Marbella Apartments

The location is literally the highlight of this place. That being Maribella as a whole. This particular condo is on the 14th floor and the balcony overlooks isla verde ave. AC units work great. Facilities are beautiful. Pool is clean and well managed. Location is right on beach.

The condo was disgusting, balcony was covered in bird feces when we arrived. The floors were dirty when we arrived. The furniture is very old and uncomfortable. Beds are basically on the floor. No beach chairs, beach towels etc. cookware was limited and also very old and dirty. Only one burner on stove works. We found 3 live cockroaches during our stay. A lot of things need fixed. Broken balcony door. Bathroom needs some updating. Lock on door does not work. Not very secure. It needs alot of TLC. Also the owner will not respond to calls and takes forever to respond to texts. Even when we arrived he took an hour to give us the info to check in!

La ubicacion perfecta muy buena

no have microwave in the kitchen, and the time for open the gate for the security es to much.

Just location!

Too much to list it all but there were a lot of things that didn’t work as well as very unsafe conditions

1) The apartment itself was functional enough but it was also expensive due to its location and pool/beach access. The kitchen was equipped enough to make some coffee and store leftovers. The bed I used was comfortable. 2) The pool and beach access were nice touches even if the beach was full of Spring Break people. 3) The view of this apartment faces away from the beach but is high enough to see the hills beyond Laguna San Jose. The sunset view was pretty good. You also get to watch (but not hear) planes land.

1) My Internet access died so I couldn't provide check-in info in advance. While I got through the outer gate, the guard was pretty gruff about access to the lobby or wifi, but I'm sure he has to deal with idiots like me all the time. Eventually, I got him the info so he could log me in. 2) The lobby is fine, but the elevators are probably from the 1970s. I dislike heights, so finding out *after checking in* that it was on the 14th floor did not please my stomach. Worse, then elevator door failed to open at first on the 14th floor, then sprung open with a big scrape. I didn't use that elevator again, but at least there were several! 3) The 14th floor hallway is in, um, original condition from the 1960s or 1970s. 4) The apartment looks to have been renovated in the late 1980s/1990s and some light switch covers and outlets were dislodged. (I suspect that tourists have beaten the place up over the years.) 5) The slider to the balcony (which, despite it being up high, I did go out on once or twice) gets stuck in its tracks. 6) For some reason, there are two lockboxes at the apartment. That's confusing. 7) The neighborhood obviously caters to USA tourists with every chain restaurant available. The street is very busy. The markets and pharmacies in the area are often expensive to the point of price gouging *except* for the Walgreens just across the street. Since it's at the beach, plan on paying $22 USD for a burger or ceviche and almost the same for a cocktail. (Puerto Rico in general has become expensive.)

Apartment is on the street which is very loud all night. It's a loud, busy part of town. The pictures make it look much nicer. In reality, there is trash everywhere, something was wrong with the elevator, the apartment beds are very uncomfortable, the patio door was broken which makes it a fire hazard, the pool was unusable for some reason and the door guy acted like he was working CBGBs in 1978. And so many other things. NOT worth $200 at all!!!
