This was a beautiful place to stop at and enjoy the view. When we went there was a surf competition at Domes. We loved visiting this place and even had a sangria before we continued our trip. There were artisans and even and ice cream stand like the ones you would find at the beach.

Beautiful location with food and drinks! Descend to a surfers beach or casually watch the surf and sunset from the elevated perch.

Absolutely beautiful. The best location in PR for sunset lovers. This place is well thought. There is a walkway around the lighthouse and over the cliff with great views, no matter where you stand. Food and drinks are available at the restaurant or you can bring your own. Plenty of parking. Drone friendly. No fee. Access to the lighthouse not possible. No reservations necessary. Short walk from the parking to the lighthouse. Best sunsets ever!

Beautiful lighthouse and amazing views. Def worth the visit.

Wonderful Views and Experience. If you are visiting the West Side of Puerto Rico, you have to make a stop on each of the lighthouses of the West. But the most impressive of them all, is the Punta Higueras. The view from this place is spectacular, you can see the Mona Island from the place and also, you can enjoy the nature’s view and scenery around. There is also spots where you can enjoy with family and friends and have a good time while enjoying your surroundings. Very amazing place.

Great lookout point to enjoy some breathtaking views of the ocean. If you really want to indulge yourself visit for a sunset. There is food/drinks available and Domes beach is just a short walk away.

Puntas beach next to playa domes is absolutely gorgeous! Was about a 3-5 min walk down the beach and some light climbing over a few rocks to get to but was a very secret beautiful beach! Tons of landscape that’s pretty and the waves sound amazing. While walking down beach could see some tents in the tree line of some campers so seems like a great relaxing unofficial camping spot!

Beautiful lighthouse with beautiful views! I highly recommend coming here to see the sunset!

We enjoyed it a ton! And just incase you can’t see the video down below here is what we had to say! “Get ready for a journey through time and beauty at the Punta Higuera Lighthouse, just a quick 9 minute drive from Container Coquí. It's that perfect place to hang out and watch that amazing Rincón sunset. Grab a drink at the restaurant on site and stare out at the surfers riding the waves in Dome's Beach. There's no lighthouse quite like this one.”

Beautiful views, the visit is less about the lighthouse although it's an interesting relic. There were humpback whale breaches spotted from the boardwalk bar. A very easy and pleasant beach path with multiple access points. Wonderful way to spend a couple of hours

Spectacular spot to watch the sunset! We were on a tour which stopped here- it was truly an amazing sunset. Wish we had more time to explore. Some folks in my group also loved the ice cream being sold at the entrance to the deck of the lighthouse.

There are no tickets for this place it is free to go look at. You can not go in, but the scenery around there is beautiful, and the bar is nice, and they have good snack foods, but I hope you use venmo or cash.

The west coast of Puerto Rico never fails to show her beauty! Easy to find, plenty of parking space and gorgeous views!

Beautiful historical light house, and the ocean very is peaceful. While we were there we spotted two humpback whales in the water. 🐋 We watched the sunset on the horizon. It was a great way to spend the evening. There is also restrooms inside the park and a small cafe with a bar as well.

Nice iconic tourist spot. Free parking spots close by. One restaurant at location and public restrooms available. Lot of food trucks and small local stalls for shopping. Free entry and you can walk to Playa Maria beach.

Sadly this hotel is in need of major renovations. The rooms were clean and serviceable but EVERYTHING is OLD!!! The mattresses, pillows, the bathroom fixtures, the dressers. ll really need to be replaced if this hotel is going to maintain any level of high quality and good reviews. It has a wonderful location on a really nice beach so it should be able to be restored and renewed to its higher level of luxury. We first stayed here 19 years ago and it was in much better shape then. I hope they can bring it up to where it should be to warrant the high cost of the rooms, especially during holiday times. Als, while the bar restaurant is open, and there is breakfast onsite, the full restaurant is not functioning. They also need a shop of some kind to buy odds and ends and snacks.

Overall pretty good stay no issues. Hotel going through renovations but don’t worry it would not interfere with your vacation. Beach is pretty good, i recommend walk along for a little to the right and water gets much better. Service was ok, nothing to complain about but also nothing to rave. Room is newly renovated but very basic, bathroom door wouldn’t close all the way. Grounds well kept and pool and bar are great. You will spend very relaxing days there, plenty places to eat and drink around the area. No place to have a drink after 10pm on the grounds as everything closes early but you can walk 15 minutes to town. Also don’t miss the sunset, it’s unbelievable

I didn’t want to do this but, I think people need to know. Old furniture, broken doors and insects all over the room. We had spiders in the beds and cockroaches in the bathroom. The bedroom had a crazy smell like humidity. The lights in the bathroom where on and off by themselves and really poor costumer service, the worse, no additional clean sheets until next day and no additional pillows. Also, the air conditioner was really LOUD. Don’t fall for the pictures of the pools, everything else is really disappointing. Also, pools where really dirty. This hotel is to expensive for what it is!!! Don’t even waist your time.

I am never one to write a review but my experience was horrible. The staff was great at the property, but it was a nightmare when the fire alarm started to go off at 12 AM/midnight, and did not go off till 2 AM. And then started going off again at 6:30am. As someone who works in the Maintenance/property management field, I am just shocked how no one was able to turn off the fire alarm, or maybe not trained. I almost left the resort after two hours of nonstop fire alarms going off but where was I supposed to find a place at 1am? I called the front desk and they informed me that no one had the key. And that’s not the end of it from 6 to 7 AM. They started doing renovations at the bottom floor. I am not sure what is going on but anywhere I’ve worked just common courtesy, especially at a hotel you would expect at least construction to start around 8am. Someone needs to manage this place better and do better. I was going to recommend this place to my company from Florida to stay but with my experience I will not recommend this place.

Beautiful property. Beach was amazing, and the coffee was strong and delicious! Staff was very friendly. Good food in restaurant too. Huge portions! The beach and laid back atmosphere is really what made this a great place. Our room was right next to the construction, so that was harsh every morning. They start working at 7am!

