Love this hotel! It was perfect! Everything you need is in walking distance. A public beach to your left or a more private beach to the right, just steps away. Casino is 3 blocks away. Breakfast at 6:00am from a gorgeous ocean front view. 20 minute drive to old San Juan. I rented a bronco, but a taxi or uber is another way to get to Old San Juan. Old San Juan is great for day or night life. Don’t forget to check out the two castles for only $10 bucks per person. You won’t be disappointed with this lovely hotel. Better than any fancy hotels.

The breakfast terrace was the high point of the property, other than the staff who were wonderful and very accommodating. The breakfast terrace sits right on the ocean. Two gorgeous beaches are minutes walks away, as is a variety of dining options. The property itself is tired and in need of repairs and upkeep. We reserved a queen bed but had a full. The couch in our room was faded and stained, and we had a significant leak when it rained.

the staff was very helpful, and the breakfast was adequate But there is no reception nor personnel to open the hotel gate. Expedia did not provide a telephone which is the only way to reach someone inside the hotel and get to your room The rooms would do better having a hair dryer, a coffe maker and a proper closet

If you are looking for more relaxing, chill feel as if we’re at home. This is definitely a place to stay. Very friendly, safe respectful place and ppl. We were relocated here from another hotel and I must stay it was quite pleasant. A few feet from the beach area, shopping restaurants were within walking from the distance hotel. I will definitely recommend and will be staying again

A great little gem in a convenient location

An incredible gem in a prime location. The hotel itself is outdated and simple, providing bare bones necessity items. Certainly, not a luxury hotel for sure however, ample large common area with the potential for a kitchen/eatery. One side faces the ocean and the other side is right at the very beginningof Isla Verde Beach. For those who enjoy gambling and the grand lobby of the El San Juan hotel, and casino, this hotel is only a 10 minute walk away. There are only about five dedicated parking spots on the property and if you don’t get one, you will need to park on the street.

This was my first time returning home in 18 years, I was nervous and the staff was amazing they provided local recommendations and were over all very attentive. The room was super clean. Very homey feeling, very relaxed environment. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because the parking is very limited and I wish I had know ahead of time. I was so nervous about hitting peoples cars trying to get in a tight spot.
