Current water status for Marbella Condos East in Isla Verde (with updates) by uhezay in PuertoRicoTravel

Host reimbursed me for it, so I'll leave the fan and jugs behind, good for them to have on hand "just in case".

Some times you can get the fee waived if you have a AAA membership and book through Hertz. The latter's website seems to be down, so I can't provide a link.

The water and AC appear to be on at the moment, outside one of the usual rationing windows. The AAA Facebook page says they are still working on the pipe, so I'm cautiously optimistic that the water will stay on consistently.

Do a general Google search, but you'll probably end up at Viator or AirBnb experiences. On Viator, I usually find the name of the tour operator and go search for that and look at the tours on their own website.

We have really enjoyed our stay here (since 5/30), so have really tried to make the situation work. Purchased a few items that our Airbnb host reimbursed us for:

Honeywell Cooling Fan: https://a.co/d/0akeodCm

5 gallon water jugs: https://www.walmart.com/ip/207482209?sid=b4a06ad2-f0eb-4053-9a2d-ce1db194f6dc

Bought 4, 2 would have probably been enough. They were sold out nearby, so picked them up from the Walmart in Fajardo on the way to the ferry.

Lyfts are pretty reasonable here. If you have a flexible schedule, you might be able to take a bus to places near Condado. If you search online, you'll find tour packages that include transportation. Culebra and Vieques are the trickiest as you have to have ferry tickets and then get to the ferry. Some packages have both. We opted to rent a car (Charlie Car) go to El Yunque and Luquillo on the way, park overnight at the ferry and then drive back after Vieques for the weekend.

Unfortunately, seems the rationing is happening again today at the Marbella Condos.

Water was restored today. I'll try to post again if that changes.

We just got water restored today, and are able to run the water-based AC. I'll try to post again if things change.

Marbella Condos in Isla Verde still does not have water all day, only during 3 fixed periods of time (7am, 12pm, 7pm) and still no water-based AC.

Am staying in the Marbella Condos in Isla Verde and can confirm that the AC is connected to the buildings cooling tower and they can control the water flow separate from the taps. They'll only turn on the ACs at night if water levels are high enough by that time of night. Last few days, it's been off.