Definitely one of the worst hotels I've ever been in. They claim that they have a restaurant but they don't tell you it's only open for 6 hours on Saturday and 6 hours on sunday. So if you don't have a car to drive elsewhere for breakfast dinner or lunch, forget it you go hungry. The room has furniture that is so antiquated and scuffed up looks like they bought it at a used furniture sale. There's no manager there during the day. The only one there is the person who checks you in and if you have a problem good luck. Even the sales department can't help. They direct you back to the person at the front desk. At night, the security person, I'm told cleans up around the hotel at night. This is definitely a place to avoid and not that be recommended either for business or for personal family vacation time.

Such a beautiful resort! Infinity pool to the ocean with swim up bar. Staff was so super nice and hospitable. Great location, clean rooms with a spectacular view! Just, WOW!

This hotel is approximately 20 years old. Good location. Accessible parking. Hotel appears to be under renovation. Short on staff. The room was super clean and it had a balcony with a great view. Room was spacious. The floor had tiles. AC didn't work properly. Bathroom could use renovation. Hotel is right by the beach with a beautiful pool next to an outdoor bar. Restaurant is closed. If you want food, you can get some by the bar at the pool. Quality of service at the bar depends on who you are and who is serving you. Quality of food was better than expected and their prices were reasonable. Review is based on personal experience and items consumed during our visit.

I am on vacation with a friend of mine and we are having a blast...the pool is absolutely beautiful with a swim up bar...the ocean is steps away...the rooms are nice and clean and they come to clean your room everyday and replenish your supplies...this hotel is near the best bakery that we walked to every day and so near everything we have been to...everyone here is so nice!! One of my favorite vacations ever!

This was not my first visit to this lovely hotel. It's as beautiful as I remember. Room was clean and tidy and we had a beautiful beach view. Breakfast at the Cafe was delicious, though the service could have been better. There were people who arrived after we did and had food and drinks decorated with garnishes and such, brought to them before us. To my surprise our mimosas did not have garnishes like everyone else's did lol. No bad blood though. The pool and beach area were really nice and we had the best time! Definitely recommend and we will be coming back.

So a solid three star hotel. Pool is gorgeous, although drinks are weak. There is next to NO SHADE other than maybe 4 umbrellas which are hoarded like gold mines. The beach chairs have zero umbrellas. This makes enjoying sitting out at the pool or the beach near impossible unless you can tolerate the blazing skin starting heat of the direct sun.

The food was good, service is dreadfully slow , cups and cutlery and are stained. Champagne glasses need to be replaced especially when they charge 38 for an 10 dollar cava. The servers are lazy and they hang around the empty bar 20 min before serving you a drink, even water, the place is beautiful but the lack of properly trained and dressed servers is sad and unprofessional, not train for american or european tourist...lets get these people train...Management need to get involved... I give it a sad 2.5 for the view

Nice hotel. The room had a great view. Pool is simple yet great for kids. Bathroom needs to be remodeled, but it was clean and spacious. There are rooms that are under remodeling, but didn’t heard any noise. Overall, I would stay again.

Overall we had a pleasant stay. The rooms were clean but are starting to show their age but it appears there are some renovations going on. Pool was large with plenty of lounges and umbrellas. Poolside cafe food was ok, I think it depended who was cooking. One night the food was great another night not so good. The staff was very accommodating and let's give a shout out to Aaron at the bar, he certainly knows customer service

Great location, right on the beach. There is a pool and small restaurant for breakfast/ lunch. The location is great, conveniently located by shops and restaurants. The rooms are dated. If you have a poolside there is a huge humidity problem. My room floors were always wet and no we did not spill water and we did dry off properly. The solution keep your room cooler? I'm not a huge fan of freezing ac temps and also not sure if that would have completely solved my problem. Service is ok, staff is friendly but woke up to the messy pool area. Leftover drinks and towels from the night before. Yes of course people should pick up after themselves, but even the garbage cans were overflowing. They did pick it up once it was brought to their attention. Check in and check out can be a bit time consuming, with only one person at the desk. Parking is included which is nice because we rented a car and no additional charges there. Each room does have a mini fridge and coffee maker and u get 2 sets of pool towels. The pool is a decent size and if you want beach access, this is the place to stay at.

We had a wonderful time! If you are looking for a reasonably priced get away with excellent service this is your place. If the staff didn’t have an answer for you they looked it up with a smile. Everything was no problem. The food is big portions. We discovered the suites which were magnificent. Aaron is top notch at the pool bar. He is friendly, attentive & guest focused. This hotel is lucky to have him! He most definitely needs a promotion 😊

The resort location is really great and service is good. All the staff is very cooperative and always ready to help. The pool and the beach side area is well maintained. Rooms are good and spacious too but there is too much humidity in the room because it's next to the sea. But the humidity in the room is so much that every morning we had to mop first.

It was not as nice as the pictures online. The floors were wet with condensation all over it and they had a dehumidifier in the room but it didn’t help. I feel like I’ve been in a better hotel for less money. The beach was beautiful which made it worth it.

Beautiful place to snorkel and relax at the beach. So pretty at sunset ! We saw a lot of pretty fish, just be careful and wear water shoes too when snorkeling and don’t get too close to the coral reef or the waves could push you into it and end up with scratches on your body.

This beach is beautiful but rocky at the waters edge. There are trees along the beach for shade. There are coral reefs here, so there is plenty of sea life to see while snorkling or diving. I recommend keeping your shoes on while on this beach and in the water. There are sea urchines everywhere. Parking is limited close to the beach, but people park all along the side of the road with no issue.

This is the most beautiful beach in Rincon! But not the best for swimming. I would recommend spending more time at Sandy Beach then Steps Beach, but you still have to check out this beach! There is great snorkeling because of the coral reef off the shore! In conclusion, I would say that Steps Beach is the most picturesque beach in Rincon, and a must see attraction!

