We stayed for a week at El Boqueron, partly for business and partly for a vacation. Easy to get to from the airport (although you might have to help the driver with instructions). We arrived quite late, but the taxi driver called the manager and he was there in a couple of minutes.
Wonderful location, near restaurants, bars, shops and historic sites. Self-catering was easy, with a supermarket about five minutes away. We loved the outside patio - great place for breakfast and a barbecue. Lots of plants, and plenty of birds out there in the morning. Also the tiled floor and interesting art on the walls.
We went dancing at La Rumba just down the street - even if you don't dance, it's worth going just to see the experts salsa. Most kinds of restaurants (cheap to expensive) less than 10 minutes walk away.
Easy to get taxis from the nearby plaza.
If you want to go on organized tours (e.g. snorkelling, rain forest etc.) the companies will usually do a pickup in the plaza.
We were out late at night and always felt comfortable walking back to the apartment.
Overall rating: great place to stay in a wonderful neighbourhood.
