DO NOT STAY HERE!!!
Roman L.

Worst hotel experience I've ever had in my entire life. Honestly the entire staff acts as if you are a nuisance to them. Ever since we arrived they were questioning us about everyone. They only allow 2 people per room even if it's a double bed. They questioned us about our luggage and kept insisting that we had too many people when in fact we had 2 people per room and half our group was staying somewhere else. They said we had too much luggage for just 4 people which is ridiculous because we are on a 14 day vacation. We left our bags around 11 AM, then when we arrived for check in they insisted that our bags were for the rest of our group. They said if our names weren't on our bags they would give them to the police. This hotel is such a travesty I hope to God none of you stay here.

I have never stayed in a Courtyard Miramar hotel but the pictures online shows beautiful rooms and the space looks huge. I was recommended by Priceline that this was one of the best hotel in this particular area. How truly wrong they are and the false depiction of this hotel. I was paying $220 per night which is not a cheap price and as soon as I walked in I was shocked to the bone. The room is so small and dingy that I wanted to immediately walk out because I was horrified! The bathroom, in my opinion, and for the price they charge, should be luxurious with plenty of counter space. There was non and it looks like I had walked in to a cheap motel. The bathtub is stained, the toilet seat wouldn't stay opened because the back of the toilet is under the counter and this would block the top from staying opened. It would also stay opened because it was cheap and plastic. The TV was antiquated and at first didn't have any channels. When I needed towels or anything else I had to beg the staff at the front desk for them to bring me anything. There is no complimentary breakfast or anything for free. They charged $20 day for valet parking. The air conditioner was regulated and it would run for five minutes and wouldn't turn on for another hour. I was hot and miserable! The only lamp in the room was always tilting to the side. The outside of the hotel was so scary! People doing drugs and so many homeless people asking for money. We couldn't go out at night. I don't know who is supposed to check on the staff and how they're running things but someone from corporate should do a surprise visit. I want my $1200 back that I paid for 4 days!!

Older Hotel , clean large rooms. Great personnel. Limited parking space . Air conditioning is awesome and king size bed was a little hard.Across the street there is a good burger place with craft beer, open air seating.Thanks Osvaldo for retrieving mt IPhone . Good value for price.

The place isn't the Ritz, but you don't experience a country in your room. It was my first time traveling to Puerto Rico; the country is beautiful and the people are very nice! My first impression of the hotel was that the lobby was tiny, but the staff was friendly and very helpful. The rooms were small, but big enough for my husband and myself to hang out comfortably. We were only staying for 2 nights until our cruise sailed, while all the other people in our party converged in San Juan (my brother and SIL got married on the cruise, so there was a lot of us). Some of the younger kids stayed at the hipper La Concha Resort (way nicer hotel, but also much more expensive, and only a block or two from Miramar), so we got to experience that too, and part of me liked the Mirimar better, in that it was MUCH quieter (I have 5 year old triplets and a 6 year old - I WANT R&R), and more laid back. Breakfast was served every morning in the smaller of the hotel's two kitchen areas. The choices were good as far as a continental breakfast goes. They had your breakfast basics, and lots of coffee, tea, and juice to choose from. The hotel had large sitting/meeting rooms, and a beautiful rooftop terrace with a hot tub. The pool was small but it served it's purpose. The hotel itself isn't on a huge lot of land so IMO they did a great job with what they had to work with. They've landscaped it really nicely so you feel like it's more open that it really is. We did a lot of roaming around the hotel, and one of my only gripes is that it's easy to get lost. LOL There was twists and turns and new hallways everywhere, but they all lead to an open area I recognized and so I was never truly freaking-out-lost. Overall, I would recommend Mirimar to someone staying in San Juan to experience the city, or to someone on a budget. Personally, I'm not big on architecture or history, and I wish we'd had beach access - that's more my thing. But again, you pay the big bucks for that. We did get to the beach while visiting my brother and his friends at La Concha, but it was a covert op since no one not staying at the hotel is supposed to be on that beach, so that was kind of a PITA, but also understandable since we were bending the rules. I have no idea if there are public beaches within a walk's distance of Mirimar, but there was plenty of shopping, restaurants, and even a Dunkin Donuts, like a beacon of light in the middle of a mysterious city. LOL (We went in November of 2011)