Excellent beach for snorkeling. You can easily get a shaded spot. The lip of the island is rock, so there is not much sand to stir up. The coral is amazing and close to the shore. Ton of fish with vibrant colors. Parking is limited. I added a video of the street parking and the small strip to get to the beach. Great for families. Nice and quiet.

Some comments might have already said this but this is not an easy beach for beginners. It is certainly great for snorkelling but getting into the water is hard with all the rocks, seaweed and sea urchins. Some parts of the water is really shallow and you come really close to the amazing elkhorn corals, which sounds great but also brings the risk of hitting them when you are swimming. Just look for a good entry point and get out from there. If you are not comfortable at swimming, you don’t have to be there even though it is great for snorkelling. Also, the sunset is amazing.

It’s a nice little beach with decent snorkeling since there is a coral reef right off the beach. When walking into the water, it will be quite slippery - that is coral reef you are walking on, so try to start swimming as soon as you can. I went about 30-40m in, following the reef, saw a lot of fishes throughout. The swing over the water makes for some nice photos too.

Fantastic snorkeling. The best spots are further out into the waves beyond the stone steps so make sure you’re a confident swimmer or have proper flotation devices. We saw dozens of types of tropical fish and several different types of coral - some were massive! Use reef safe sunscreen, don’t touch the coral, and enjoy the ocean scenery!

A great beach that is easy to find and worth visiting. It wasn't too crowded when we were there and there was a lot of space available in the shade. The only gripe I have is there is not a lot of parking and cars parking along the access road make it effectively one lane with some places having a steep gutter and little room to turn around. Other than that, I would recommend it and go again.

Fantastic snorkeling!! The shallows are super rocky and lots of sea urchins but there is a smoother entrance about 50ft south of the steps. About 5-10ft into the water, the rockier part drops off quick and opens up more. We snorkeled and swam around tons of coral, rock and fish! Pretty private beach, no facilities but about 10 min walk from Marina.

Beautiful little beach with minimal parking. Snorkel just 10 feet from the beach and see tropical fish and corals! Great place for families, and photo ops with the steps. Highly recommend to stop here and spend the day!

Great place to catch the sunset. It’s quite rocky with sharp sea urchins along the shores, so wear shoes. Not ideal for beginners or little kids, but a great spot if you want to see marine life. Be mindful of where you’re stepping. Parking is extremely limited so many people park along the street and walk in.

Absolutely loved this beach for snorkeling! It's definitely popular and parking is not only limited but super tight, but it's worth it if you're coming here to snorkel (I recommend coming early, like before 11a for the best vibes). We saw so many beautiful types of coral and fish, including barracuda. We could have stayed for hours.

Fantastic beach hangout spot and snorkeling!!! Make sure you go in/out of the water by the main beach area, very rocky otherwise! Super quiet and peaceful!

Steps is another one of those beaches that holds a special place in my heart in PR. It is one of the most beautiful nature reserves in Rincón that I've been to. This is a good place to go snorkeling if you want to see A LOT of life under the water. I found an entire Elkhorn coral garden underneath swarmed with surgeonfish, angelfish, goat fish etc. As a safety precaution, pay attention to where you enter because there are parts that I would advise you don't walk into from the shore. There are hundreds if not thousands of sea urchins (black spiky looking fellows) embedded on the rockier substrate and if you step on one, you will have a very bad day. This place is more for exploring than say a typical beach swim. It's not too far from other beaches that are within walking distance too. Parking is one narrow road that people park on the side of. Can be difficult to get in or out.

I think its one if the best beaches in Rincon for sure, every corner is gorgeous, every corner is beautiful, it’s a very protected area, please being your garbage bags and don’t litter. Very beautiful for photo ops, amazing to snorkel and see the fishies, occasional turtles, occasional jelly fishies, corals and everything else. There are some coves that are safe for the babies and the dogs. Amazing place.

Low key beautiful surfer beach. Mostly meant for surfing but you won't be chased out for dipping your toe in the water. Soft grainy sand. Plenty of shady areas for those that don't want to be in the sun. No on beach vendors but there is a snack stand at the lighthouse walk. Close to other sites; Plenty to do for a day trip.

Great area Whales. Fish. Snorkeling. Surfing. Swimming. Coconuts.

Legendary Surfing Spot. Don’t litter please and be respectful.

Nice and quiet beach!

Excellent views and super nice beach specially for surfing. It is a quiet and relax area of Rincon with plenty to see.

Definitely should put that on your must visit list when you come to Rincon and Puerto Rico in general! The pictures do not do it justice!

Lovely beach where you can find a big waves, during my visit a lot of surfers rode on them 🌊

Well, worth the trip, amazing ⛱️ beach right out of a sci fi movie.

My new Favorite beach in PR, the locals were actually cool with me here. Be respectful and get respect back!

Such a nice view, just sitting, enjoying the nature and watching surfers 🏄‍♀️

Good beach but no public restrooms. Close to light house. Not much waves. Parking is little tricky but you can get on road sides. Lot of shops and fresh fruits shop.

I love going to Sandy Beach. I got married there in 2011. The ocean there is great for any kind of surfing. It’s kept clean. Had fantastic views.

One of my all time favorite Beaches! Very beautiful and natural. It's also not crowded at all with people.

Great beach to watch surfers, and waves. Plus Tamboo was just a couple of doors down from us

Beautiful, long stretch of sandy beach in a really cool neighborhood of Rincon. Palm trees on the west end for shade, a coffee/smoothie place across the street, and a restaurant on the beach. On the east end there are tide pools and a good area to find sea glass. Perfect for swimming as long as the surf isn’t too big. Great place to watch the sunset.

Good for swim and body boarding. Nice beach for families and kids. Limited parking spot at entry. can park at roads and neighborhoods. No public restrooms close by.

Lower traffic beach with stunning vistas, beachy bars and tourist rentals. It stands out as special even in a paradise like Puerto Rico.

Beautiful place with lots of palm trees. The water was pretty rough when we went so we didn’t swim but laying out was nice. I recommend taking a walk along the shore, I found some pretty seashells.

