My spouse and I loved this pleasant and very reasonably priced location right on the beach. It was so nice it was hard to do anything but lay on the beach and access the cafe/bar. The staff was friendly but not intrusive and the accomodations, while not like those of a luxury hotel, were perfect for us. I would highly... more

My partner and I stayed here after spending a few nights next door at Numero Uno. Although it is not as aesthetically beautiful on the outside as Numero Uno, the rooms are very cute and clean. L'Habitacion also has a decent lunchtime snack bar that is affordable and very accessible. more

I am travelling to Puerto Rico every year since 1990. Unfortunately last year (2004) I could'nt. But this year I will be back and ofcourse I will stay in "L'Habitation Beach Guesthouse". I am always feeling like in a big family and in the meantime Marie and Michel are friends. The location is great, some minutes from Condado Strip and... more

My friend Ajay introduced me to the location at Ocean Park. I found the bar area to have a pleasant feeling. Arturo was very courteous to me and my friends. The beach chairs that they rent are clean and comfortable. I also love the fact that the Guesthouse is Gay friendly. Although when I visit Puerto Rico I have my... more

Coming from a higher priced hotel in Isla Verde, I found La Habitacion to be superior in service, accomodations and location. Right on the beach in Ocean Park, this is a quaint, friendly guesthouse where people ask and remember your name and are genuinely concerned that you enjoy your stay. They include continental breakfast at the patio bar and also... more

we have been there three times now and will always come back! it is still the best beach location, the friendliest staff and the best you can get for little money.... if you expect to get a 4star guesthouse (worth 200,- per night or more) for a 1star rate (to my dear friends that paid 75,- or 95,- in the... more

People who are writing bad reviews don't really know what's important in life. First, at L'Habitation you are staying RIGHT on the water. In the outdoor courtyard, the ever-so-friendly staff proffers a Pina Collada or similar beverage as you gaze out at the turquoise sea. The sand is but a footstep away. Meno, the house cat, is quirky and friendly... more

I am not normally in the habit of writing reviews but L'Habitation Beach was such an awful experience when I stayed there May 31st that I felt people should be forewarned. In terms of value for money this was the worst place I have ever stayed anywhere in the world on 4 continents. I paid $96 for an Ocean View... more

We found L'Habitation Beach through Damron's travel guide in 2002 and were very pleasantly surprised. We have been going back annually and will again at the end of this summer. The staff is amazing! Marie and Michel are running an efficient, clean, inviting, but no-frills guest house. Like other reviews have stated: if you're looking for amenities found at higher-end... more

L'Habitation is a seedy run-down guesthouse which has definitely seen better days. Bed linen is stained, towels threadbare and paying for the "ocean view" room is a joke. The view of the beach is out of your shutters which you have to hold open, across a below average patio through railings. It was so bad that we considered going elsewhere... more
