Uptown Guesthouse

Set in San Juan, Uptown Guesthouse is a small, budget-friendly guesthouse less than 1 km from Maite Beach and about 2.1 km from Solangon Beach. Air-conditioned rooms come with a private bathroom and a practical touch — a kitchen sink with utensils and an electric kettle in the room, plus an outdoor clothesline for drying laundry. Scooter rental and free parking are available on site.

Rates run roughly $18-$29 a night. Reviews are still very limited (TripAdvisor currently shows only a handful, with a 5/5 average, guests praising spotless rooms and helpful staff), so treat it as a promising, lesser-known option rather than a proven crowd favorite — a solid pick for a quiet, no-frills base near Maite Beach, but go in with reasonable expectations given how few guests have reviewed it so far.
