Beach-front living experience in front of a marine sanctuary, perfect for snorkeling, diving, sunsets and relaxation at the white sand beach and in the swimming pool. You can discover the island and have a good time in restaurants and other establishments of San Juan
We offer a new Villa overlooking the new pool and beach with 5 units to rent in addition to 4 identical rooms on the beach. It exudes a fusion of Mediterranean and Southeast Asian architecture with gentle Filipino touches.
The space
Casa Juan del Barrio is located at the Maite Marine sanctuary. You can swim during high tide, during low tide the sea is too shallow. If you venture a bit farther into the sea, snorkeling is spectacular. You will need to pay a small fee to the cooperative managing the sanctuary when you snorkel.
Each room is designed for comfort and easy access to the white sandy beach and inviting blue sea and the relaxing swimming pool.
The Villa has a studio, a two-bedroom apartment and one room on the upper floor, and two rooms on the ground floor, as well as a common area, including kitchen.
Each unit has its own private terrace and en-suite toilet and bathroom with hot/cold shower and equipped with large screen TV set and free subscription for Netflix and Premium Youtube , working desk, a fridge, an air-conditioning and a ceiling fan.
We strive to satisfy our guest requirement for remote working. Each room has stable internet by connecting to Starlink through a WIFI mesh. The photovoltaic system with batteries reduces power outages to a minimum, we also installed a pressure tank and pump to improve the shower experience.
On the ground floor, Room 1 and Room 2 are facing the pool and the pool deck. Their terraces are transitioning into the deck and grounds around the pool, which can be considered common area. Room 1 has an area of 33 Sqm, which includes 9 sqm terrace, Room 2 has 33 sqm, including 6 sqm terrace
Villa Rooms 1 and 2 have two comfortable twin beds (75 by 36 inch / 191 by 91 cm). The twin beds can be arranged as one double bed (king-size) if requested. Each room is good for two persons, but additional guests (maximum 1 person) can be accommodated if requested upon booking. The additional guest needs a floor mattress at 20 USD/person/night to be paid on site.
