“In my opinion, this property, though marketed as a family-friendly seaside option near Ponce's attractions, seems to fall short of expectations. Reports indicate significant deterioration, the presence of stray animals, and substandard maintenance, which would make me look elsewhere. While the listing highlights a pool, restaurant, and beach access, I'd suggest travelers confirm the current condition and operational status before booking.”
