About this condo rental
Luxuriously appointed and with great attention to detail, our Chef's Delight apartment puts you in a privileged location within walking distance to the best that Condado has to offer. Less than 15 minutes from airport, you can be in the ocean less than 45 minutes after your plane lands. Chef’s Delight features modern decor, is fully air conditioned and features wifi throughout. It contains all that you might need for a quiet, relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable vacation, from kitchen utensils to beach chairs to large flat-screen TV in each bedroom and in the living room. This is another fine property brought to you by The Marco Polo Collection, a collection of fine vacation rental properties! You will be in excellent hands with our professional staff, with many years of experience, drawn from Puerto Rico, the U.S. and Europe. The building has direct access to the beach, which is 25 yards from the lobby door. There is a full-sized heated pool and a children's pool. It is also a short walking distance to restaurants, offering anything from local foods to pizzas to sushi and steak houses. Beach chairs, towels, an umbrella and cooler are provided for guests' use. Supermarkets (open 24/7) are also close by. If your visit is for medical tourism, the property is a short walk away from the Presbyterian Hospital and Medical Center. A House Book is also provided as a helpful guide for our guests. It provides guidance to grocery shopping, pharmacies, restaurants and bars that are all within a short walk, as well as throughout the city and around the island. Oh, and the building has a security desk at the entrance to the lobby that is manned 24/7. Chef’s Delight owns 1 dedicated parking space available. Although you can find everything within walking distance, there are bus stops on Ashford Avenue very close to the building which has buses that go all the way to Old San Juan, so a car-less vacation is definitely feasible.

Our stay was GREAT customer service GREAT. I didn’t want to make any requests during my stay and wanted to wait till after I left. First, the mattress, I’m sorry but it needs to be changed. The springs in the mattress made it very difficult to find a comfortable spot to sleep, that followed by the constant noise in the locked closet which sounded like a boiler. It kept me up at nights especially when it kicked into high gear. The ironing board needs to be changed it could not stay opened we had to place it closed on a table to iron. The AC in the dining room was not working and we couldn’t watch TV because the pixels were fuzzy. That happens when the cable wires are too long and poor WiFi. Oh, the laundry detergent bottles were empty so I ended up using a little from the trial size that was there. The plus to my stay was central
Location to everything, secure, CLEAN apartment and friendly staff. Would I stay again…yes, if all of the above is taken care of.

The air conditioner in the second bedroom did NOT work. Which most definitely was an issue because several of us is dealing with asthma with temperature over 100 degrees for the 4 days we stayed there.
Also, No privacy for married couples on vacation. Due to the fact that we had to keep the door open with a fan in it to try and get cool air into the room from the eating area. The whole reason for booking a two bedroom was for privacy.

This unit was a perfect spot for me and my three teen daughters. The unit was clean and had everything we needed, the pool and beach right downstairs was super convenient. The building is located in a happening, safe and very walkable area of san juan. We happened to lose power for a full day during the week for somekind of upgrade but Judith communicated and was very hands on with trying to help. Despite the power loss for a full day I still give 5 stars, that should say somethnig!

We had a very pleasant stay and our host was a great communicator. The building has all kinds of rules but don’t worry about the pieces falling off the building, just make sure you don’t break a rule.

We have visited Condado a few times this year so we were more than familiar with the building and the area. The location of this building is absolutely perfect for someone staying in Condado since there is so much walking. Overall the unit was great, but I will say we missed the ocean views we’ve had in the past (that’s no fault of the Chefs Delight owners).
The reason we missed the ocean views and sounds was because we stayed in the “2nd bedroom”. At night the air conditioning unit was super loud turning on each night. The other issue was the mattress. Unlike the larger bedroom there wasn’t a memory foam mattress. It was super uncomfortable and we felt every movement so neither of us slept well.
The location of the unit definitely made up for the uncomfortable sleep, but the change of mattress in the smaller room would make this a 9/10 review.

The property is as described by others. The outside of the building definitely needs updated and sparked a bit of concern. The condo itself has been updates.
Pros
1. Space; two beds and two baths
2. Location on Ashford
3. Fully equipped kitchen
4. Washer/dryer
5. Nice touch of snacks on arrival
6. All beach supplies
7. Anything you can possibly need for a vacation, books, games, iron, hair dryer
8. Very strict about elevators, beach access etc. which we found comforting.
Cons
1. The lighting is dim
2. The seating in living area is fake kind of leather that you slide off. Not that comfy
3. The pillows were flat, bed in second bedroom hard
4. There were ants on the kitchen counter and a few bugs in the kitchen area. (Spray is in the closet) All food was kept in the fridge. Even crackers. This being said, we understand the climate actually attracts insects of this type.

This was our first time vacationing in PR. We had a very good time and lot of fun. The house is very good for families and the best part is the kitchen stocked with everything you need. Also the location was perfect right on condado with access to beach directly behind the property. Will definitely recommend.

This location is great and besides the space, I chose it because it offerred parking. Easy access to the beach, and location is great to walk around the Condado and just a shirt drive to Old San Juan. I did find it a bit tight for 6 people since there are 2 full size beds, a couch (which my son found confortable) and a futton which was not as confortable. My boys are very tall so the futton was defenitely not the best option, yet all we had. However, they have beach/pool towels, washer and drier. They had orange juice, eggs, bed, bananas, coffee, various boxes of cereal which were great for next morning's breakfast as we arrived late. The doorman/ security were very nice and accomodating as well. If I come back with 2 less teens boys, most likely I will stay here again.

Chef’s Delight was a wonderful condo and very comfortable. The description was exactly as is. We had everything we needed and then some. The owners were very hospitable and welcomed us with a stocked refrigerator for an immediate meal and a much needed cocktail after a long travel day. We were in walking distance of great places to eat. We had one question for the property manager and they were prompt in replying and even checking back afterwards.
The only problem was the condition of the building itself. The building is under quite a bit of much needed construction. The outside does not match the interior and that was a disappointment.
I will still give it a 5-star because the condo itself and the customer service. Both were equally fantastic.

The condo was exactly as described. The bathrooms are significantly smaller than expected but till nice enough. The A/C is super cold bring an extra blanket because it’s either sweltering hot or freezing. The pool access is great as is the beach access. It was super sweet that the owners had complimentary rum and coke and light snacks available. They also provided beach towels and chairs which made the beach trip super convenient. Would recommend and would stay again.

Perfect Mini Vacation
I love Puerto Rico, this was the first time we didn’t stay in a hotel and the experience was so much better. The property was exactly as pictured. It’s kore convenient having access to things you are used to in your own home. We had a wonderful experience from booking to checking out. The condo building itself was under construction which caused confusion to the beach but the staff were very helpful. We will definitely be back.

Coming in early for a cruise
Having sometime had flight delays, us 4 gals decided to come in a couple of days early in order to see more of San Juan than just the cruise pier. There were many properties to choose from but we liked the fact that this one was on the beach and had access. Though the building itself still has some areas that need repair, our unit was spectacular. There was everything we could possibly need from beach gear to a few groceries in the kitchen. Our flight came in really late, but we had no problem communicating with property management or getting access to the unit. Had a small problem with one of the toilets which was attended to almost immediately. There are plenty of restaurants and shops nearby and just an Uber away from Old San Juan. We'd stay there again.

Condo in San Juan
Our stay at the condo was nice. Upon visiting the site prior to our stay, a resident of the building was quite rude to us.
The building is quite old and could use an update on the exterior. The pool is amazingly large and the building is literally steps away from the beach:). Overall, a great place to stay!!!