Beautiful. Lots of waves. Gotta be careful because water is rough. Not a lot of parking in the area. Police give tickets if parked in main road. Overalls had a nice time.

Seems like a touristy spot. Difficult drive for those that don’t like tight roads and hills. Security does help you park in the parking lot which is helpful. The view from the restaurant is great. The food is good, we recommend the French toast. Bacon was a great side. Great variety of mimosas. Can buy a pool pass if you’d like. Pricier than the local spots for similar food.

I had breakfast there. It was rainy when I got there, so I couldn't fully enjoy the view. It would be so much better if the weather is nice. The food was ok, nothing special. It's just a typical western style breakfast you can expect, which is why I took out one star.

After a somewhat nerve racking ride up, we were delighted by the view, food, and service—totally worth it! I ordered the Green eggs Benedict, and my daughter ordered the Benny Hill. We also shared a side of caramelized bananas— a must try. Our waiter was very friendly and the whole place had a great vibe. Don’t miss the mint passion fruit tea!

Exceeded expectations. So tranquil. Great views. Thoughtfully decorated rooms. The pool is incredible and never crowded. The staff went out of their way to provide beach chairs for my fiancé and I. The restaurants is one of the best breakfast / lunches in town. Highly recommend staying here.

We were coming from just west of San Juan, and were initially deliberating if making the trip to the English Rose was worth it or not. It was about an hour and a half drive. That said... it totally was! The food was good, but the ambiance was the real winner. Amazing deck with a great view, the staff was super friendly, and they all spoke English. Additionally, they have an AWESOME pool. We were able to use it even though we weren't staying there, and we hung-out for several hours swimming and reading. Felt luxuriously wonderful. Totally recommend as it was a unique and great way to spend a morning/afternoon. Note: the drive up to The English Rose is a bit of a hike :)

Stayed here as guests and ate breakfast at the restaurant both days. Highly recommend both! Rooms were comfortable and quiet with gorgeous views. Pool is fantastic place to relax after a day snorkeling at the beach. Everything at breakfast was delicious. Very friendly staff. Thanks for a great stay! Note: location not walkable (fine for us as we liked the remote location). May be a challenge for 2WD cars if it's raining depending on how you drive in. Some hills quite steep.

This review is only for the restaurant* Location gets 3 stars because yes it’s gorgeous but anyone can have a nice view in the west. The parking isn’t well planned. I think this place might have been good years ago. We waited quite a while for our reservation. For which we emailed much in advance for a nicer table and got- the worst- next to the bathroom. All these things are nothing compared to how bad the food was. I got an inedible avocado toast (avocado is tricky so if it’s not good today just say that and don’t serve it) when the server noticed I didn’t eat it all they asked if I was done- not- was everything ok?) they were busy but the staff paid No attention to detail whatsoever. The rest of our food was sad - the last pic is of a shrimp Benedict with two little shrimps on the side. It’s laughable. The pancakes were the best out of all the meal and they were average. It’s pancakes. The only thing actually good was the freshly squeezed juice for the mimosa.

Great view, food & service. Went there for brunch & could have stayed all afternoon enjoying this place & talking to their employees who kept coming to greet my dog "Happy" & say hi to us. Amazing group of people that work there. All super friendly & genuinely caring. Highly recommended!

Finding the restaurant was a bit harrowing as you travel up, and I do mean up, some narrow and steep streets but it’s worth it. The view alone could be worth five stars. The food was wonderful. My husband had the Avocado toast, I had the Eggs Benedict with perfectly poached eggs and we both had coffee that was really delicious. I also had a rosemary lemonade that was the perfect beverage on a warm sunny morning. Service was great and the staff was friendly and attentive. Reservations are highly recommended.

Amazing food , coffee and drinks along with a beautiful view. Restaurant sits on top of a hill so captured a birds eye view. Their house made jam is *chefs kiss* delicious. One thing I will say is service should be improved to be inclusive to all races not just gringos. This is definitely something I feel Puerto Rico needs to work on as a collective. Other than that, I highly recommend!

Spectacular!! The views, the staff, the room, the food….all excellent! The rooms beautiful, the views from the room and the restaurant are breath taking. The staff of the apts are super responsive. But the staff at rest are something else, sweet, attentive, fun, pay attention to detail, love them all. Must try the surf and turf omelette, the french toast and the home made jelly! 😋😛 The one and only thing thing that needs improvement and I think they can work on it, is the water pressure on the showers, very very low. But for sure will stay at the English rose EVERY-TIME I go to the west coast! Thank for a memorable 3 days! 🥰

This place was just an absolute home run. Absolutely incredible location. Gorgeous views. Our room had such great little details…. Make up removal towels, dehumidifier, basket for your sandals. It was just gorgeous. Very intimate, we felt we were the only ones there. Staff was very attentive, sent texts, made sure we got in ok. We are 2x at the restaurant and it was amazing. …. 5 min drive to the beach!

Came for brunch - amazing views and great selection of food. Was very busy so recommend calling ahead for a reservation. Mimosa flights were great bang for your buck and we even spilled some of ours and waiter gave us more without being asked. Pulled pork Benedict was a favorite at our table

Stunning views and the best brunch I ate in PR! The turkey croissandwich was made with delicious pulled turkey meat. You can order half sizes of certain meals like the eggs benedict - definitely try the pulled pork version! Cocktails are tasty. The mimosa sampler is delicious and a great way to try different flavors (like strawberry lemonade, ginger lemonade, passion fruit, etc). The sampler sizes are full-sized too, so you definitely get your money’s worth. Call ahead for a reservation because the restaurant fills up quickly.

We honestly couldn’t recommend a stay at the English rose enough! My husband and I decided to celebrate a portion of our honeymoon here and we are so glad we did. We had booked a room on the second floor to fully enjoy the view but for personal reasons needed to switch rooms. The management was so lovely and didn’t hesitate to be generous and accommodating to us. We can’t even begin to fully express how much this kind gesture meant to my husband and I as well as how it took our special trip to the next level. Not only is this property so beautiful and conveniently located (about 10 minutes or less to multiple beaches/ restaurants/ shops) but the staff is so warm and kind. We felt so cared for and enjoyed every bite of food, sunrise/ sunset, dip in the pool, and even playing with the pets of the staff/property. It was a dream stay for us. We will be referring all of our friends and family here! We recommend the Rose or Coqui rooms for an even further elevated stay!

