The hotel was beautiful. Nice views, accessible to food and stores near by and a short drive to Viejo San Juan area. We utilized uber and never paid more than $18 for one way to Viejo San Juan. The staff were friendly and gave great recommendations. I would definitely stay here again.

The resort had place to walk and dine and purchase goids if needed. The downside is that they need more leaderahip training for staff. Example: At the beach things were a little distributing because people were debateing who was next in line and the staff had no way of controlling this moment But there were some bright spots as well during my stay.

Nice resort, not greatest part of town. Had some silly rules. Had a nice deck between the pool and the beach, but they wouldn't let us sit there, no signs, just told us to move away. Closed pool and hot tub by 9 PM. Some wait staff got "tunnel vision". Suspect the drinks were on the light side.

It was nicely updated, recently remodeled. Beach loungers readily available, pool-didn’t even try-the pool stakeouts must have started at 4:00 AM. Anyway I didn’t care, I can go to a pool inland anywhere. My only suggestion would be to have more beach restaurant and drink servers. There was one and sometimes non. The area around the resort had mostly fast food dining options-not great.
