Why Choose Hatillo Over San Juan?

 San Juan Beaches are beautiful and the convenient Hotels offer a wide range of amenities and activities. But if you would like to get away from congested, high price tourist areas and see a bit of the daily island life and still enjoy a variety of Beautiful Beaches and visit many Historic Sites off the beaten path, Hatillo may have the perfect offering for you.

 

  Getting to C9 is an easy drive from either San Juan or Aguadilla Airports and you will find that Hatillo's C9 Guest House is central to many of the Beaches and Sites popular with Puerto Rico's citizens as well as adventurous tourists. There are many interests for adults and children alike including a wonderful Water Park in Aguadilla and the Arecibo Lighthouse and Pirate Park.

Puerto Rico is much more than Beautiful Beaches. Most attractions are available for just the cost of the gasoline and lunch.

 

  Guest House and Hotel rates in and near Hatillo are significantly lower than the rates found in San Juan. The C9 Guest House is OceanSide with enticing Rates and Specials. A 'walk' through

our internet pages will provide the information about C9 and the surrounding area.  C9 Units with Kitchen facilities will provide opportunity for familiar meals with your favorite healthy menus at prices

greatly less than restaurant prices.
