Find 4-Star Hotels in San Juan

DO NOT STAY HERE. This massive resort feels tired and worn but that is the least of the problems. The pool was completely unusable. It was FREEZING. You cannot get in it at all, it was as though they pumped in frigid water every night. On some extremely hot days during one of the busiest times of year, absolutely no one was in the pool. Everyone was complaining about it and my daughter was heartbroken because it was what she looked forward to the most and after maybe 5 minutes her lips were purple and she had to get out. Then, there was the ”free” breakfast. It is only free if you are willing to wait on a line that is a mile long. People waited for almost an hour just to receive their promised free breakfast. We chose not to. The manager kindly gave us a credit after I complained but turned out that credit could only be applied to other resort restaurants that arent even open for breakfast! (in all fairness, after I complained about that as well, they applied the credit elsewhere). One of the elevators in our wing wasnt working- there was lines just to get on the elevator, nor was the ice machine or vending machine working. Despite the size of the resort, they didnt have the staff or resources to serve all of the guests- It was impossible to get a beach or pool chair, there was a long wait for room and pool service (I waited an hour for ceviche which isnt even cooked), and on our last day they suddenly implemented a bag search policy which resulted in a line just to get to the pool/beach area. And just to add insult to injury- I was charged $30 for a bottle of sunblock Some good things about it: - Very close to Old San Juan - Staff was friendly, despite their inability to properly serve guests Photo: Completely empty pool because who could swim in freezing water?

Compared with other hotels in the same area, it is leading in all aspects. If you do not consider the price factor, Marriott's experience is perfect.  Independent beach, beautiful swimming pool, good service, convenient transportation, dining and supermarket at the door.  If you don't consider the price, the only hotel in the same area is the Ritz-Carlton.

When staying at Double Tree By Hilton San Juan, my hubby and i had the best experience ever. I don’t know why anyone would ever disagree. The staff was friendly, the entire area was clean and COVID friendly, and there was even daily complimentary water and transportation to the beach which is within walking distance of the hotel. The hotel even offers beach towels, beach chair, and an umbrella! I had a blast!

Hotels in San Juan are generally on the expensive side. This one is relatively cost-effective. The hardware is OK, there are supermarkets and restaurants within 10 minutes' walk, and you can go to the beach to enjoy another parasol and chair provided by Marriot. There is a $45 credit per day to order food by the panhouse pool. There are a lot of staff, and when I arrived at the hotel, someone helped with valet parking. When I checked in, I was told that I didn't know when the room would be ready. I specifically reminded me that I wanted a quiet room. Someone skillfully helped store the luggage. As soon as we sat down for dinner, we received a text message saying that the room was ready. It turned out that the room was directly opposite the elevator, which was very noisy. On the first night, I was woken up by two knocks on the door at 3:30 in the middle of the night, and there was no one outside. I told the front desk early in the morning, and I received a thoughtful text message in the morning asking if I was satisfied with the stay. I said someone knocked on the door and informed the front desk, and the reply was polite and said that I would investigate. I didn't get a reply when I left the hotel. There was a towel in the hotel that was wet and I didn't dare to use it. If you park by yourself, you have to go to the entrance with the parking ticket and ask the staff to manually fill in the room number and name and charge the room in the system, and then you can exit from another parking lot. It seems that all the services are superficial. Check-in and parking could have been smoother. Guests' requests for rooms should not be ignored. Knocking on the door in the middle of the night should give timely answers.

It was an excellent hotel. The front desk staff was extremely helpful—a special thanks to Alejandra and also to a young guy (how I wish I would remember his name) at the concierge desk- who made my trip memorable by guiding me to do some fun things on this short trip.

One of the reason we booked your hotel is that we called the customer service and they told us you could keep our luggage for more than one day. However, you didn’t do that. We have four 28 inch suitcases and we need to find another place to keep them even though we have reservation again after two days. That was a terrible experience!

Generally speaking, the room is large, but the details are very rough, really not luxury, the advantage is that there is valet parking, and the breakfast is also good. PS: The picture on the wall has fallen off.

The location is great, located in the old town, only a 10-minute walk from the castle, and also close to the so-called ”Umbrella Street”, in short, it is convenient to go everywhere. The hotel itself is OK, and it also has a sense of history, but we only stayed for one night, and the overall feeling was good.

Its a very clean hotel with many places to eat within walking distance as well as a movie theater, grocery store, and pharmacy down the street. It has a nice restaurant and rooftop pool that is very relaxing. The room was clean and had an ice maker, large sink and refrigerator. The only things I would improve are the lighting in the rooms - its somewhat dim if you need to do some work - they only have lamps and one small accent light in the ceiling - at least in the room I was in. The bathroom sink in my room was very small- couldn't hold toothbrush, razor, etc on it like most sinks. Those are small inconveniences - overall it's a very nice place to stay, the staff is very friendly and helpful and the location was great.
