10 minute ride from the airport. Once arriving to Numero Uno Pinones and after the second or third phone call here is what we encounter:

1. A nice facility, clean, off the grid neighborhood that appears to be what some others stated stretchy, but to us it's not. It's thriving and safe.You walk by and see neighbors with doors and windows open to enjoy the Caribbean refreshing air.
I would have to say somewhat of an side street, close to restaurants and nightlife maybe a 7 minute walk.

2. We were the only people checked in as of Friday in a ten room facility. Cool with me. But unfortunately for us because we like to mingle a little and watch for human action and enjoy our surroundings in company of others. Other reviews stated, they were welcomed with snacks when they arrived to their room, and the bar and restaurant onsite was open on weekends between certain hours.  Unfortunately, for us this was discontinued and we weren't able to book elsewhere because we weren't going to be reimbursed according to policy.

Although this seems discouraging to clients and not for the business. I get the business aspect of it concerning operating cost. Should this be case? Which to me it is. As a business you should able accommodate elsewhere. Example a free pickup and drop off at least twice within a 4 day stay, or offer a bottle of wine to help them unwind from a long day travel, would be helpful to your guest since they reserved lodging at your facility.  Our hard earned dollars are spent at our choice of a local business to help lift up Puerto Rico.  This is why went with a local establishment verse a commercial establishment.

3.  The others comments were about the airplane noise and the hens sounds within the neighborhood.

It's wasn't a disturbance to us at all. We are native from NYC, and I now residing in the south. So somewhat same environment.

The planes taking off noise it is not as bad as others commented at all. The sound of the plane noise it's less than 7 seconds not every 15 to 30 minutes, but it seems to be every 45 minutes if that. 

As for the hens it's natural and they are barely heard. I say welcome to the surban side of town.

4. The facility pictures are exactly liked the photos. I love it.  5 stars for that.

Room 301, when the air conditioner is off builds a condensation on the tile floor, so be careful as not to slip. Keep the air on to prevent this from happening.

Email entry was given after the second call the day we arrived. To gain entry is manually electronically done for both wooden door and double glass door. We had an issue with the wooden gate door, it would not open after using the keypad. Luckily maintenance was onsite and one of reps at another site was able buzz us in.

In our room we gained a gate clicker and that resolved our entry problem for the rest of stay. Your key is in a black lockbox to gain entry into your room.

Parking is available if you choose to drive. Note Uber doesn't come to pick up in this neighborhood after dark, due heavily congestion of traffic because of nightlife.  But you can get dropped off.

5. Numero Uno Pinones can be a total VIBE, at some point. I really hope for the best for this business.  I think a Friday or a Saturday live band and dinner out back once a week would really be nice and set the tone especially if you have a somewhat full house.

Quite, upcoming spot, and I may look to book in the future.



Supporting Puerto Rico 

Excellent service from beginning to end. We a Hotel that wanted to do an outing for managers and supervisors. We heard of this space by a friend and decided to ask if they can cater us. The selling process with the General Manager Dianira, was very attentive and accommodating. Day of the event the whole team was super ready and gave us the extra mile. The Serve and Bartender Leticia and Nadine were on point making sure everybody had a drink on hand. Food was delicious Chef. Felix Melendez, Bravo!!
Thanks again for your service!

Excellent Service from Beginning to End

We have had a great time, my family and me. The service was excellent, the place is very beautiful especially the sunsets in the lagoon, perfect for fishing. Very close to old San Juan and the airport.

Excelent

The place is well kept and has a lot of space to do a nice terrace party , rooms are very well kept , and secluded from all metropolitan noises, the view of the lagoon is very beautiful!!! Sun sets are marvelous in this property, the only thing is the way to get to the place is inside a little local barrio!!!

Party

We went on a girls trip & stayed. Denise & Jorge were awesome. Jorge, the grounds keeper, was just the best & took such great care of us. The place was beautiful & so was the view. I also loved the local feel of it & it was close to tons of beaches. Only cons were the wifi wasn't good in the upper levels of the property & water pressure was horrible. Also, there was some noise from airplanes & roosters but it was very minimal contrary to what other may have mentioned.

Awesome Property with an Amazing View!

I stayed here with a group of friends to celebrate a birthday so we had all 10 rooms to ourselves. We rented through Airbnb so none of us expected a hotel feel, we wanted something more house-like and that is what we received. Overall, the property is well maintained and clean. There is an outdoor kitchen with fridge, gas stove, microwave, gas grill and large bar/prep area. The kitchen itself is small but we were able to make amazing meals for our large group there without a problem. At first glance, the area is sketchy but we fell in love with the neighbors and the roosters. The lodge is in the direct flight path for the airport so we heard every take off and landing, however, for me it wasn't a big deal. I was never awakened by the noise if that helps any. 

Pros: 
* The staff was awesome! He was present during the day to help with whatever was needed as we had a lot of deliveries scheduled (food, tables, chairs, linens, etc.) for a party. He assisted with setup and provided overall entertainment for us. 

* Unlike many, our group enjoyed the location as it allowed us to interact with the locals vs. being in an overpriced touristy area. 

Cons:
* The cab services will automatically charge you over $50 for a ride from the airport even though it is less than 5 miles away simply because of the address and the mention of Loiza 

* Lack of room/laundry service -- rooms were never cleaned nor were the sheets changed during our stay. If you wanted them cleaned, you had to strip the bed yourself and leave the items in the hallway and be sure you told the house manager that the items were waiting

* No hot tub

Tips:
If you are traveling with a large group or know that the lodge will be full during your stay, BRING YOUR OWN TOWELS!!! We ended up going to Walmart to purchase towels for our group because there were no facecloths available and getting other towels washed on a daily basis was a chore. 

Make friends with a cab driver and get their personal number if you do not have a car! We saved hundreds of dollars in cab fare by doing this (there were 23 of us) and they became our personal drivers/tour guides.

Overall Great Stay

Our family stayed here 1 night after a lovely vacation on Culebra. We choose it because of price and proximity to airport. It is in a poorer area of San Juan, but once in the 'compound' of the hotel, it is very lovely. Sweet clean swimming pool and very clean nice room. The air conditioners were very loud (would have preferred option of overhead fans) but the AC worked very well. Would have appreciated coffee maker in room and few items for breakfast as there is no where locally available without car. Fruit/dry cereal/yogurt would have been great. tHere is a fridge if you bring supplies. Other reviewers have complained about the rooster noises here, but this is P.R., one can expect roosters. You need earplugs everyplace you stay here unless you are staying in a large corporate style hotel, which is what we did not want. 

Our taxi had trouble finding hotel, but we had no problem once we called for directions. The hotel needs a sign on the main road, indicating its location. Once in 'compound' we swam, read and relaxed. The hotel is on mangroves with a lovely dock. If we had more time that would have been great to explore. The owner Denise organized a taxi to a fairly local restaurant which was great, and we had great fish, mofongo and child happy food for decent price. 

A 4:30am taxi was arranged for us to the airport which arrived on time and all went smoothly. This is a lodge or guest house, not really a hotel with front of house staff available 24 hours/ day. The owner was always available by phone. It is a good location for the airport and for going to meet the ferry in Farjardo for Culebra or Vieques.
