Choose this hotel if you are having a rental car, else if you are like us travelling during Christmas with the full island not having a rental car use Uber and Uber eats oulr DoorDash. Ubers get expensive but are always available better than the $1000 daily rental Ford transit . There is a very nice pool and a small beach at the faciliyu. The Cave attractions and ToroVerde ziplines are close, Fajardo for El Yunque and Cieba for Snorkelling are far. The crew was fantastic and facility has microwave and plates to use with utensils. There is a charge for parking. There is a Casino you get $100 to play. This is actually a timeshare property and is inside a closed property with Golf and Indoor games and Yes Pickle ball courts. There is an Indoor go karting track all these are seperate but can be availed.

Here’s a polished version of your review: Disappointing Experience I’ve stayed at this hotel before, and during my previous visit, the price was reasonable, and I had a good experience on the third floor. Unfortunately, this time was very different. I was placed on the second floor, and the moment I stepped out of the elevator. The hallway was dirty, carpets and doors broken and were stained, and nothing looked like it had been cleaned or renovated in a long time. The room itself was no better. It had a strong, unpleasant smell, and the bathroom was unacceptable—there were hairs in the bathtub. To make matters worse, the sofa couch in the livin room was covered in stains, making it really gross to even sit on Overall, I’m extremely disappointed with the condition of the hotel this time around. The lack of cleanliness and upkeep is unacceptable. I hope management takes action to address these issues.
