Caribe Hilton
This was the second time I’ve stayed at the Caribe Hilton. Grounds beautiful, staff very pleasant, food at restaurants delicious. A little bump checking in, resolved. Walls in rooms paper thin. Could hear people in next room clearly as though one room. Tile floor treacherous when wet. Overall nice ...

Hyatt Vacation Club at Hacienda del Mar, Dorado
This is a great place to stay if you want a quiet getaway. There aren’t any walkable restaurants. So you would need to drive if you don’t want to eat at the hotel. There is only one place to eat which has a variety so that was ok for us. But overall the place is clean and very pretty beach.

La Concha Resort, Puerto Rico, Autograph Collection
Spa staff and service was excellent. Our room was not ready at 4:30 when we checked in. We were told we would receive a text message when it was ready. After waiting another hour 1/2 no text message was received. Went back to lobby only to find out the room was ready. No apologies was offered.
