Latest reviews on Ponce's beaches

Playa Hilton Ponce
4 Jocelyn James

This beach is a fantastic destination for families, offering various amenities such as a top-notch gym and a delightful open-air design. The pool area is enjoyable, although it tends to be more focused on families, resulting in a lively atmosphere with many children. However, if you are seeking a luxurious resort experience, this may not be the ideal place for you. The breakfast provided is exceptional, but the dining choices are limited and only available for a specific period of time. It is advisable to plan on dining downtown if you decide to visit, which is another aspect that prevents this location from being considered a true resort by many.

Playa Tamarindo

The beach is a stunning location that is absolutely worth experiencing.

Playa Ballena
4 Lorenzo Marco Rossi

We attempted to reach the beach by car, relying on Google maps to guide us. However, our efforts were in vain as the road seemed to disappear before our very eyes. Despite being only a short distance away, we were unable to find a clear path to the beach. It is possible that the entrance is obscured or that Google maps led us astray. It seems that hiking or kayaking may be the only way to reach this elusive beach. We wanted to give you a heads up about our experience in case you plan on making the same journey.

Playa de la Guancha

Playa Jauca

While exploring the vicinity, we stumbled upon a beach that caught our attention on Google. We decided to give it a shot, but our experience was far from pleasant. The water was murky and uninviting, and the beach itself was not well-maintained. It was a rare occasion for me to come across a beach in Puerto Rico that failed to impress me. Unless significant improvements are made to its cleanliness, I would not recommend visiting this beach in the future.
