We had an amazing trip to Puntas and Rincón. Erica and Ryan were extremely responsive and communicative as we were there during Tropical Storm Ernesto. We had generator backup power that kept us running 95% of the time and though we didn’t lose water, we were glad to know there was a cistern. They told us where to avoid with flooding, helped with grocery/restaurant suggestions, and responded almost instantaneously when the generator went out. They relied hard to fix the hot water situation but we never quite figured that out. They sent the plumber out who got it temporarily working but they were going to have someone look at it again. The WiFi went down but that was not their fault, it was a system issue when a tree came down.
As far as the property, on a big hill so we didn’t have to deal with flooding, private but not remote, 10-15 minute walk downhill to the beach. Pool was amazing and great to jump into after walking back up the hill. A few shops and restaurants down the hill or a short car ride into Rincon. Sandy Beach at bottom of the hill was too rough for swimming while we were there so we went to the west side to Bald Eagle Beach by the marina. It is often ok though according to locals. Got lots of sea glass on Sandy Beach after the storm which was cool. Loved the outdoor patio and kitchen with the little lizards and frogs.
Location was good. Driving into Rincon was quick, El Pilon waterfall hike about 1.25 hours, Paguera Bio Bay a little over an hour. Loved it!!!
