"Beachfront Haven...Great tropical atmosphere!"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 26, 2013
A lovely tropical and Thai fusion decor. The staff were extremely friendly and eager to help. The hotel was right on the beach with plenty of seating and mingling areas that were cozy and inviting. At night it had a romantic ambiance with candles and lights. A DJ provided music throughout the day and into the early evening. The restaurant had good food and tropical drinks and was reasonably price. Stores and restaurants were in walking distance. Ocean Park is a lovely and safe environment. Highly recommended!
"Close to everything we needed"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 24, 2013
As always, we enjoyed our stay in this simple, out f the way, hotel.
"Quaint place, very comfortable, super staff"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 23, 2013
Thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of the stay. Room was cool and comfortable, the decorations throughout we're funky and enjoyable. Taxi driver had a hard time finding the location from address alone; print out a Mapquest map to show the driver and should be me problem. Do NOT drive your own or rental in Old San Juan - there is no parking to be found. Really. Hotel has a minimal do-it-yourself breakfast.
"Good hotel, bad casino"
Casino was not as advertised, very small and no craps tables. Manager's special had decent drinks but the snacks were disappointing, and the lines were way too long. Hotel overall was nice and close enough to the beach, and the pool was very nice.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Nice Hotel in a Tourist District"
We arrived early in the day, prior to room availability. Staff allowed us to check our luggage and gave us a guest pass to use the pool area. When we were given our room, and discovered someone had been smoking in it, the staff was great at reassigning us a true non-smoking room very quickly. The pool area is nice - what you'd expect in the tourist […] district of San Juan. However, overall the staff came across as harried due to a large event happening at the same time of our check in. El Patio, located within the hotel, is a good place for lunch; complimentary breakfast and cocktails are a nice addition. If you have to stay in San Juan while in Puerto Rico, this is a good choice.

"Great family hotel."
Awesome stay had a great time. Can't wait to go back.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Good family place"
Great pool, breakfast included (awesome bacon), short walk to the beach and chairs await. There were a lot of families and retired folks heading to and from cruises. Casino was empty and we ate offsite so no idea about food other than breakfast. A good value hotel and reliable with great staff.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Breakfast & Drinks"
Rooms are clean, made to order breakfast, & mangers happy hour with free drinks! Great pool & under 10 minutes to walk to the beach. The Hotel has its own section on the beach, they provide chairs & towels and you can even order drinks. The beach is great! Very clean and the water is warm and crystal clear. Go to Walgreens or Peublo, get a cheap cooler […] & stock up on beer, water, & snacks. Great restaurants near by check trip advisor for some great ideas Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"close to airport"
short walk to Isla Verde beach was an unexpected bonus and the full complementary breakfast buffet is always appreciatedGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great location!"
Great location! Super close to a nice beach--the pool was also beautiful though if you don't like the sand. Room and amenities were as nice as you would expect from an Embassy Suites and the staff was helpful and friendly. Only downside was the crowd at breakfast--definitely get up early to avoid the rush. As a single female travelling alone I also […] felt very safe there. Would recommend it and would stay there again! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Great hotel for family"
I loved the hotel!!! I was there from January 27 through February 3, 201...The rooms are as pictured, I know sometimes when you arrive at hotels they are not at all as pictured, but this was. The staff there was really nice, and helpful (if you need directions or ideas on places to visit while in Puerto Rico). The breakfast was pretty good, it is the […] same everyday, but that doesn't mean it's not good. I would like to inform everyone that if you plan on visiting the bar...don't! It's very expensive!! Instead, try your luck at the Casino, even if it's only a few bucks, it will be worth it since drinks are free while playing in the casino!! Just ask one of the waitresses inside the casino for your drinks. Also, happy hour is from 5 30 to 7 30, you can ask for 2 drinks at a time, then return for 2 more, and so on, you are not limited to 2 drinks for the whole 2 hours, as some say. Weather was great! 80 to 85 degrees... Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great for an overnight"
We arrived very late at night and stayed only for one night, catching an early flight out the next morning. It was great for its proximity to the airport and comfortable beds, but I would not make it my vacation spot. It's dated.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Close to the airport in Isla Verde"
Great location, a five minute walk to the beach. 15 minutes from Old San Juan. Hotel provides chairs, umbrellas, towels at the waterfront location. Nice pool with bar service.Pool area was never crowded. Easy check-in and check-out. Many restaurants in close proximity as well as several car rental agencies. Overall a great stay.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

