Hyatt Vacation Club at Hacienda del Mar, Dorado

10/10 Excellent

"The staff at the resort were very helpful especially Lenny who helped us throughout our stay. The restaurant staff were awesome. Kudos to Hector, Wesley, Manuel and Glen who provided excellent service and the food was tasty and presented well."

The Royal Sonesta San Juan

10/10 Excellent

"We had a King Room with ocean view and it was very nice and clean, our view was beautiful! Just to note, although there is a balcony off of this room, you aren’t really able to sit out there, the balcony isn’t really separate from the room itself, so if the slider door is open the air shuts off in the room. The hotel was also very clean with nice amenities. Loved the location, great beach access and the pool is awesome. There was some issues with the elevators while we were there, but it wasn’t anything that we felt the need to complain about. We were on vacation, so things could always be worse. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would stay again and recommend to others."
