Staying in Old San Juan at Hotel El Convento was a fabulous experience. It is an island of relaxation and peace on the island. Everything was suberb, from the ambience to the furnishings, amenities, and staff. Personnel at the front desk were knowledgeable about the city and eager to help in any way-when we returned from a walk rather hot... More

If you prefer the city to the beach, this is the perfect place to stay. And if you still want to go tanning at the sea you can hop in a cab and drive to the Marriott which has a deal with the hotel. The reception was very accommodating in helping to make dinner reservations.

From the moment I walked into the foyer I was in love. What a fantasticl place! The architecture, the art, the location, the bar, the 3rd floor salon, the room, the wine & cheese reception... all fantastic. The hallways open to the courtyard below where the little fountains scattered about echo all around. There's a glass sound proof door between... More

We stayed at El Convento for 4 nights. Its a 300 yrs old convent converted into a hotel. The hotel is beautiful and charming.

The hotel is beautiful and service has been great. Unfortunately, we're in room 508 which has nice views, but is right next to the plunge pool and hot tub. The motor is really loud and the extra door to keep out the noise from the hall does absolutely no good in this case. Since the pool and hot tub are... More

When we originally were looking for pre and post-cruise hotels in San Juan we discounted El Convento due to the cost. We were pleasantly surprised to find an excellent mid-week package for our Sunday and Monday post-cruise stay. So reasonable, in fact, that the price was equal to or better than some comparable, popular properties. All of the positives of... More