The English Rose is a good choice for those looking for a quiet getaway in a place that is both off-the-beaten-path and centralized in Rincon, Puerto Rico. Located on a mountain, driving there requires going some steep hills and around some deep potholes. Once there, the view of the mountains and distant ocean is panoramic and picturesque.

An adventurous road takes you to The English Rose restaurant. I love to sit on the deck and admire the ocean while enjoying a meal. Ask what is recommended to eat and order that.

We had breakfast at the restaurant and it was phenomenal. The amazing views complimented the delicious food. Would highly recommend that you make a point to have a meal here while in Rincon.

Such a laid back and chill man, makes great food, is very hospitable and friendly, and all around great vibe. I also got some beautiful handmade locally earrings that I wear daily!! Inspiring story too. Thank you, Cole, for being you !!!

I absolutely love Jack’s Shack! The surfing atmosphere is intoxicating, the food is great, and the service is impeccable! If you are at Sand Beach, make sure to get some great food here!

Me and my girlfriend got a fish burrito and tacos and they were so good. If you’re by sandy’s beach and looking for a breakfast/lunch spot come here because everything is great. The staff and service is quick. I’d give them a 6/5 if could. Perfect location across from pools beach.

Great food. We had the chicken quesadillas and grilled fish tacos, and for the money they were fantastic. Pic of the menu shows the prices as of June 2022. Plenty of parking as well, which you’ll find is a challenge in lots of spots around Rincon.

This was my little slice of breakfast taco heaven while in Rincon! Though we had options to eat at other places, I didn't want to go anywhere else because their breakfast tacos were the absolute best I've ever had. They even get some of the cheese on the bottom of the tortilla and it gets melty and crispy which takes the taco up another level. So good! Try the juice! They have a few options each day that change daily. I had the watermelon one morning and it was really refreshing. Super convenient location, right across from Sandy Beach. Prices are reasonable too.

Chilled laid back great food served and cooked from a very chilled fun staff, all are welcome and will enjoy. The food is simple yet very tasty and preferred fresh to order. They accept cash or Venmo only just a heads up! Love the vibe and the food! 6 stars

Jack’s Shack is always our first stop each and every visit. The location is unmatched, the food is as fresh as it gets and everyone is always so kind and instantly put a smile on your face! I love the breakfast tacos and watermelon juice. Definitely a must visit on your trip to the area!

Cute little place right off Sandy beach with breakfast and lunch options. I ordered the fish tacos and they were fantastic!

such a great place! both of the owners were wonderful and the food was great. i ate a breakfast burrito and it’s one of the best i’ve had. also got watermelon and passion fruit juice which was amazing; very refreshing.

Our favorite spot to visit in RINCON! Wonderful positive vibes with their staff, gorgeous view of Pools beach, delicious fresh food, easy parking, laid back atmosphere, a MUST for anyone visiting or staying nearby.

Jack’s Shack was amazing! We stayed in Rincon for 5 days and went there every day for iced coffee and breakfast tacos or lunch. The food is fantastic and fresh. The owner was really nice, as well as all the employees we interacted with, and always offered fresh fruit. Highly recommend going if you’re in the area! The breakfast tacos are fire.

FYI: This is under different ownership than reviews prior to a couple years ago. We don’t have anything but rave reviews for this charming breakfast/lunch spot. If anything, we wish they were open 7 days a week😉 Once we visited this little slice of heaven, we chose to revisit for every available meal. The owners are kind and friendly and the food is (chef’s kiss) delicious. The hot sauce is small batch and since I can’t handle spice, I opted for the mild. It has a pineapple base and is a perfect complement for all the things. We’ve had power bowls, yogurt bowls, tacos and burritos, breakfast and lunch. It was all amazing!! We took it to go and ate it on the beach one day. And the fresh juice… get it! We had never had fresh guanábana or acerola juice but we loved it all. We had fish tacos made with rainbow runner caught fresh in Rincon. So good!! Did I mention the cookies? Get those too! They’ll sell out! Thank you for working so hard to create this great little spot for your customers! Cheers!

They served mediocre to poor quality food. I do not care about a chill vibe. I wanted a taco with actual fish in it. If you go to Jack's shack, then do drink the juice, which is good. I thought Jack's Shack was VERY expensive considering the meager quantity of fish served in the taco. After reading all the rave reviews, we were sorely dissapointed. Honestly; look at my other reviews. I hardly ever give a negative one!

We had a lovely surf trip last February with friends , which was walking distance from jacks. Food was fresh and portions were perfect. Staff was friendly, and the atmosphere is so laid back and clean . Perfect place to have lunch after a long morning at the beach . Can’t wait to be back!

Super friendly and good vibes. Amazing spot to grab bfast before surfing/beaching. Can see the water from your stool! The bfast tacos were delicious AND affordable and loved the roosters walking around.

We came across this place because it had a beautiful view. We really enjoyed our appetizers, the shrimp, tuna poke, and poached pears. However when it came to entrees the daily special of yellowfin and fried rice was tasteless, and rice was overcooked. we also ordered the NY strip which was actually a tenderloin cut and came out well done when ordered medium. We understand that it was busy and seemed understaffed, but server was slow. However the food runner was great and made up for her. For the price we were paying we expected higher quality food and service. The biggest failure was the fact that our credit card WAS CHARGED THE WRONG AMOUNT. I was shocked to find an extra $30 charge on my card than I approved. I took a picture of the receipt before I left. As a server myself, I would NEVER add extra to a bill no matter how I thought my service was. This is unprofessional and unacceptable.

