Hotel El Convento
This is the perfect place to stay in Old San Juan. It is in the middle of everything, and is beautiful and comfortable in every way. We especially loved having coffee each morning outside on the terrace over-looking the park.

Caribe Hilton
Pools and grounds are gorgeous. The whole place has a beautiful resort feel. Ocean view is the best on the north shore—crashing surf on two sides and calm swimming lagoon to the west.

Hyatt Vacation Club at Hacienda del Mar, Dorado
If they had more water toys: masks, snorkels, body surfing boards, the kids would have had more fun.

The Royal Sonesta San Juan
This hotel was great but I will say it was expensive. When you’re paying 400+ a night, seems like they could throw in free parking or breakfast without charging another 35 a day on top of what you’re already paying. That said, the staff was excellent and the property was gorgeous. No complaints ...

San Juan Marriott Resort and Stellaris Casino
Everyone on staff is polite and friendly- whoever does the hiring for these people is spot on! Last year I stayed in a nice hotel in Isla Verde but I missed the Marriott Stelaris (where I had stayed around 8 or 9 times). So I came back this year and was very happy to be there. Superior service.
