When you leave, you can leave appliances off, so you can go directly to the airport on your way home. There are several supermarkets between the airport and Aquatika, but the most convenient is the 24/7 Walmart Supercenter at the intersection of Rt. 3 and Rt 188 on your way to Aquatika. There is also a mini-mart just outside of the gate at Aquatika and a Pharmacy down the road by the Villas del Mar complex. Walmart super center is a 15-min drive from Aquatika and is open 24/7. Renting your own car is highly recommended. Nonetheless if you don't rent a car, there is a flat-rate taxi fare from the airport to Loiza of $60-80 (subject to increase without notice - so check before you get into the taxi). There can be small surcharges for extra luggage or nighttime service from 10pm - 6am, tolls, or more than 5 passengers. If you have any questions, ask the taxi dispatcher who will give you a receipt for the fixed price of the trip before you get into the cab. Tipping is at your discretion but is normally about 10%.

(Negotiable) Disclaimer regarding electricity and water In September 2017 Puerto Rico was directly hit by Hurricane Maria. Unfortunately our power grid has suffered significant damage after the hurricane and over the years. Power and water outages are extremely common in the island and may last from a few minutes to a few hours. Sometimes power goes once a week or sometimes once a month, it’s completely out of our control. Elite Property Managament will not pay for a hotel, vacation rental or transportation expenses incurred because of an interruption of water or electrical services. If water or electricity is interrupted for more than 3 hours, guests have the option of canceling their reservation and requesting a refund for the nights not used. Under no circumstances we will refund consumed nights. By booking this unit we understand that you read all of our listing descriptions and that you are aware of the situation.