This is a Marriott hotel right on the beach in San Juan. There is a high resort fee but which beach…read morehotel doesn't these days. The hotel is lovely! There is plenty of seating places. I had to work in the lobby while they cleaned our room and the high tables made working easier. There is a fragrance in the lobby that irritates my allergies though. Front desk: service is hit or miss depending on who is working the front desk but all employees are professional. Arrival: we came by Uber and the staff is outside the car door ready to assist with luggage and whatever else you might have that needs to be unloaded. Bar: we received some drink vouchers. We ordered the free drink with passion fruit. Our bartender was a young man with curly hair and he made a great drink! Room: sleep quality is very good to excellent!! The hotel is always hopping and we were able to have a good night sleep. Only during our second night, did I briefly hear a neighbor slam a door, but other than that nothing. The door is very comfortable and large with plenty of seating and a nice balcony to see the ocean. We were here on work so not having a desk made work challenging but the coach really helped with the large table. It worked perfect! Mini fridge, safe, and nice Nespresso coffee machine. The room is surface clean meaning it appears clean, but if you wear white socks, they will turn black. A/C: there are some quirky setting on the A/C. If you don't put it on recirculate, the room will get hot at night. WIFI: It is hit and miss. Day 1 i had to use my phone as a hotspot to connect to a work call. Day 2 the WIFI was strong for my conference calls. Front room: nice large coach with separate TV but the window was weird and not very private but the extra sliding door helped. Bathroom: excellent lightening and vent fan in the bathroom. Very spacious. Room service: Make sure to put the sign on your door or room service can take a very long time to get to your room. After breakfast I put out the sign and I was serviced quickly within 2 hours. The first day I forgot to put out the sign and the room was not serviced until after 5pm. Pools: there is a nice pool and beach access.

Review is based on a four night stay. Overall, I recommend La Concha. It's a Marriott affiliate with some personality and class. Arrival: Arrived by Uber. Helpful doormen and luggage attendants. Check in: Overall good check in process. Marriott status acknowledged with a serious room upgrade to a suite. Room was not yet ready, and the receptionist gave us some free drink vouchers for the bar. Room (954): A spacious sweet. Living room included a colossal sectional, large TV, dresser, and breakfast table. The living room also included a Nespresso machine and a mini-refrigerator. Bedroom included a king bed with a bench and nightstands. One negative about this suite: lack of a desk. I was on business, and working from the sofa sectional got old fast. Bathroom: Excellent lighting. Spacious and clean shower. Bed: Decent but not great mattress. Sleep quality: Above average Patio: Nice patio with two chairs and a small table; really enjoyed drinking coffee on the patio watching the surf. WiFi: WiFi when it worked was generally fast. But I missed a video conference due to poor connectivity the day before we left. Housekeeping: Overall housekeeping was good, but the floors were not thoroughly cleaned before our arrival or during our stay. Pools and beach: Multiple pools to lounge by. Great poolside food and drink service. Nice beach (but it can be dangerous to swim at times) with typical seaweed issues. Staff: All of the hotel staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. Great staff overall! Value: Overall good value Overall common area cleanliness: Excellent Misc Tips: (1) There are many decent restaurants within walking distance. (2) There's a large grocery store called SuperMax about 1 mile away. It's worth the Uber fare to stock up on everything from alcohol to snacks (including gifts to take home, such as Puerto Rican coffee for $2.95 / 8 ounce pack

Swimmable beach- Hidden Exit from adult pool with beach chairs and towel service up to 5pm. Just ask the pool attendant to show you how to get there.

Pool attendants- Andliz and Alejandro gave excellent service and remembered my name (which is not an easy one) on day 2. Gym- a little hidden to the left of the main pool above the spa with a large variety of equipments overlooking the ocean. Great spot to get a workout on rainy days. Dining Ola restaurant- great for breakfast. Liza the hostess always had a smile on her face and remembered my name. Server Israel was very fast compared to others and friendly. Tacos and tequila- service by adult pool. The jalapeño margaritas were delicious. VC lounge- Anthony customized drinks to my liking. Main Lounge was a good area to hang out during rainy days with live performances on certain nights. Room- amazing views from the ocean tower room. Well appointed with a full bar with alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages as well as snacks that are replenished daily. House keeping did a good job cleaning daily. Location- 10 minutes uber ride to old San Juan and lots of restaurants within walking distance. Although pricey, I would definitely stay here again.

