Adventure Around Every Corner

• Downtown Luquillo (3 blocks): container park “El Patio,” 12+ restaurants, lively bars, coffee shops, even local barbers & salons
• La Pared surf beach (2 blocks): a top surf spot with a fantastic surf school for all levels
• Costa Azul Beach Point: sunrise every morning, Pilates at 7am, and one of the only east-coast sunset views on the island

And if you’re ready to explore beyond town:

What Makes Casa Grote Del Mar Special

This is not a polished resort with swim-up bars and poolside umbrellas. This is Puerto Rico, the real deal. Here, you’ll feel the rhythm of local life—whether it’s the sound of waves crashing at night or a tricked-out Toyota Celica cruising by with Bad Bunny on the speakers.

If you want an authentic Caribbean experience with the comforts of home, this is your place. Grocery stores, restaurants, and modern conveniences are nearby, but the heartbeat of Puerto Rican culture is right outside your door.

We’re also more than happy to connect you with our wonderful local friends so you feel like a welcome guest, not just a tourist.

Location
• 30 minutes from San Juan Airport
• Located in Luquillo, the most exciting up-and-coming beach town on the island