Wow! What a great experience! My partner and I shared a skirt steak special, and it may have been the most flavorful steak I've ever had! The back patio was a beautiful place to watch the sun set, and the staff were courteous and joyful. Be sure to get there early! (opens at 5) It fills up quick! $60/person with drinks and dessert

Great by the beach ocean views restaurant. Quick service and great food. The drinks according to my wife are the best she has ever had. The curry fish was delicious

Top shelf experience. Food, service and setting were exceptional. Get there for sunset for sure Very unassuming from the outside entrance and beautiful inside You won’t be disappointed

Amazing food! We got the Cerdo and the Burger! Both were delicious. Really enjoyed the location overlooking the sunset on the beach! Service was also great. Tip: get there right at the open to get a good seat for the sunset

My favorite places during our stay in Rincon. We had drinks at sunset here every single night. I was really shocked by the negative reviews on here because we had nothing but positive experiences with the staff. Drinks are phenomenal, well priced $8-11 depending on what you get. Food was awesome. Favorite was their tuna poke & desserts. Solid place if you want to do tapas and drinks.

The view is great here! The food was good as well. Nice ambiance as well.

O.M.G. it was amazing!! The steak was on point...the mash potatoes was delicious... curry fish deli deli.... the lamb...to die for... the service!!! A.m.a.z.i.n.g At last...somewhere I can find something that's not fried!!! The staff!!! Love them!... will go back!

One of the best meals I've had anywhere, and probably the best restaurant on the island. Everything was reasonably priced, including their cocktails and service was spot on. I see a lot of drama in the comments, about tap water not being served, people being singled out for being American or Local or for being too expensive because it's $2 for a side of rice. Doesn't make a lot of sense. In any case, if you're in Rincon, do yourself a favor and stop by this place, you won't regret it.

Love this place. This was our 2nd time back. We found this restaurant about 4 yrs ago on trip in P.R. and it was the best dining experience of that trip. On our recent trip to P.R. we drove 1 hour just to eat dinner here for our anniversary. It did not disappoint. The food is great, the drinks are great, and view can't be beat. Great place to come for a "date night". Come for a cocktail at sunset and stay for dinner. It's a little pricey but totally worth it for the experience and quality.

We arrived at the restaurant around 7.00pm. The place was busy and we were told there was a 45 minute wait. We were invited to have a drink at the bar while we waited. The bar vibe was great with a mix of regulars and tourists. The cocktails were excellent. At 7.30 we were called to our table. The menu does not have a huge number of items, which in my experience is a good thing. Service was fast and cheerful and the setting is great (but it was dark by the time we were seated so I did not see the beach). I can highly recommend the prawn starter and the the fish curry and pork dish for mains. These all had fresh and delicious flavors. Clearly someone in the kitchen knows what they are doing. Highly, recommend it, you may wish to arrive early to avoid the crowds and see the sun set.

Great local flavors, Impeccable service with a smile, excellent menu! We had wonderful food and drinks!! A must if in Rincon!! Thanks for a wonderful meal!!!

I do not recommend this place. Server one: she cannot recommend to drink tap water but we insisted to have tap water. Second waitress (when we asked for extra water): they cannot serve tap water, have to purchase water bottle. I ordered veggie curry but she charged me $32 for just veggie curry and the $32 same price for fish curry from which they remove fish and make veggie as per their suggestions. Good view and location. Recommend for drink and view but never for dine in. Rude servers and service but expect tip above 18%.

as the last night my family and i spent in puerto rico, this was the best place to end on. the food was so good and the drinks were perfectly balanced ratio wise. the portions were big for the price. there were absolutely no complains for anything we had. also has a nice little beach area to walk the sunset. HIGHLY recommend

Came for sunset dinner and enjoyed the views. Cocktails were simple, I tried the spicy passionfruit margarita and the Paloma. Both were just ok. For dinner, I had the citrus beet salad and fried shrimp. Come for the shrimp and views.

We stayed in a room for 3 nights right by the pool/restaurant. The pool is unusable, you're basically swimming in a restaurant with people trying to eat right next to you which makes it very uncomfortable. Parking is horrible. You share the parking lot with the hotel, restaurant patrons, and a yoga studio. You're lucky if you even get a spot in the lot. We did eat breakfast there one day and it was good.

We sat at 3 different tables wanting to accommodate their lack of service staff and were never acknowledged or waited on. In the end we settled for the dreadful bar stool eating experience. The food and drinks were as mediocre as the service and the price point off the charts. We won’t refer or return. It’s high season by the way. Good luck staffing talent. You need it.

A cozy place with the friendliest staff. Very comfortable and spacious room. Super clean. The restaurant was very organized in the distribution of costumers, particularly at the Sunday Brunch hours. Great food, generous portions!

From the gorgeous pictures and description of your facility we were expecting a hidden jewel. Sadly, that is not what we experienced. First, we arrived very late. There were no directions on how to get to our room, just that it was by the pool. We did not know to open the doors and were fearful of waking other guests or going into a prohibited area. Perhaps for future guests, a map and how to actually find the reserved room will be included. Second, for the price point for a two queen ocean view room, it was disappointing. There was no place to sit and enjoy the view from the room—it was either sit in a wooden desk chair or on the bed. There were also no chairs outside, besides lounge chairs or restaurant chairs to just enjoy the view. Next, for the price point, hearing the kitchen staff bang pots and pans, sing at the top of their lungs, play music at full volume, and empty various containers outside our windows and next to our room from 7 am until past 10 pm definitely made the room feel as if it were in the middle of a strip mall and not on the beach. Finally, for the price point, a more peaceful and resort like feeling was anticipated and not delivered. The view, pool, and Susan from the staff certainly made our stay as pleasant as it was, although it was not at all what we had envisioned based on your website’s pictures and description.

We had a wonderful visit! The hotel is beautiful and the staff were all lovely and beyond helpful. This was a great place for our group and we’ve already booked our room for next year. It is a bit rustic and remote but this is what we enjoy.

Casa Isleña is paradise. We are truly blessed to stay every year. Love the staff, the food and most important, the hospitality. We had an Easter getaway and it was wonderful. They had different activities such as massage for the guests, an Easter egg hunt for the kids and live music every night. We already made reservations for next year. Thanks you for making our getaway unforgettable. God bless!

