There were 5 of us...3 in one room and 2 in the other. We stayed at this hotel before our Cruise. It was a tiny tiny room but we were only in Puerto Rico for 2nights/2days. The only time we were at the hotel was to change and sleep. We were on a tight budget and this certainly helped us... more

We stayed at El Canario By the Sea from Feb 13th -20th. MY brother had stayed at this hotel before. He really liked it, said its nothing fancy, but it is clean & close to the beach.

Our toilet did not flush and we contacted the person at the front desk who told us to go get the plunger across the hallway. We walked across the hallway and didn't find a plunger. We told the person at the front desk this and... more

We had some minor issues with hot water, but they were 4 of us using shower pretty much one after the other. The location is perfect, in between Condado ave., close to... more

The neighborhood was safe and clean. There was a decent continental... more
