Just got back from a 4 day weekend at the hotel. After reading all of the negative reviews I was very hesitant to stay. I have to say the this was one of the top hotel experiences I have ever had. I am a Hilton Gold and Marriott Platinum and I am on the road most of the year so... More

Stayed at the El San Juan in early May 2013 with my wife and two sons (9&6). Let me start by saying that this historic hotel is beautiful. The lobby, the pools, the gardens, were all excellent. The casino was nice, although I don't gamble and isla verde beach was great. The attention to details in the common areas were... More

I have stayed in this resort several times in the past 13 years. I doubt we will stay there again until they remodel. This was once a charming, elegant hotel. The rooms were remodeled a few years ago with a modern, white, plastic theme. The lobby still has the deep, rich elegant feel but the rooms seem out of place.... More

I've been vacationing at this hotel at least once a year for the past 5 yrs. For the 2nd time in a row; this year I'm making a 2nd trip back because I loved it soo much. The vibe of the crowd is amazing, service is excellent & the rooms I prefer: Garden Lanais 1st floor ONLY which are all... More

My girlfriend and I went for a vacation and decided to stay at this hotel. I read the reviews on trip advisor and they were not so good. I should have listened to the reviews. I know people who stayed at this hotel and liked it. So I went by their review. The hotel hallways were dirty, the carpet was... More

How is the mode ranking 5 stars? Have people stayed at other hotels? Comments. Bad: 1. This hotel is severely dated both the lobby, but especially the the rooms. 2. As others have noted the walls are paper thin. I mean normal volume and you can literally hear EVERYTHING. 3. The room decor is straight from the 1980s. This is... More

Stayed at the El San Juan last week with a few girlfriends for a quick getaway. The place was very clean, and the staff very friendly and hospitable. Our room was very nice, except the bathroom was tiny. We had dinner at Koco and La Piccola Fontana in the hotel---both excellent restaurants with a very nice atmosphere, great service and... More

This is an awesome looking hotel, and I was excited about staying here, however constant noise every night was a huge distraction. The room walls weren't insulated or something. If you are going to San Juan to party, then this hotel is for you. If you're there for business, you probably won't sleep well do to constant noise through the... More