The only logical explanation is that this policy makes the room prices appear to cost about $200 a night less than the real charges. Otherwise, why not just raise the advertised price by 20%? There is no doubt the property is in a gorgeous location, sitting directly on the ocean. The buildings are in good condition and the staff is courteous. But, I experienced several shortfalls compared to my expectations for this price point. The suites are provided a "butler," but the available hours are 10am to 6pm. The service would be more accurately described as a concierge. Bringing coffee in the morning is not on the list of duties, nor assisting with unpacking or packing or other typical butler activities. Sending out laundry the day before my departure, I asked to have it folded so it would be easier to pack. Everything came back on hangers. My room did not receive turn-down service and fresh towels during the third night of my stay. I asked to have a car booked to the airport from the hotel. The butler got it backwards and booked it from the airport to the hotel. Good thing that I took a close look at the confirmation and noticed the routing was backwards. The breakfast restaurant, Ola, is extremely crowded in the morning with a 30 to 60 minute wait being typical in my experience. The front of the property is in a skeevy neighborhood so walking somewhere else for breakfast isn't a realistic option. It's not bad, but also not a top tier. property.

Hyatt House San Juan is that…read morerare mix of great value for money; excellent location; outstanding service; and big, comfortable, clean rooms and even "mini apartments." LOCATION: Less than a leisure 8-minute walk to everything the Distrito T-Mobile has to offer. Caribbean Cinemas with the latest U.S. blockbusters on offer (and $9.25/adult matinee tickets!); several local restaurants and bars with great selection and even better prices given its location in the San Juan Metro Area; and even full-size CASINOS (Casino Metro is 0.2 miles away and Casino Del Mar only 0.9 miles away; the nearby Sheraton also has a casino, only 0.2 miles away) and SPAS (Zen Spa being the closest). The hotel also offers a FREE SHUTTLE to Old San Juan and a nearby beach. Check their site or ask the front desk for its schedule. For anything else not within walking nor free-shuttle distance, Ubers are abundant and, quite honestly, pretty affordable! ROOMS: It's a Hyatt House, so these are the best. Lots of space, even in the basic den guestrooms that don't have a full kitchen (320 sq. ft. minimum!) -- they still have a good kitchenette. My room pictured here was in fact a King bed STUDIO kitchen suite, though. TRULY spacious (431 sq. ft.!). SERVICE: Norma at front desk is ALWAYS a rockstar. I was here on a different extended stay a couple of months ago and, when I reminded Norma that it was Grandma lady, she immediately asked how my grandma was doing and got so sad when I shared the news that she unfortunately passed soon after. Not only excellent customer service, but true empathy -- these people have hearts of gold. Speaking of great service: SAMUEL at the breakfast area is always such a sweetheart, making sure you have everything and anything you may need, even if you are a bit of a latecomer to breakfast. I had just checked in when they were starting to clean out breakfast items and he asked me if there's anything I needed that was in the back and brought me iced apple juice -- no questions asked and with a big smile on his face. I had been living through a heavy week of cancelations all over the world (lost nearly 4 vacay days) and Samuel has no idea what a big deal his "small" gesture was to me! ¡MUCHAS GRACIAS! FOOD: This is the only area where there's plenty of room for improvement. The scrambled eggs and potatoes offered in the breakfast buffet were really really dry, and no cheese to add -- so that was a big bummer. The oatmeal was on the runny side, but I like it that way. Definitely arrive early so you can enjoy the made-to-order omelet station, which is much better than what's offered outside. In short: MOST DEFINITELY stay here! This is my husband and I's home base whenever we're in town. 5*!

