The server was completely informative and nice. I would so go back again the pizza was fresh and came out of the brick oven for everyone to see because the restaurant has a kind of open floor concept where you can see them cooking the pizza pies which I thought was great it's a great place to come with friends family or just by yourself. There is also a bar for you to sit at if you don't want to get a table. The wait was long because a lot of people want to come here and eat and vibe out but it was worth it the food was amazing! Can't wait to come back when I visit Puerto Rico again!

We had the staff chose what pizza for us to eat and I'm so glad we did, THANK YOU GUYS FOR THIS EXPERIENCE AND YOUR HOSPITALITY

Our Server was really great and never rushed us throughout our visit. The restaurant itself is really big, yet has a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. Love the Plantains hanging all over. The Cuisine is a good variety of Carribean Creole, which I absolutely love. For appetizers, we had Bacalaitos and Queso Frito and for my main dish, I had the Milanesa with Rice and Beans. I wasn't crazy about the sauce and cheese on top of the Milanesa, but it was still good. Both of the appetizers were amazing! El Platanal has various locations, with the one in Carolina being the original. I really enjoyed the ambiance and the menu has alot to choose from, so I look forward to coming back and trying other items on the menu.

Loved the tropical all Plantain theme and how spacious this spot is. They have live music during the day and it gets really busy. I'm sure it's a fun spot. The servers were helpful and friendly as always in Puerto Rico. We ordered Arroz manpostiado with turkey but you could also order pork instead. Rice was good. The Octopus salad was $25 good size portion. The fried cheese with guava sauce and mozzarella cheese sticks as appetizers were ok. The plantain soup ironically did not taste like plantain. Was not good. The texture was just off more like gooey. Not sure maybe because it was a rainy night not too many people but food was not the best. We did not try the authentic Puerto Rican dishes such as Mofongo as it was way late at night for heavy food. The place looks great for birthday celebrations and great for big gatherings.

This is a beautiful rooftop bar with both an indoor and outdoor area. Unfortunately, it was…read moreinsanely too hot to go outside and relax by the pool in the early afternoon hours. However, it was nice that the indoor area was well attended and served beautiful drinks to enjoy. All in all, I wish that there was some sort of covering outside so that you could enjoy the view and the lagoon while sipping on a drink. But perhaps that's inevitable given the glaring sun. All in all, beautiful hotel and decor. I'd definitely be back.

We were a party of 7 adults who wanted to enjoy the sunset, some food, and drinks, celebrating a birthday. Making a reservation was easy as was dropping off at valet. The rooftop now has an actual roof, which took away a lot of the open sky, but it is still open enough to see it without being affected by rain. Service was fantastic, as were drinks. On this trip, the appetizers were great and the main entrees were okay. From what I heard, the entire concept will be changing after they shut down in mid-November and re-open in December. I look forward to returning in 2026.

We accidentally made a resy for the wrong group size but were seated immediately and only requested to wrap up in an hour or so. Service is king here, friendly transparent and helpful.
