Pools Beach Cabanas - Rincon, Puerto Rico

Pools Beach Cabanas, Rincon hotel review Visited: February 2011

Posted by roberttaino

This place was awesome. Carol and Dennis were great. We stayed at a cabana that was absolutely beautiful. During the night we could hear the sounds of the ocean and felt a peacefulness which I've not found in the states.

There were pools and the beach right across the street, which was about 25 steps. There was also action (if you want it) within walking distance.

The sushi was better than Hoboken or Jersey City's finest. It was to die for! They also had an awesome lunch menu! I personally will go back again and again.

Experience the laid back attitude and ocean roar as you and your family have the time of your life! Thanks again to Dennis and Carol who are the best hosts in the world!

I love this place! I have been here twice, and have stayed in both the secluded "love shack" and in a two-bedroom cabana on the main property.

It was not luxury, but was exactly what I was looking for in my trip. It was laid back, clean, and on the water. In addition, they had a great bar and restaurant, and two of the nicest most accommodating proprietors I have met (Dennis and Carol).

I am already planning another trip back!

Pools Beach Cabanas is right across from Pools Beach, which is one of the many wonderful beaches in Rincon. The main deal is surfing, but if you have kids, they will go crazy for this place and this beach.

Pools Beach Cabanas are in a little complex/compound with a pool, bar, grille and a beach right across the street, including modest/easy snorkeling, excellent rocks to climb, and beautiful warm water. There are some waves, but they are not overly current-y.

Then take a five-minute walk to Sandy Beach where there is lots of sand, a great bar, and a more active atmosphere. Also, within an extremely easy drive are many, many more beaches for surfing, exploring, each with their own special character.

Keep in mind that Pools Beach Cabanas are not like a traditional hotel, not very fancy. They are comfortable, a great value, with extremely nice owners/hosts and exceptional environs.

The restaurants in and around the Rincon beaches are great. There are several that stand out. Number one: Pools Beach! What a delightful surprise to find the outdoor bar and grill at Pools had a great cook whose name is Mike, and a lovely pool. So, parents and kids can relax and enjoy.

Saturday night is big party night at Pools. The owner and his friends set up a ‘half-pipe’ and show surfer and skateboard movies. The parents have a great time, but still the kids can sleep soundly in the cabanas while all this is going on.

I’d also recommend Black Eagle “the Spot” . They serve the best tuna I’ve ever had. Also, I suggest eating at Shipwreck – incredible seafood salad. In addition, the Lazy Parrot is very good and has an exceptional setting. For more traditional Puerto Rican fare – and a certain authenticity (old guys hanging out every day at the taxi stand) – go to “413”. It is an inexpensive stop-in store for pastries and breakfast.