So the hotel... we initially checked into a room on the third floor. While checking for bedbugs (no remnants seen) I noticed the side of the mattress had mold (see photo). We immediately went back downstairs and informed the front desk. They changed our room to the 6th floor and had room service go in and review the room and re-mop the floors before we came up. No issues were found in the new room. I will say the hotel breakfast was one of the best hotel breakfast meals I've had. The potatoes were hot, fresh, and delicious. I had breakfast the second morning at the convention center and kept thinking I should have grabbed it at the hotel (their food was full of grease). We planned to use the pool more but maybe it was just me but it appeared to be more resort like online and was just a pool with kid area in person.

Everything we wanted to go see was within walking distance. Literally no more than 8mins away. Sadly, the day we were leaving I was persuaded by the guy at the front desk to allow him to get a taxi for me. There was a 3 day festival coming and he says Uber/Lyft won't be able to make it to us because they are clearing the street to get ready. However Uber showed someone can come take us to the airport for $9. Anyway, I let the guy call his taxi person. Got to the airport and I felt like I got ripped off. Charged me $40. That was a slap in the face. Why align your hotel with a shady taxi service??? For the money and location this honestly isn't a bad spot. We just needed a safe place to sleep close to where we wanted to walk to.

I contacted maintenance about the A/C and taking over 12 hr to cool down to 65-68°. They said from their side, everything is working as is. Odd response, especially for the fact that it seemed cooler in the hallway than it did in my room. For the entire stay, my room remained at 70° despite what I set the temperature at. Lastly, the F&B credit issue. I came downstairs for breakfast 2/3 days. The last day, I decided to order it to my room. To my surprise, I was charged for the final breakfast because I got it ordered to my room. This wasn't shared at time of check in--that your F&B credit will not be triggered if you order breakfast to your room. Other annoyances like coming downstairs for breakfast on the second day and being asked twice if I had the F&B credit and then having to go to the front desk for them to tell the cafe staff that I do have the credit...this was not okay. Also, the omelette station is supposed to be open until 11a. Everytime I came downstairs for breakfast, it was closed. When I asked for an omelette, the staff seemed like it was a hassle to get the worker to come and make the omelette even though it was during the time of availability. As a frequent customer of Hilton, I just expected a different experience, especially for my first time in San Juan.

Traveling with my son-in-law, Tyler, who uses a power wheelchair, requires significant planning, and this team made our experience both seamless and surprisingly affordable. The absolute highlight was Tyler accessing the ocean and the pool. The staff was proactive and highly trained in handling his equipment, ensuring safe and respectful transfers for the pool lifts. Thanks to the hotel's accessible equipment--specifically the floating beach chair, which was remarkably stable and easy for us to maneuver Tyler across the sand and into the protected bay that front's the hotel - he was able to get into the ocean for the first time in over 15 years. It was a life-changing memory our family will cherish forever. Once in the water, the experience continued to be fantastic; the pool and beach team consistently provided floats for Tyler so he could relax comfortably. We were also incredibly grateful that the team saved lounge chairs for our party of four each day, ensuring we never had to worry about finding seating. It was truly amazing service. Beyond the facilities, the location is ideal. The food recommendations provided by the concierge were not only excellent but located within easy, accessible "rolling" distance. The paths to these local dining spots were smooth, well-maintained, and free of challenging curbs, allowing us to enjoy San Juan without the stress of transit logistics. As a seasoned world traveler, I don't often see this level of genuine care. The staff's proactive attitude regarding accessibility makes this property stand out. If you are looking for a beautiful destination that is truly committed to inclusivity, I cannot recommend the Caribe Hilton highly enough.

Many others helped too, too many to name. We'd already paid and it was the busiest long weekend, so options were limited. But the staff did everything they could, and that's the main reason this is 3 stars instead of 1 -- the property didn't match our 2014 experience, but the people absolutely did.

