room for improvement
The little room had the potential to be a nice place. The owner ordered us an uber, and was very nice. Very close to the beach. The mattress was awful. I woke up with a back ache. Also there was no hot water in the shower. Even in the caribbean, a cold shower sucks.

Worst Experience of the Trip, Stay AWAY!!. First let me start by saying that I do not know how this hotel has any positive ratings. We paid $140 per night which is a robbery when expecting a room like advertised. Original room we were checked in to was the size of a single bedroom. Maybe 3 feet space from the bed on each side and then a small bathroom, super tiny. Room not finished like advertised and zero nice tiles in the whole room or bathroom. That was not the worst of it. They called us to ask our arrival time, you would expect they would clean the room. But when entering the room we saw a lock of hair on the floor. Pointed it out to the manager he apologized. When we walked in to the bathroom, there was big cockroach in there, which I had to kill. We were ready to leave on the spot. The manager tried to show us a better room, we looked at two more and both of them were not finished like in the pictures advertised. This was late at night around 8pm, we decided to stay one night at the bigger room he showed us and requested a refund for the next two nights we would not be staying for. The manager talked to his boss and said that is fine. Let me say that staying even one night was a mistake. As we woke up with bed bug bites and on top of that the manager said in the morning that they would not be refunding our $280 for the two nights we will not be staying for. Please stay clear of this place and look elsewhere. The location is not great either, graffiti on the corner buil

Clean, Convenient, Comfortable with Great Service
The Mont Caribe was a short cab ride from the airport, and it was in a quiet section of Ocean Park. It was a short walk to a lovely beaches, and there were a many restaurants just a stroll away. We enjoyed the Puerto Rican culinary experience at Bebo's Cafe. Our room was comfortable in all respects. By far the most exceptional aspect of our staff was the incredibly warm and helpful service from Eric, who was the man on duty when we arrived at about 5:30 pm on a Saturday. He helped with our luggage, got us settled in, chatted about local music. When we asked about places to eat nearby, he not only advised us, he drove us to the restaurant!

Great Location!!! Ocean Park!
The Mont Caribe Guesthouse is in a very convenient location in Ocean Park, Puerto Rico. The Guesthouse staff had informed us of the effects of Hurricane Maria on the property and we were shocked to see how well they were able to rebuild/renovate and maintain a positive outlook after such a storm. The unit was a basic room with modern styling, and included Satellite TV, a room safe, and mini-fridge. WiFi was not the best while in the room, but worked perfect in the lobby and in front of the unit. The only complaint I have is the shower's water pressure, but this is very common in Puerto Rico (and USVI) as there are active environmental conservation efforts in place by many businesses and homeowners. We will be back!

Our Guesthouse stay before and after our cruise was a pleasant experience. The location would be a great place to spend more time. The close proximity to the beautiful beach is a big plus. There are many local (delicious) restaurants nearby (walking distance) in addition to a McDonalds and Walgreens. The staff was excellent and very attentive. We felt very safe walking around the area. Remember to tell your taxi driver the Guesthouse is in the Ocean Park area of San Juan. We would definitely stay here again!!

Nice boutique hotel - great staff
I was there shortly after Hurricane Maria and stayed here for a month. The staff did everything they could to make my stay as enjoyable as possible given that electricity had to be provided by generators. The rooms are a nice size with nice amenities like fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. The AC will chill your bones if you want it. Great location walking distance to some very nice restaurants and there is a 24 our Walgreens a block away. The beach is a 8 minute walk, and a very nice beach it is. I highly recommend Mont Caribe.

Roc, Chicago

In a local neighborhood, close to the beach.
Overall it was a decent stay. I enjoyed the stroll to the beach. The local restaurants were also great. I was expecting a hotel with the common amenities. This is more of a guesthouse/ hostel. I would stay again, after renovations. Pros- 5 minute walk from the beach, comfortable beds, in a local neighborhood, surrounded by places to eat. Easy to catch an Uber, most trips are under $10. Easy check in. 24 hour Walgreens on the next street. Quiet and it smelled good. Cons- doesn't offer wash cloths, in the middle of renovations, they do not have staff 24/7, no ice machine or vending machine. No central air, one window unit in bedroom. If you want maid service ($20) or fresh linen ($10) you pay per service.
