Villa Montana Beach Resort

Like any vacation choice, the best result is getting what you expected when you were planning for it, and a little more. This is a very low key and quiet “resort” that sits on an incredibly beautiful and deserted stretch of beach on the Western edge of the North Atlantic Coast of Puerto Rico. We flew into San Juan (there is a closer airport to this side of the Island with limited commercial flights) and rented a car; it was about a 2 hour drive out to the location; easy drive and Waze took care of the directions flawlessly. We had reserved a 1BR Villa, which is a lock off unit as part of a larger townhouse style unit. The villa had a small kitchenette. The rooms are showing their age; the bathroom is quite dated, and the cabinetry in the unit is nearing the end of its useful life. The bed was very comfortable, and the couch appears to be newer and was also very comfortable. There was a small patio outside of the unit with a couple of chairs and an umbrella which didn’t have a view. The villa was a quick walk (60 seconds) to the ocean and the restaurant/pool area. The restaurant is superb with great service and great food to match. Drinks were terrific. Don’t miss the French toast. We ate all three meals there, and the cost was reasonable, especially in comparison to the rest of the Island. The beach fronts the rocky and rough Atlantic Ocean; not a place to swim unless you are a strong swimmer and know how to manage rip currents. It was lots of fun watching kite surfers out doing their thing. The beach front has day beds and chairs/umbrellas. The resort was quiet and we never had a problem getting either. I probably would not bring kids to this resort given the nature of the ocean here. There’s a small, quiet pool next to the restaurant which was kept very clean. The highlight here is beach walks, for more than a mile in either direction there is gorgeous, deserted beach, really, some of the nicest I’ve seen in the Caribbean, and I’ve been pretty much to every Island. If you want to go for an Ocean Swim, drive over to Crash Boat Beach, about 20 minutes away—very smooth water, food trucks, beach bars, JetSkis, etc., and a lot of fun. We wanted to relax and do nothing for four days and sit by a beautiful beach; Villa Montana delivered in spades, and that’s why it gets five stars. The resort is apparently for sale (some of the buildings are privately owned) so it will be interesting to see what a new owner does. For now, it’s a quiet jewel in an otherworldly setting…..

Awesome place. The 2 bedroom villa was enormous and very clean and comfortable for my family. The beach was spectacular and the food at the eclipse (where we ate EVERY NIGHT) was consistently excellent. This place is peaceful and a secret spot for active families who enjoy pools without speakers playing unwanted music and beach chairs reserved at daybreak by frantic sunworshipers. Well done!!

Location was gr8 for water sports. Entry into ocean was typically rocky. The property was beautifully maintained and the atmosphere was chill. The bathroom and kitchen were very outdated. The mattress was terribly lumpy. Would b nice if the full dining menu was acaila le in the bar area. The front desk was responsive unless a supervisor needed input. In those instances call backs were not received and in-person trips to the office were necessary even for an inconsequential issue which could easily have been resolved without a trip to the office. I would most likely not book another vacation to this property.

Great service. Great attention. Excellent location. everything within a short drive... Definitely will be back....

Really fantastic resort! Great for all ages of kids. Very relaxing. Highly recommend. We will be back for sure. Central location for all the beaches as well but really dont have to leave the resort