Great ocean side spot with delicious brunch, lunch and dinner. Wear your swimsuit for a dip in the pool while you dine. Cocktails are delicious and vibe is ideal. Watch surfers from your table and don't forget to try the churrasco or fish pinchos!

I only had breakfast here, but loved the location right on the beach. Great potatoes with breakfast. I wished I would have looked into staying here instead of where I stayed up the street.

We stumbled upon the restaurant while hanging on Sandy Beach and the cocktails were amazing and the food really so good. The salads were delish but the pancakes were AMAZING!!! Love it. Cool vibe too. Great music great service.

Casa Isleña is our home away from home. The room is clean, comfortable and well appointed. The staff is super nice and attentive. The food at the restaurant was delicious and waiters had the right balance of checking up on us and letting us enjoy the location. I surfed up front, walked during the morning on the beach and even spotted sea turtles. The music at night was spot on for this paradise location and the people that visit all have the same relaxing and happy vibe. thanks and we will see you again soon.

The hotel is beautiful and the beachfront location is amazing. (The beach directly in front of the hotel is a bit rocky, but the walk down to Sandy Beach is only 2-3 minutes.) We loved having brunch and dinner on the patio with the pool on one side and the ocean on the other. The food is delicious, the service is excellent, the setting is gorgeous. Live music on our first night was a bonus!

The hotel design is pretty and has beautiful beach views. However, the room was located in an area where many people pass and we had to keep the curtain closed for privacy which meant no natural light. We were close to the kitchen so there was a lot of noise from the staff since early in the morning. Although very pretty, it is not a peaceful hotel. The music is very loud until about 10:30pm because of the restaurant right next to the pool / front facing rooms. We were able to sleep because the power went out twice. The food is good at the restaurant but expensive. If you are looking for a hotel with a great party vibe and friendly staff this place works. If you want somewhere peaceful close to a swimable beach I would find another hotel.

Loved every minute here. We had a big room with an amazing view. Very comfortable bed & pillows and brunch was delicious. Great service. Sweet staff. Can’t wait to go back next year.

If you want a party place, this is a good option for you. I was traveling with a friend on a surf trip and we did not want a party place. We wanted a quiet place with good food where we could chill, get up early and surf every day. This was the wrong place for us. The hotel itself is beautiful and right on the beach. We booked an ocean view queen room, but it’s actually more of a pool and restaurant view. We weren’t informed that there would be live music playing 8 ft from the door of our room every single night. The music was so loud we couldn’t hear ourselves think. On Sunday, we returned from surfing to a full on Daytona Beach style party right outside of our door, complete with a dj announcing that he was already drunk at noon. The party lasted all day. After that we asked to be moved to a room at the back, which was much bigger and quieter, if not quite quiet. The food was kind if hit and miss and I think depended on the kitchen staff on that given day snd how busy they were. On Sunday (party day) it was burned. Other days it was great, though for some reason the owners decided to take all the fruit off the menu. They only open at 8, which is a touch late for people who surf and having coffee available before then would have been appreciated. The wait staff was nice. Overall Casa Isleña was just not what we were looking for. If you want a nice place on the beach, you love to party and don’t intend to get up early, this place could be great for you. It just wasn’t for us.

Great small hotel with an outdoor restaurant overlooking the beach and around the pool. Food was excellent and great atmosphere, with the exception of a drunk guy making big splashes in the pool. Eventually he was asked to leave.

We had a fantastic two night stay at Casa Isleña. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the location is amazing...just a few steps from they beautiful beach. The food was also exceptional. Our room was clean and a little small, but with such an amazing beach nearby, you won't spend much time in the room.

Casa Islena is by far my favorite restaurant in Rincon! I have been multiple times in my visits to Puerto Rico and am always blown away by the amazing food, service and view! I recently got married in Rincon and we had our rehearsal dinner at Casa Islena with 25 of our closet family and friends and it was everything we could have hoped for and more. I worked with Chris, who planned our event and was wonderful to work with. Every detail turned out perfectly for our dinner! We had a long table, family style meal, overlooking the most spectacular sunset accompanied by live music. The table was decorated beautifully with local flowers. Chris helped us pick from an amazing menu including appetizers, (ceviche and chicken skewers), dinner (short ribs and tuna along with roasted potatoes and a delicious kale salad) and desert (a collection of brownies and churros). Our guests raved about the food and service saying it was the best meal they had on the island. I am so grateful that Casa Islena was able to host such a special day for us! I would HIGHLY recommend the brunch, lunch and dinner here as well! Some of our guests stayed in the rooms at Casa Islena and said they had wonderful service too. 5 star review from me! I will absolutely be back!

Casa Islena is an absolute treat located just above the waves of Sandy Beach. The atmosphere by the poolside bar and restaurant is ideal for any occasion. They often have live music which only adds to the ambience. Food is fantastic and the spot is quite family friendly.

A wonderful stay on a beautiful property. Having breakfast at the pool so near the ocean was such an enjoyable experience. My wife and I genuinely had the best time here.

The hotel, beach and pool were great. The kids loved it. Food was excellent, as well as the service from all the staff. Fresh seafood and great drinks. Thanks to Katirina for your excellent service and friendly smile. Will definitely be returning soon!

Loved my recent stay here (older female traveling solo). The beach the property is on is fabulous & you can hear the waves lapping day & nite. My room was very clean, simple with great ac. My room though lacked towel racks, no problem for just one person but probably more of an issue if 2 shared the room. The welcome & staff were very warm & really care about their guests. Eager to return!

Amazing brunch there! Visiting PR spontaneously and went to this place due to a friend recommending it. Food was incredible! Highly recommended the French toast and the grilled cheese! We went on St Patty’s day so wait was expected to be long but we got our drinks and food surprisingly fast. We of course took advantage of pool and beach access! Would be coming again!

