The beds where small and not too comfortable, and the doors looks old and rusty . Nice location and nice sharing the pool with the other hotel.

It’s a very nice resort. It has good access to things nearby. The outside scenery is the best part. The hotel it self could use some updates.

The location was nice. The outdoor area and lobby were really nice. However, our room was gross. The carpet was dirty, the tub was slow to drain and dirty and there were bugs.

The property is a little outdated. Besides that, on a decent beach, nice pool, bar is reasonably priced…not too far from the airport but far enough to not be in the hustle and bustle of sanjuan but unfortunately it is a becoming a lot more Americanized. North central location of the island. Get a car and explore.
The hotel room was pretty clean and well organized. However, The staff from the front desk were not polite; not organized as a team. While one was on the phone, four others were on the side talking among themselves while we were waiting. I was just there once to ask for a towel with the card in hand. The staff wasnt even happy at all, like they didnt like their job.
The hotel is beautiful and the pool area is amazing! But I am rating it low, because we waited 1 hr and 45 minutes in line to do the checking, because they did not have enough staff to handle the high # of check-ins they had the day I arrived. They also did not have enough towels for the pool to accommodate all guests, so we had to go to the front desk several times till they had some available. I also did not like that it was so far from so many other things in the city, and spent too much money on Ubers to/from places.
The pool guys provided an excellent service. The front desk at checkout did not let us finish our lunch at the pool and demanded pay $55/pp to stay. Poor customer service for a puerto rican family that came to the island for a short vacation
I really like the pool and is on the beach. Parking is not included, the tiny little shampoo and conditioner are a one time only no matter how many days are you staying. The carpet on hallway was wet for the days we rented and was not cleaned up. The reception counter was not professional in anyway. They treated me like they were doing me a favor. The pool bar never had a bartender when we used the pool. For food you need to go to the Embassy hotel next door. The hotel need an upgrade, the beds are full size not queen. The pillows are old and found two roaches on counter next to coffee maker. Will Not recommend this place.
The amenities and the room were excellent, but the service was awful. The staff did not clean the room even when we called for service. At some point our room had no toilet paper and trash from two days.
Room smelt horrible
Room door lock broken wouldn’t lock
Room and bathroom filthy
No refund from hotel or Expedia. No offer to clean room. Told these are the rooms that are offered through Expedia cannot change rooms. I booked a different hotel at my cost and again no refund from the hotel or Expedia.
The outdoor pool area is well maintained as it is shared with the Embassy Suites. However the guest rooms are a different story. We had so many problems that they moved us 3 different times since each room had an issue maintenance was unable to fix right away. The furniture is in desperate need of replacement, the doors are missing security locks and even door handles would come off. We were 4 in a room but they only provided 2 towels. We had to go hunt for the additional towels since housekeeping never came to deliver them. I could go on but I won't. All I know is that I won't be returning to this location.
