Mini Review:
Casa del Sol Hotel in the heart of Ponce, Puerto Rico, offers nine comfortable rooms, a central patio, a bar, and a historical backdrop that transport any guest back in history.
Casa del Sol Hotel Highlights:
Located at the heart of Ponce’s Historic District and facing two streets, Union Street and Sol, Casa del Sol Hotel is a gateway to an earlier Puerto Rico. Stepping into the hotel’s entrance – a two-story building with a huge balcony on the second floor, replete with wooden columns and doors – is like stepping inside a very vivid picture from an old history book.
The second floor lobby transports you to a surreal environment, filled with columns, wooden chairs, and iron gates. The first floor lobby – which doubles as a front desk and bar – leads into an enormous central patio with tropical plants, a small gazebo and the back of an antique house that is home to even more guest rooms. Filtered sunlight and tropical breezes make this private courtyard an oasis from city life just 50 feet away.
The nine accommodating and comfortable rooms in the hotel are the perfect place to have a relaxing evening or an invigorating night sleep. The huge beds are the perfect place to end a day full of sight seeing and tourism – all conveniently located within blocks from the hotel.
The prices are also a bargain, at just $70.85 including taxes, this hotel is one of the more affordable in the entire south coast of Puerto Rico.
Insider Info:
Spanish Conquistador Patio
The same way the lobby of Casa del Sol Hotel takes the individual to another reality, an open air central patio leaves visitors wondering if they are still in Ponce, or if they’ve stumbled into some Spanish conquistador’s interior patio. At its very center is a gorgeous fountain. You just can’t resist imagining people like Juan Ponce de Leon and Hernan Cortes discussing their campaigns or their latest run-ins with pirates.
Good Times at the Garden, at the Bar, or in the Jacuzzi
An exquisite garden of flowers decorate the patio conjuring up images of old “fiestas”, family parties with live guitar musical and beautiful girls dancing to the sound of each musical cord.
The hotel also has a bar with local prices (not inflated tourist prices) where guests can mingle with the locals from Ponce and all over the South Puerto Rico. For guests only, the hotel also offers a comfortable Jacuzzi for further deep relaxation.
Onsite Masseuse
If you need another way to relax, try a relaxing massage right at the hotel. Be sure to book ahead and the messages are in demand.
