Yukayeke Playa Resort

This place was perfect for us, a family of 4. We stayed for about three weeks while my husband worked in Añasco. It is not a luxury resort, but a building with approximately 10 appartments. It does not have a reception, but the owner lives across the street and a caretaker is around every day. The appartment is not very big, but big enough for us. The kitchen is basic, but it functions and the fridge is huge (for Dutch standards :-). In the weekends there were some more people, but it was quiet during the week, we often had the big and beautiful swimmingpool to ourselves. The beach is in the backyard; as the resort is nearly at the end of a dead-end street, the area and beach are very quiet, we often had the beach to ourselves too. Added bonus for us are the friendly cats that live around the place. And for me personally it was a very good bonus that the area is rich in birds. I have spotted several of the endemic Puerto Rican birdspecies during short walks from Yukayeke. Last but not least: we went swimming in the sea after dark and there was amazing bioluminescence. You don't have to go to La Parguera to see it, the effect here was even better! There are three restaurants in walking distance that are open in weekends. A bit further away, but still close, are twoo shops in the village La Playa. A 15 minute drive brings you to a shopping centre with supermarket etc.
