I was somewhat disapointed after careful reviewing all the area hotels and paradors. Mary Lee's has 2 great pluses: a spectacular and ample space in the rooms. Also plus is 2 nice beaches very close by. But beware: Cana Gorda is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays--which is the only beach with a shop (water, beach chair, souveniers). The location while... more

We stayed in the room "Suzie" for three nights recently and had a wonderful time! The room was just off the patio from Mary Lee's house which meant that we heard all the daytime conversations...but that wasn't too big of a deal. It was so relaxing and soothing to sleep each night with a breeze coming in and we could... more

We stayed at Mary Lee's 3 days and nites in early March and completely enjoyed our time there. We reserved a small waterfront room and had the good fortune to be upgraded at no cost to Tranquila, a large waterfront apt. with a spacious veranda where we spent our mornings and evenings relaxing and absorbing the Caribbean stretched out in... more

Mary Lee is an institution in Guanica. For 48 years this 86 years young pioneer has built and acquired and transformed homes on the Punta Ballena area into tropically decorated apartments with full kitchens. We believed we had booked a second story apartment with a view of the ocean. However, when we got there we discovered we were in a... more

We loved Mary Lees. This area of Puerto Rico is very attractive--low key, but lots of interesting things to explore--beaches, dry forest, birding, snorkeling, boating, good food, local color. We loved our cottage--Sirenna 2-open and spacious, boldly decorated, well-equipped, nice water views, but unfortunately, not directly on the water. Our only regret is that our time was too brief, 3... more

Mary Lee is awesome and very friendly. We stayed in Ruthie, which I'd recommend, as if you're lucky you can visit Mary Lee in the morning and tan on her large balcony overlooking the caribbean. If you do anything, go with Miguel out to La Ballena island for some early sun, peace, aquamarine, and a slice of spiritual paradise. Also,... more

As the title says, expectations are everything. Since Mary Lees is listed in the Trip Advisor B&B section, we expected a bed and BREAKFAST. First mistake.... Mary Lees has no food. Not even a vending machine. Other things one has come to expect in a lodging experience like PHONE and/or TV and Internet..... are NOT present at Mary Lees. Also,... more

Spent 3 nights at Mary Lee's 1/09, would love to be back there right now! We stayed in "Ruthie" which was listed as a large studio room off of the courtyard. While I was disappointed that it wasn't an ocean view room, the room itself was great. It was a very large room, open w/king bed, full size sofa, dinette,... more

Our family (2 adults and 3 children ages 4, 12, and 14) stayed at Mary Lee's by the Sea for 7 nights last Christmas break. It was fabulous! We wanted something off the beaten path and this was it! We flew into San Juan and rented a car to drive to Guanica. We stopped at a grocery store just before... more
