What made this hotel is the outdoors! The pool, the access to the beach from hotel was great! The room was a little dated but it was clean. 40 minutes to airport & Old San Juan. They did have pickle ball courts right across the street, that was an added plus.

The hotel rooms are very spacious and well maintained. It’s connected to another hotel’s swimming pool, which is a nice added benefit, yet it still feels comfortable and private. We stayed in a 1 BHK apartment for two adults and one child, and it was more than sufficient for our needs. The front desk staff speaks English, which is definitely a plus. Overall, we had a pleasant 5-day stay. The only downside is that the hotel is about 40–45 minutes away from most major attractions, including Old San Juan.

This is a hidden gem for those looking for a beautiful, relaxing, less crazy beach vacation! The pool, pool bar and quiet beach were great and exactly what I needed. We walked to a few restaurants and then Ubered back each time. A great way to experience the local culture. Also spent a day in Old San Juan but was very happy to come back to this peaceful place. Our balcony faced the sunrise and the view of the property and ocean were amazing. I’m so happy I found this place!

Not a bad hotel to stay a few days, the pool was nice . You have to rent a car when you stay here, it’s about 45 minutes from San Juan airport. While there you can explore other beaches like Cerro Gordo public beach, crashed boat beach, take the ferry to Flamenco Beach and many others. It’s very misleading when you check the reviews and read some terrible ones. This place was nice!

This property offered great value for a family vacation. However alot of the amminities are hit and miss. Our room had a great jacuuzi tub, great microwave and over all worked well. However our washer machine and dryer didnt work, and the bathroom had issues a few times. If you plan on seeing Puerto Rico and not just staying at a resort this will do nicely for the price and you wont be in the room long enough to care that a few ammenities were missing which was my families experience. Great place to sleep. Nice beach and pool area as well.

Hotel was beautiful, pool area and access to beach was nice as well but the room itself needed a lot of updates. The shower faucet was hanging on a thread came off multiple times when using, the light fixtures were not working, there was no outlets immediate to the beds, overall if they work on upgrading their rooms it would be a better experience.

Pool and beach area that are shared with Embassy Suites were excellent. The restaurants at Embassy were lovely and the staff was extremely friendly. Had issues at check in, we were given a room that was already occupied but it was correcred quickly. Rooms and hotel are outdated but for the amount of time we spent in the room it was fine for the price. A little surprised that the housekeeping staff went through my daughters bag and they actually removed some food we had in our room.
