Stayed at a beautiful 2 bedroom apartmentVisited: January 2008
Posted by jennydc
The building has 6 units. We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment. The apartment had internet, flat screen tv with cable, air conditioning, bathroom a beautiful kitchen with a dishwashing machine which made it so easy to keep our place together. The apartment was very clean, both bedrooms had huge closet space and a laundry room right next to the apartment. The owner was very friendly and hospitable. We definitely had a much needed winter getaway weekend! We recommend this place.

I believe my credit card information was stolen while I was here.Visited: December 2008

I got back home to find out after having a hold placed on my credit card for two rooms and supposedly removed when I checked out, that someone was trying to use my information while I was there. They tried placing a $200 and a $75 charge for a timeshare to my card.
The credit card company notified me, and this caused me lots of stress two days before Christmas. My card had to be canceled - and they still tryed to use it afterward!
I will never ever recommend this place to my worst enemy!

This place is not suitable for handicapped people.Visited: December 2008

We just got back from this resort. My husband and I had a great room. However, the handicapped accessible room for my mother was horrible! She could barely get her electric wheel chair into the room, which left no room to walk. She could not even turn the chair around in the room.
If it weren't for the bell hop moving a piece of furniture forward (just barely enough room (inches), her chair would have blocked her way to the bathroom. I guess because they put a peep hole at wheel chair level, this qualified it for the handicap seal. I don't suggest you stay here if you or someone in your party is handicapped.

The third time is definitely a charm!Visited: October 2008

I travel to Puerto Rico more than once a year. This is my third time staying at this place, and I love it. I stayed in a beautiful one-bedroom apartment.
It's only a five-minute cab drive away from the airport. Each time I come here, there's always something remodeled.
Also, the owner is very nice and welcoming.
I definitely would recommend it.

Guesthouse 57 is just a few minutes away from the airport, and a short walk to the beach. It is very laid back, quiet, and super clean.
I stayed in a beautiful studio. The owner is very welcoming.
In addition, there are various places to eat in the area, and lots of cool people. It's definitely a very central location. Old San Juan's a few minutes away.
My husband and I were very happy with our vacation! We definitely recommend it to other couples.

We just returned today from a weekend vacation in San Juan. We stayed in a two-bedroom unit, and it was amazing. It was very close to San Juan's night life.
Also, the owner is very helpful and is extremly funny! Good times!

It's not even a one-star -buyer beware!Visited: December 2008

Not only was this a bed and breakfast (it was not a hotel), it was dirty and in need of repairs. There were unscrupulous employees working here.
We were put in a room that we could hardly walk around in. It was very small. The walls looked like a two-year-old had scribbled on them; it smelled; and paint was peeling off the ceiling. I could go on.
The most important thing -I will be careful since I do not know how much is allowed here -be careful about leaving your credit card number. Three days after I returned home (to California) there were charges made to my credit card that were made in Puerto Rico. That was the only place I used the card.
It was very disappointing.

It was lousy with no hot water! I give it lower than one star.Visited: December 2008
Posted by hankwebb
The rooms were small, but were right on the beach. There was no hot water evening or morning - I was in room 302. There was no hot water in room 304 either - not early morning, nor evening.
The staff was friendly, and said they would get it fixed - but I think it is a long standing problem. On my last day, the water went from cold to luke warm and back to cold. The hotel staff said "Let it run". For how long - five minutes?
Just get it fixed! Don't stay here until the water temperature is fixed!

The pool is about the size of my bathtub; the employees just ignore you when you are at the front desk; and it is in the middle of a terrible section of Puerto Rico.
In addition, it's not really on the beach - it's across the street from the beach. It's dirty and disgusting, and smells like cigarettes. I couldn't even stay for a night. Also, there was construction being done right outside the hotel, and I couldn't even take a nap when I got off the plane.
I decided to go to Condado and stay at a really nice hotel called La Concha. It was the same amount of money, yet it was a million times better.
I think this place is a rip off and a scam. Don't come here, trust me! I came, I saw, and I quickly left.

