I can confirm everything the previous review mentioned.
Rincon was my favorite areas on the island. Sort of southern calif beach town, mexican small town combo.

We were very happy with the place and are planning on coming back. Great price, clean, right on the beach.

And after 2 weeks around the island eating out, in 5 different locations, it was nice to have a kitchen.
We bought some cheap local fish, at the neighborhood store and put some peppers and tom sauce and fried them up. Great

The beach and sunsets were beautiful and water was calm. I personally like some of the surfing beaches, but they were way too rough for my wife to go out and play. And all the places near the surfing beaches were more expensive.

If you are looking for luxurious accommodations... Pay $50+ per night and go next door to Rincon of the Seas. If you want a comfortable, peaceful and quiet stay for a reasonable price, Villa Antonio's the place. It's an older property, but the room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. The kitchenette with coffee maker, fridge and stove was nice to have. There were plates and silverwear, but you have to bring your own napkins, dish soap and sponge if you plan on doing any cooking. Still, we were only about 30 steps from the beautiful sandy beach, and just a short walk you can go to the Rincon of the Seas (which looked nice but a bit stuffy, and the karaoke bar turned us off) and on the other side is the Villa Cofresi, which looks like a fun (but loud) place to go and hang out for a few hours before going back to your quiet room at Villa Antonio. The location within the town is excellent too, just a couple of minutes away from the supermarket and excellent restaurants and of course, Rincon's gorgeous beaches. I'd definitely return to Villa Antonio.

If you are looking for an "american hotel" then this is not the place to stay. Stay at the Rincon of the Seas next door. Both are on the beach which in the summer months was great for a nice dip and swim. The best way to describe this hotel is like an upscale RV park and your room is the RV. They supply the room bedding and towels and furnishings and you provide the rest. We rented a two bedroom for 3 days and were 75 steps from the beach. The setting made you feel in puerto rico not usa. This was great for us because our daughter had a seperate room and we had a living room and balcony to lounge in on our return from day trips. It was a relaxing place to stay. Restaurants were a short drive away and the nearby bakery had nice pastries and a cheap breakfast. The accomodations could use some updating but the location and serenity were great.

JUST A NOTE THIS HOTEL IS RIGHT ON THE BEACH. WHEN PICKING A PLACE BE SURE ITS ON NOT NEAR THE BEACH some descriptions are confunsing. IN THE THREE DAYS WE WERE HERE WE DROVE ALL OVER THE WEST COAST AND ENJOYED DIFFERENT BEACAHES EACH DAY. No regrets for staying here it was just what we wanted.

Ok, we arrive at the Villa Antonio and it is arround 90º F and humid, we checked into our room with out any problems. We entered the room and we were a little surprised, the T.V. was missing channel change buttons, and there was no silverware(room had oven, stove, fridge, sink). Although the hotel did have wireless internet it was down apon arrival and did not work until later the next day. If you are planning to go diving in the area I would probably go to Taino Divers, they are very friendly but, be sure to reserve dives early because they can fill up in a matter of hours. Otherwise it was an "ok" hotel, the best resturants in the area by far are the Rincon of the Seas (the hotel next doors resturant) and the Lazy Parrot with a very friendly staff. (to our surprise the very crowded pool closes at 6 at night). If possible I would reccomend staying at the rincon if the seas next door it is very nice and the pool is WAY better, the hotel is a lot nicer and the price is not too much more i recall about $20-$30 dollars a night more. Also be careful on the roads of Rincon the drivers are very wild, fast, spastic and out of control.
