This hotel was perfect for what we wanted out of a family beach trip. It has ocean front rooms, oa beautiful pool and is right on the beach. Rooms were clean, and serviced daily. Lots of dining options, in a safe location. and only 15 min Uber to old San Juan. We had a great stay here and will be back. The only issue we had was only 1/3 elevators worked, so waiting for an elevator was a pain all week.

We had a wonderful anniversary stay and especially enjoyed the location right on the beach. We upgraded to a terrace room which really improved our views and access to the pool, restaurants, and beach. The on-site restaurants were fine, not great, and priced higher than the quality of the food; however, the exception customer service made the trip.

Beautiful resort. Amazing beach access with included umbrellas and chairs. Bar drinks were great! I do wish there was a filtered water station indoors but understand the water shortage happening. The breakfast buffet was disappointing. The food was not that great and the omelette station was incredibly slow. My husband did not choose the buffet and loved his eggs Benedict though.
