I liked that there was a microwave and refrigerator. Didnt like beach, too many rocks and underbrush in water. Didnt like the fact that all the pool sections were kiddie shallow pools. No where in the room or property to charge any electronic devices. Wouldnt revisit.

The property needs to be updated. The rooms are clean but the look is terrible for it to be a resort and for what we paid. There were no wash rags in our room even after the cleaned they never brought them I had to keep asking the front desk to give me some. We got locked out of our room bc the safety latch somehow hooked when we left out. The Amenities are nice and convenient. I would recommend this resort if you have kids bc it is safe and so much for them to do on the property but not if your looking for a special room for a couple.

The property was convenient location for me, just 20 minutes from my family in Vega Alta. The hotel is under construction. Room was spacious but old furniture. Bedroom tv malfunctioning, shower stall had rusty metal soap dish. Should have somethings in writing in the room on the amenities available to us. All amenities seem to be next door at Embassy Suites, which was beautiful. The beach was not appealing since it was a public beach, no lifeguards. Suggest stay with pools. Positive was the staff was friendly. Room spacious with washer dryer, and new kitchen appliances. This property has potential, however, as a first timer, no perks or courtesies offered. Be ready to pay extra fees for higher floors, late checkouts and parking. If offered a complimentary stay once remodeling is completed, I would love to return and give a thorough review. Thanks for having me

The property and surrounding areas were very nice, clean and safe. Pool area very nice. Room furniture could use an upgrade but all were ok. Hotel should post notice of events happening while you may be vacationing there. Also make a note of several restaurants on premises not open on Monday and Tuesdays

As far as room location it was perfect. Right in front of beach and could access pool area/beach from room. During my stay, the property was being renovated. My room, in that aspect was not good. Old carpet, old uncomfortable beds sheets and blankets were stained. It was noisy in the morning because of construction and 2/5 nights were noisy because of our neighbors. This property is close to many dining options, several onsite, but their business hours vary. The pool area is shared with embassy suites so it does get somewhat crowded. It is a 40-60 min drive from San Juan so take that into consideration when booking. Overall it was not too bad as we only stayed onsite the last 2 days of our trip, but again if you are doing a lot of excursions near or around San Juan, you might want to stay closer.

The property was lovely because it was on the beach and had an amazing view especially from the 8th floor. We had to move from the seventh floor to the 8th because the tub was leaking. They are doing construction and although it's going to turn out to be amazing in the future I wish that it would have been a little better during my stay. It was my birthday weekend and would have loved to not have had to gather my stuff and change rooms in the middle of my stay. Otherwise that it was nice.

The room was dusty and dirty, roaches was crawling and even went in our donut box. The bathroom mirror have black spots all over. They never leave clean towels, we had to call for towels everyday and wait for them to deliver before showering. My son and his family booked a separate room an had to switch room three times due to the terrible condition they were in. I also showed the staff at checkout one roach that was caught in out bread bag and he laughed about it.

Beautiful property right on the beach. It felt like a resort with homey qualities. The property is shared with the Embassy Hotel, there was a huge youth group that stayed at the Embassy and had an event during our stay in the pool area. I didn’t realize that could happen, it did impact our ability to relax the day of the event. Tons of people in the pool area but it was fun because there wa s