This was a really nice hotel in Condado area. Not too far from the airport, Morocco, old San Juan…read more There are scooters everywhere in this area. The hotel has a parking lot. The restaurant and pool are in the PH (roof) of the hotel. Food is OK at the hotel. A bit pricy but that's what you get in this part of town. There are a few restaurants in the area. There is a coffee and dessert place right down stairs on the corner. Good stuff. Quesitos, empanadas, desserts, breakfast, and a few other things to eat. Note: if you like flavored coffee, bring some flavored creamer. They don't have any and neither does the hotel. The welcome was nice. The check in was pleasent. They really tried to inform me of everything. Very helpful. The rooms are pretty nice. I was on the 6th floor and had a nice view. It was quiet and easy to get around the hotel. The bed was comfy. The room was nice size. I had a balcony. Nice bathroom. TV's x2. Sitting room with a desk. Everything was excellent. The entire staff was very nice. The front desk, restaurants, breakfast, maids, everyone. I had a good 4 day stay. I recommend.

We stayed at the AC Hotel Condado in San Juan from Saturday, April 25 to Saturday, May 2. As…read moreMarriott Rewards members, we wanted to stay at a Marriott property, and we also wanted to be close to Isla Verde, where I stayed the last time I was in San Juan. We considered the San Juan Marriott Resort and the Courtyard by Marriott, but we felt the AC Hotel was in a better location for us. After visiting all three major Marriott properties during our trip, the AC is the quietest. If that is important to you, then it is worth considering. It was important to us, and we were happy that it was not overrun with guests, especially in the rooftop pool area. When our car service dropped us off around 10:00 p.m., there was no wait to check in. We walked straight to the front desk and got our room keys. The front desk staff were very friendly throughout our entire stay, and we appreciated that. When we checked in, I was a little surprised by the mandatory 45 dollar daily resort credit, called a destination fee, that was added to our bill each day. We were required to pay it, then spend it in the hotel at various locations, breakfast excluded. If we did not use the credit each day, it was lost. We felt this was an unnecessary burden, which limited our ability to support local businesses and reduced our options. Our room on the eighth floor was very spacious, and it had a living room, a bedroom, and a balcony with chairs. The room was great, but the thermostat had strict limits, so we were never able to adjust the air conditioning to our preferred temperature. It always felt warm in the room, which I assume was due to energy conservation controls. We had a partial ocean view, which was better than most partial views I have had at other hotels. The view was great for photos and videos, especially during sunset. You could also hear the waves crashing on the beach, even though the hotel is not located directly on the water. There are a lot of roosters roaming around the area near the property, so we got the unofficial 5:00 a.m. wake-up call from them. It was a little disruptive at first, but after a day or two, we were able to tune them out. I want to give a sincere shout out to the housekeeping service. It was outstanding. Every day, our housekeeper came before noon and left the room looking like we had just checked in. It was some of the best housekeeping I have experienced at a Marriott property, and it really added to our stay. We tipped well, because they truly deserved it. The rooftop pool was another highlight. It was usually busy, but never overwhelming. We went several times, and we always found a chair or a couch to relax on. The staff at the food and beverage counter were friendly and efficient, but there were no poolside servers. Most mornings, we ate breakfast at Sobao, which is located at the front of the hotel, and you enter from outside. The food was delicious, and the dining room was always full and lively. The service was great, but they have two different lines depending on what you want to order, which was a little confusing. Unfortunately, we did have one experience that was disappointing. On Thursday, April 30, we tried to have dinner at La Bodeguita, the main on site restaurant. It was 8:30 p.m., and even though there were open tables, we were told we had to sit at the bar. The bartender gave us water and menus, then never returned to take our order. We saw him waiting on tables, checking his phone, and standing around, but he never came back. We were dressed for fine dining, so we didn't understand what the issue was. After almost twenty minutes, we left and went up to the rooftop restaurant, Bar C Lona. It was crowded, and there was only one bartender serving everyone, but she was friendly and working hard. The food was great, and we were glad the evening turned around after the issue at La Bodeguita. Overall, we were incredibly happy with the location of the hotel, the room layout, the housekeeping, the front desk staff, the rooftop pool, and Sobao. We were less happy with the poor service at La Bodeguita, the mandatory destination fee, the rooster wake up calls, and the thermostat restrictions. We would not rule out another stay at the AC Hotel Condado, because the pros outweighed the cons, but next time we will probably try either the San Juan Marriott Resort or the Courtyard by Marriott Miramar, mainly for their direct beach access. This review is meant to provide honest feedback about our experience, both to help future guests and to highlight areas where the hotel could improve.
