Guest Services

The Villa Tropical Guest Services Team includes the General Manager and Family, Cleaning Professionals, Building and Grounds Maintenance “Handymen”, and Sales/Reservations/Office Administration People. Most notably, CHEERS to all our team members who respond at all hours of the day and night to assist Guests. It’s our attitude that makes this Team so special. The Guest Services Team takes great pride in our unique style and image and thus work extra hard for our many, many, return Guests’ praise and respect. Villa Tropical is not a hotel, nor is this a resort; we are better than that – we are your “home away from home.” We rent fully - equipped apartments and have on-site resources to help you enjoy your stay. Our pool is the ocean, our gym is the beach, and every single one of the VT Team members will go out of their way to assist you in any way possible.

“GET THE GOOD STUFF HERE” – Villa Tropical’s Gift Shop & Convenience Store is licensed to sell food and beverages (including beer, wine and alcohol), necessities, souvenirs, gifts, and more. The store sells food and beverage products; juice, pop, wine, beer and spirits; gifts and souvenirs, toys, towels, T-shirts, earrings, magnets, postcards and other travelers’ necessities (from sunblock to diapers, golf balls to surf wax). The Guest Services Team will do our best to stock your favorite items. 

As a Tenant renting an apartment, you have the opportunity to live at home on the beach and also have the responsibility to care for your apartment. Please use the laundry facilities for your convenience (obeying designated quiet times) and/or arrange for cleaning services with the office (fees will apply). Now if, from time to time, you notice you are missing utensils, or cups, or a light bulb, or a broom and mop, please call on us. Visit with us at the General Manager’s Office ask any one of the Team Members for assistance at any time. OR if you want to live even more luxuriously on the beach, we can pre-coordinate regular cleanings and meal catering or in-unit Personal Chef Services. We are here to help make your Villa Tropical stay so memorable, that you book for next year before you leave. Call 787-872-7172

Getting Married in Puerto Rico??- Well we did, on the back of a dive boat, in 1998. We’ve also experienced several Shacks Beach Wedding Ceremonies. Now although Villa Tropical is not equipped to hold a wedding on our grounds per se, we’ve certainly hosted a few. We can recommend the local connections needed to secure the best local wedding planners, florists, caterers, Ministers/Priests and local facilities for group receptions and events. The beach out front is public property; thus, you can choose to enjoy sunset vows in a quiet romantic setting OR simply Honeymoon with us and book your wedding at a facility near-by.