We spent 8 nights at Casa Islena. The location was the best - views were spectacular. Great spot for surfers and you could hear the roaring ocean through the night. The area was quite safe. We were able to walk around the neighborhood to other restaurants and bars, at night, with no issue. The restaurant was amazing. We ate at least one meal daily at the restaurant, sometimes two - and each meal was perfect. Service in hotel and restaurant was outstanding and accommodating. The rooms were very clean and a good size. My only complaint was the beds. They were very uncomfortable. However, we did see that they were bringing new mattresses in other rooms, so maybe they are replacing the mattresses. All in all, if I have the opportunity, I wouldn't hesitate on returning to Casa Islena.

The best place ever! We had our wedding here recently and it was perfect. Hotel rooms are so clean and beds were comfortable. The staff was friendly and attentive, food is delicious. Our guests raved, saying it was the “best wedding food they’ve ever experienced.” Our family loved their week stay at Casa Isleña and so did we!

Friendly staff, clean rooms. The restaurant has a good selection- we had dinner and breakfast there and both my meals were delicious. Our room was right off the pool so we were just a few steps from a gorgeous beach. Be aware if there is live entertainment at the pool, t can be very loud.

This hotel is absolutely beautiful. If your looking for a nice romantic atmosphere- this is where you need to be. Rooms were clean and pretty. Only suggestion I could make was menu was a bit disappointing. Felt More like bar food then a fancy menu to match the hotel. We would absolutely stay here again!

Phenomenal place to stay while in Rincon PR. The food, hotel and service is next level. You don’t need anything else, you have the pool, beach food and bar all in one spot, the staff will make you feel so welcome and have you coming back. I could not recommend a better spot in the area!

Great atmosphere lue was a perfect waiter. Had the jalapeños poppers with mango salsa which was delicious. Followed by the mussels in red and white both equally great.

Really good outdoor atmosphere and food. This place had one of the best Mofongo Relleno. The waiter recommended yucca, so we got that with chicken and criollo sauce...amazing! We also had the Mussels in White sauce, salads, zoodles (zucchini noodles), fish taco and fresh grouper, all just as good. The hostess would not seat us since 1 in our party did not have mask, even thou we all are fully vaccinated and had our cards. Once we got all our masks, we realized the whole place had outdoor seating and we literally walked to the nearest table from the host desk and the mask could be taken off. While we were seated there, we saw several other patrons being let in without any masks, and that felt odd. Also, we were told that we had to be done in an hour and a half due to some other big reservation. We were a party of 5 and an hour into us being there we saw several new guests still being allowed to come in. So we tried to not make much of it, enjoyed the food and left!

Great food 🥘… fish is my favorite but everything else is also good

Their jalapeño poppers are homemade and off the hook. Everything we ordered was great, and we ordered almost everything.

The place is very cool and the service is very good. The food and drinks were delicious.

Nice open air restaurant. Food was decent 7/10. I would definitely eat there again when I come back into town. 🤙

Good food and friendly staff with a nice surfer atmosphere.

Accessible parking available. There's a lunch menu and a dinner menu. We visited during lunch time. Welcoming atmosphere. Very american style cuisine (e.g., burgers, hotdogs, fish and chips and more). We had burgers. They were cooked to perfection. There's a limited selection of desserts and some of the items are frozen (always a bummer when there's a lack of local desserts). We had the coconut "flan" (most local-like dessert on the menu). Large portion, enough for two or three. It was delicious; however, the texture reminded me of a pudding not a flan. Bathrooms could be cleaner. Staff was efficient and friendly. Review is based on personal experience and only the items that were consumed were reviewed. We always encourage people to visit for themselves so that they can enjoy their own personal experience.

Amazing place. Highly recommended. Great service. Great atmosphere. Food is delicious. Very good chef they have. Clams in white wine sauce were my favorite. Never had them better. Also the churrasco with chimichurri was delicious. The drinks are awesome. You get what I’m trying to say. Yeah. The place is a must visit if you are in Rincon.

This place is good. The Cubano egg roll was great, and the picture is of the Captain Jack burger, but the menu items are for a single item, no sides, which makes this place a bit pricey since you don't get a lot for your money. The food was very tasty though. Eating outdoors where the floor is made of rocks is kinda strange, but it was a good experience overall.

Louis was our waiter! Candy was our hostess! I wish we had both of them at every restaurant we go to! They both are amazing! Food was amazing as well. Place is great and well worth the visit! Would highly recommend

Solid experience. Food: The wings were on point. I went with the Guava BBQ sauce. These were the best wings I have found on the island. The blue cheese burger was missing something. I ended up adding the bbq sauce to just give it a little more flavor. Service: Great customer service. Candy served us during our visit. She has such a happy personality. She checked in with how we were doing but not too often to bother us. She really did a good job. Atmosphere: it is an outdoor setting. It is simple yet nice. The flys were bad but they did have a little table fan to help keep them away. I only saw one of these fans. Over all I gave them a 4/5 because of the burger missing something and the flys and the price was pretty expensive for lunch.

My husband and I recently had dinner there and it was amazing!! Great drinks, and delicious food while dining “Al fresco”, in a great atmosphere. The waitress was on it and drinks and Food came out hot and on time! We shared the blistered shishito peppers app, YUM, and a salad. Then we both had the fresh grouper, portions were huge, wish we were hungrier but happy to take the rest home. All in all it was a great night and would definitely recommend dining there!!

The menu specials are the best on the island! The perfect blend of flavors and texture in a proper serving is extremely appreciated! Plus key lime pie!!!

Heard about this place when we were at another establishment within a mile or so, everyone said the food was awesome and that we had to try it. 2 nights later and we tried it out. First of all the staff is very friendly. They told us about the menu and different specials etc. My wife got the New York steak with the rub and it was awesome, asked for medium rare and it came out medium rate and the taste was perfect, no sauce needed for flavor. I got a special, the rainbow fish, again, cooked perfectly and the serving size was great. Definitely going to come back and try out other dishes.

Cesar was our bartender on multiple visits. Always fast and friendly service. He makes great mixed drinks! Can't beat the happy hour!
