I booked this hotel for myself and two friends, as a one-night stay in San Juan before catching a plane the next morning. We had spent four nights in Condado earlier in the trip, so our primary objective in staying here was not to have a spot from which to explore San Juan, but just to have a place to... more

I stood in Coral By the Sea for 2 nights and that was enough. The location is superb it could not get any better. I was suprised when I saw a flat screen in the room.

I quickly got over the ugly bed spreads and lack... more

However, on three out of five days our room was never made up, at times the hot water would stop working (which was horrible if you had just made it back from the beach and were planning... more

After reading some of the negative about Coral by the Sea Hotel I was a bit hesistant to stay there. Being on a tight budget and only needing one night in Puerto Rico I threw caution to the wind and decided I will stay there. I was very much pleasantly surprise by the staff eagerness to serve. At least 4... more