HOTEL ROOM WAS QUITE COMFORTABLE FOR 5 IN A ROOM, BUT WHEN WE CHECK IN THE BATHROOM SINK WAS CLOGGED, THE SHOWER WASN'T WORKING PROPERLY, AND THE SOAP DISH IN THE SHOWER WAS BROKEN, THE SINK WAS FIX WITHIN A FEW HOURS, BUT THE SHOWER WAS NOT FIX THROUGHOUT OUR STAY.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

""Location, location, location...""
I have stayed in many Embassy Suites before & I have always been quite satisfied with the concept f having a "living room" + an extra TV & privacy as well as a refrigerator, not to mention breakfast & an evening get together + free drinks.Genuine Expedia guest review
"clean comfortable and easy to get to"
Checked in half hour early without any hassle. Front desk was friendly and answered any questions I had. Complimentary breakfast was awesome and the line moved fast for ready to order omlettes. Room was clean and stocked. The only minor issue I had was the sleeper sofa was a little worn out and uncomfortable, but hey, it's a sleeper sofa, not a sleepy […] number. This would not be a factor on staying here again. I would again without thinking twice. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"family vacation"
Staff was helpful. Pool was nice. Location was very good. Only downside was we did not get the promised cotGenuine Expedia guest review
"Very good experience. just missing a pool heater."
my only negative comment is that there's no pool heater and water was so cold, even little kids stay away from the pool, which was very nice and clean.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"New Years stay"
Stayed at Embassy SUites for 3 nights over the New Year, hotel was fantastic, staff friendly and the suite was very comfortable, small kitchenette, flat screen TV in bedroom and another flatscreen TV in the lounge area. A supermarket very close by and also an outback Steakhouse and another restaurant/bar downstairs. Casino not massive but big enough […] to entertain. Old San Juan a short taxi ride away, 15-20 minutes and about $20-25 (though there was little traffic as it was a holiday). Hotel pool is large with a bar and plenty of loungers and chairs, beach also nearby though we didn't venture there. Only real complaint was the additional 16% service charge the hotel hit us with on top of the price we paid. I would stay here again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Decent hotel near beach"
Nice, comfortable, standard hotel. Generally very pleasant. I was frustrated by pool and hot tub closing at 10 PM, even on weekends. Also, no vegetarian food -anywhere-, but that's just Puerto Rico.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"VERY NICE HOTEL- GIVES GOOD WORTH FOR THE MONEY"
Almost everything was great. Except for breakfast time - they close pretty early and it is was very crowded...sometimes there was no place to sit. However, you always managed to get by and the hotel staff always get you what you need even after hours...so all in all...great place to be.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Perfect for couples and cruisers......"
Absolutely amazing experience at this hotel. I stayed at this resort for thanksgiving holiday prior to a cruise an I had a wonderful time. So much to do, love the gym the convenience of everything. Love the happy hr everyday Love the unbelievable free breakfast everyday. Love the pool and the gym. Love the fact that it is close to the airport and a […] twenty box car ride to the port. Love the staff and the concierge service. Love the entire ambience of the hotel, it really made you feel never to leave. Love the fact that I will be visiting again soon.. Didnot like the expense from the airport to the hotel,its across the street 20 box was to much. Didnot like that I had to call for extra towels and had to wait very very long for it. Didnot like the restaurant food it was way to salty and expensive. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"hotel life in Puerto Rico"
The front desk was very helpful and nice. The breakfast was good. The bed was very large and comfortable. My only 2 complaints--the gorgeous pool was freezing and the sofa bed was old and uncomfortable and the cushions didn't fit well. It's close to restaurants and the beach.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Disgusting."
Vile. So gross. Disgusting. The carpet made my feet filthy. There was pubic hair all over the sink and some type of dried crusty stuff all over the mirror. Simply put it was horrible.Genuine Expedia guest review