This is the perfect place to bring the romance back to your marriage.Visited: October 2008

Gallery Inn is a romantic jewel in Old San Juan. My husband and I fell in love again while staying at The Gallery Inn.
The gardens and pool terrace were the perfect setting to spend days relaxing, and the rooms were so comfortable, unique and charming. Each room was artistically designed by the owner, and the staff really seemed to consider where to place you based on your specific needs.
There were no TVs or in room Internet, so there was no distraction from romance. The honor bar was well stocked, and the coffee was fantastic. Also, each evening the owners asked us to join them for wine and cheese, and helped us decide where to have the perfect dinner.
The nightlife in Old San Juan is mature and all within walking distance. This place was simply lovely and good for my marriage!

I went to Puerto Rico with my friend, and stayed in this amazing gem. We wanted to stay in different areas (Isla Verde, Old San Juan, etc.), so we planned to stay at Oceana only one night. We got an amazing deal, $89 for a room that overlooked the waterfall in the back.
We ended up going to different places, but always came back to Oceana as the price, quality of the service and rooms were the best. We had great breakfast, amazing coffee, and all smiles from all the staff.
I would walk to the beach in less than a minute, which isn't bad if you don't mind walking next to graffiti walls (but it was not scary). It would take you five minutes if you'd rather go around the graffiti.
It was amazing. I would stay here again in a heart beat.

I stayed in San Juan Beach Hotel for a weekend in September 2008.
The hotel was very modest. The room was furnished with very old furniture, and the curtains had holes. But considering the star rating, I wouldn’t expect anything more. That is not the point.
The point is that the hotel service was absolutely horrible. From day one, my friend and I had nothing but problems. The entrance to the beach was locked. It took them one full day (and that was after our repeated requests) to open the door.
The highlight of the stay was the professional camera disappearing from my room without a trace. We left for a couple of hours, and upon our return, the camera was gone - so was the old mp3 player that was inside my backpack – so whoever stole it went through my stuff!
Well, even if these items were not stolen by the hotel staff, they were definitely stolen by someone who had access to the room key since the door lock wasn’t broken.
We reported the incident to the hotel personnel immediately, and that was when the nightmare started. First, I was told that the hotel had nothing to do with it, and that upon check-in we signed a paper according to which the hotel was not responsible for valuables stored in the room.
But even so, some concern would be nice. Instead, the person we were dealing with was extremely rude and insulting.

Since the moment you arrive at the hotel, you feel like you are home with all the greetings and smiles.
The restaurant, Tangerine, was in the lobby floor with excellent food and quality service. The elevators with waterfalls caught my impression. This was really cool! Also, the wet bar was at the roof top with a spectacular view of Isla Verde and the ocean.
On the weekends, they had DJs playing upstairs. It was great! We had a problem with our AC, but it was fixed right away. In addition, the general manager, David, apologized to us and offered free drinks for this inconvenience. He was great! All of the staff were great.
I truly recommend this hotel to everyone!

I love this hotel so much. It's located in front of the beach with free beach towels, chairs and umbrellas. There is a beach waitress who serves you something to drink or eat. Kevin, the beach guy, is awesome, too. In fact, everything is great -especially the roof top bar with that spectacular view!
I will really recommend for everybody to stay at this spectacular hotel - and the people are so friendly!

A San Juan travel review
Wyndham Hotel in Isla Verde is impressive.
Posted by ramver
The Wyndham El San Juan Hotel and Casino in Isla Verde is one of the most popular hotels in Puerto Rico. Once you arrive, you get full accommodation, and access to all the amenities for corporate and guess hospitality.
The rooms have full accommodation and facilities as any five-star hotel - including recreation (like casino, a cigar room, a night time pool, Jacuzzi and more). You also have access to the beach.
Also, the Wyndham Hotel has one the best night life in the city.

This was a memorable experience!Visited: August 2008
Posted by hannahdickson
The Water and Beach Club was a wonderful hotel with lovely people! From the moment we arrived, the bellmen greeted us at the door with a big smile, and the front desk staff was amazing with their wonderful service.
The room was awesome! It was a little small for the accommodations, but we were not there all the time. The TV didn't work well due to weather conditions, but it was fixed inmediately.
Our check out day was really sad. We didn't wanted to go. We made so many friends at this hotel!
You will love the service here, and the way they treat you. It's like home. Thank you Water and Beach Club for making my experience memorable. We will come back with our kids!
