamente la dificultad que había para llegar es porque ya están haciendo trabajos de pavimentación de la carretera de acceso a la zona, esperamos en poco tiempo contar con esta calle pavimentada. El agua al ser de pozo y estar cerca de la playa, tiende a tener un sabor ligeramente salado en esta época, es perfectamente potable y adicionalmente brindamos agua embotellada de cortesía. La casa esta concebida para familias que deseen pasar un buen tiempo en una casa comoda a pasos de la playa. Gracias por hospedarte en nuestra casa y tomaremos en cuenta tus observaciones.

We had an unforgettable stay at this beach house in Tela! The location couldn’t be better — just a few feet from the beach, inside a safe and quiet complex. It was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the coast. The house itself is super spacious with big bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and everything we needed to feel right at home. We especially loved spending time by the private pool and grilling on the deck. Having a generator was a plus too — we didn’t have to worry about power outages at all. Ariel, the host, is very personable and quick to respond to any inquiries. If you’re looking for a peaceful, well-kept place near the beach, this is it. Highly recommended!

A spacious, clean house, well-equipped kitchen, nice pool and outdoor shower; the bathrooms seem neglected, but it's normal in beach houses due to the salt and humidity. 12 people live together with enough space; you reach the beach by private access, and the distance between houses gives enough privacy without being completely isolated. Very nice, clean, safe area by the sea and you can walk on the beach. Highly recommended, we would definitely rent it again

Beautiful place, at a walkable short distance to one of a most attractive beaches of Caribbean, I spend the time in a family holiday and the place have enough amenities to have a great time, grill steak with dad, done cooking dinner with wife and mother done, and a evening by the pool !!! . when power outage presented we have backup power plant!

The house in San Juan is well located near the beach which is very private. Overall the house is fine, but they should give a little maintenance to the house, you see the passage of the years, plus the water in the house tasted to rust and was salty.

Host Response

Gracias por sus observaciones Pamela a pesar que en la playa el manténimiento de la casa es permanente. Respecto al agua es de pozo y después de una temporada con poca lluvias puede aumentar su dureza, por eso proveemos agua purificada para nuestros huéspedes

We had an amazing time staying at Ariel’s home. Our family enjoyed the house. Pool was nice at night. A very short walk to the beach where the kiddos had a ton of fun. Ariel was a great host, very quick to respond when we had a few questions. Thank you!

beautiful place and beautiful location, a very quiet private beach. The house is very well equipped. The terrible thing is the excess streets, which are in terrible condition. We went in rainy season and there were several leaks, but when reporting they were checked.

A pleasant stay with the family. There were 8 of us and we all managed to be comfortable. The place is just as it is in the photographs. Juan Ariel's attention was excellent and Dunia's support upon arrival and departure was very good. we arrived with two small dogs (schanuzer) and there was no problem. super close to the sea, less than 4 minutes away, the beach is almost private. The rooms are very spacious, furnished, the kitchen very complete with everything you need, the pool feels private and the warm water all the time. The complex is safe, private security. We will definitely be back!

We have amazing time in juan house plenty room and very comfortable I recommend this place for awesome vacation

The house is beautiful and it’s in a great location. Our family of 11 was comfortable and we felt that the house was big enough for us. The pool is nice and clean and beautiful lighting to enjoy it at night too. The house was clean and has all the things you need, we could’ve used extra towels, though. The small fenced in “subdivision” that this house is in, is beautiful, very clean, quiet, and safe. The walk to the beach is like two minutes, and the beach is beautiful and clean. The road up to the house is not that great and you have to go through the whole town to get to the house, since this subdivision is literally on the beach. We did encounter internet problems, but the owner was there fixing it himself and he stayed until it really worked. La casa es muy bonita y la ubicación es increíble. La casa es amplia, para nuestra familia de 11 personas nos sentimos muy cómodos con amplio espacio. La piscina es muy linda y limpia y las luces permiten que se pueda disfrutar de noche. La casa estaba limpia y cuenta con las cosas necesarias, pero si hubiésemos preferido tener mas toallas. El zona residencial donde se encuentra la casa está cercada, es muy bonita, está limpia, no hay mucho ruido, y segura. El camino de la casa a la playa solamente son dos minutos máximo y es un traemos de arena y rodeada de palmeras. La calle que lleva a la casa no está muy buena y hay que manejar por todo el pueblo hasta llegar allí, ya que está literalmente en frente de la playa. Tuvimos problemas con el internet pero el dueño de la casa fue y lo resolvió personalmente.

Very nice house, sadly with a bunch of maintenance issues, broken doors and bed. We had to sleep with concrete block as support in the master room because the bed collapsed at one of the corners, the wood was rotten. My husband had an accident on the stairs, due the nearest bathroom was leaking water from the toilet and the stairs do not have handles, which makes them super dangerous for anyone. The place was super clean. Thanks

Excellent stay! The house met the expectations of all the people we went to, pet friendly! the cleanliness and facilities were quality. the recreational areas were the best in the residential area, spacious rooms and comfortable beds! We had everything we had EVERYTHING we needed. The host is always attentive to every detail and very friendly, Doña Dunia was very polite. Delivery was very useful. I definitely recommend it 100%