"Good place for an overnight layover..."
Great place to overnight for a layover. The hotel is similar to a La Quinta in the States. met our needs, but would not want to vacation there.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Expensive Service Fee"
The room was clean and confortable, but the service fee was a little expensive.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Close to cruise line"
WONDERFUL, we will stay here again on our next trip to San Juan. We will also check for rates and availablility when ever we need a hotel else where as well.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Excellent Stay -- Great Hotel and Amenities"
We stayed for a few days in December...the staff was very friendly and attentive. Everything was well maintained. Free drinks nightly are stiff but simple -- don't ask for anything special. You are paying for this as part of the 16 percent resort fee...probably worth it if you count ample breakfast, drinks and I think they even have a place on the beach […] with towels, but we did not use. Concierge helped out quite a bit with general info. The main advantage is the great location in San Juan combined with all the other stuff, if you are a middle of the road family or couple - Not bohemian like a guest houses or pricey like Condado. Supermarket and fast food within walking distance...Charlie car nearby. Pretty far from Old San Juan - but only 75 cents -- need exact change. It can be a long wait coming back at night - alternatively opt for a 20 buck cab ride. Folks outside of San Juan tourist areas don't speak English all the time, so brush up on your Espanol. Overall, a great experience. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Read all reviews"
Due to a late arrival, which the hotel was notified, and the room was paid for, the room had been given out to someone else. We were given the option to repack in the morning, and wait for another room the following day. The complimentary breakfast was fair, the happy hour consisted of a drink, chips and salsa. The outback steakhouse located in the […] hotel was poor as well as the other two areas for food. An amazing porter who helped us with our luggage and two of the desk clerks were fantastic. The rest of the staff was somewhat rude and basically was not interested in their jobs. Was very dissatisfied and had always heard embassy suites was a great place to stay. I will not judge all embassy suites by this one, but I will compare others, and read reviews thoroughly. This is the first time I have ever sent a negative review. A three year planned vacation started off and ended with a bad experience with this hotel. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"AMAZING HOTEL!!!"
Fabolous!!! Excellent service, great room! Everything was great! Love it! will back soon!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Amazing, this is a DEAL right here..."
2 things I loved most were the free omelette's every morning and the FREE drinks from 5:30-7:30pm. Talk about the best pre game of all time and an excellent way to socialize with everyone staying at the hotel. Service was great and we just walked down the street every night to party at the El San Juan hotel. Club Brava was there and we had a great […] time. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"The best value for the money I have ever seen."
My wife and I have traveled extensively in the Caribbean and Europe and I would have to say the Embassy Suites and Casino is the most "user friendly" hotel we have stayed at. Many places will nickel and dime you for every extra item, or you are held hostage by poor location and lack of affordable restaurants and have to spend $100 for a meal for two. […] This is not the case here - there is an Outback restaurant on the premises so you can eat in at your convenience. The staff is ultra friendly without exception, the complimentary breakfast is excellent and satisfies any appetite. The daily happy hour is generous and has a festive atmosphere with a wide assortment of families, couples, and business people relaxing and having fun. Love that strong Puerto Rican coffee and delicious made-to-order omelettes! The pool and sauna are well maintained but we prefer the Isla Verde beach which is only 2 blocks away. Since our last stay here in 2007, they have added a small concession stand at the beach (look for yellow flag) that distributes towels, chairs, and umbrellas to hotel guests for free. On the way to beach, try Mi Casita restaurant for authentic food. If you're into live entertainment, they have small combos in the casino area, but we preferred the ESJ Casino (10 minutes walk on the strip) for live salsa music. A word of advice, avoid taxis into town, take the bus for 75 cents and have lunch at "Raices" restaurant. At check out time, I was happy to pay the 16% hotel fee.

I really liked the hotel. A few staff were not friendly but overall good experience. I liked that they didn't harass you on selling tours. Good location. Loved the managers reception were they served free drinks.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great hotel & location (not on beach)"
About a block from the beach, easy walk, close to other resorts & restaurants. Car rental places around the area. Easy drive to highway and short drive to Old San Juan which is a must see.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
