Fun at the pool and casino

Overall I enjoyed my stay at this hotel, the staff was friendly and bilingual (just remember island timethat means no one is in a hurry, EVER) I had clean room, great view, nice pool w plenty of areas to tan or read, great drinks at the bars (just wish they stayed open later then 2am). I also enjoyed the casino small but fun for the occasional gambler. I was disappointed by the food quality at the restuarants, I don't mind paying for a good meal but I suggest everyone go outside of the hotel for dinner. Found great local cusine near the city center and great late night eats at the boardwalk just down the road.

Money-saving tip: Not Applicable

I suggest purchasing the room package that includes several meals. Food at the hotel is expensive and avaerage quality, $19 per person for breakfast! We went to a local grocery and purchased some waters and sodas to save. Also head over to the boardwalk during weekend, I fed 5 adults and had alcoholic drinks for $60.

business and holiday

The Hotel is beautiful. I would have better signage leading to the Hotel from the highway as we can in at night. The beach could use a bit of cleaning. The view of the Ocean was fantastic,we were up on the 5th floor of the executive tower last unit. Could not have been better. When heading to the Islands, be prepared to relax, the staff was friendly but not not as attentive as what you would experience in a lager city or a cruse ship.. I will return to this Hotel again.

Ponce Vacation

The hotel was beautiful. Ameneties we average. Most of the bars weren't open. Check in staff were very friendly and helpful. Beach area needs major improvement. Rooms were very nice, clean & the beds were comfortable. Staff in restaurants weren't always friendly or helpful and the food was way overpriced. Also, it is recommended to rent a car I your staying here. A taxi ride from the air port to the hotel can run you up to 140.00. They do have a lot of activities for younger children such as mini golf, basketball, playground etc. You can also take a quick shuttle to costa caribe which has another bar area, & poool area that's more for adults.

Mosquitoes Galore!!!!!

Resort grounds are okay, but needs a little more attention to cleanliness (specifically pool- mold). Claims of live entertainment are none existent. The resort has a serious problems with pest control. There are mosquitoes every where except the guest rooms. Outdoor eating was frustrating and uncomfortable due to the lack of pest control. When asked what was being done about the mosquitoes problem, i was told that OFF spray was available for the guests. I had to find a pharmacy that sold Benadryl and hydra Cortizone to deal with the horrific bites I encountered at this resort.

Fun for the family

Went for a long weekend trip with the kids. Enough for them to do and the staff was extremely helpful and sweet. Negatives: - No lifeguard at the pool area, have gone to hotels with them and the experience at the pool was much more pleasant with their presence. - No gift shop in the hotel, big no-no if you want to purchase anything. - Parking is NOT FREE, so if you have a car, get ready for the bill on check-out. - Complimentary breakfast given if you stay in the Executive Tower BUT not given when booked online [...](Found out the hard way)

Great Family Getaway

Great Golf course, 27 Holes of challenging fairways surrounded by Water. Two pools to choose from and two beachfronts (Main Hotel and Country Club). Plenty activities for kids, like Tennis for kids, mini golf (very rustic, but it works), kid swings, slides, ping pong and other activities. Main lobby is kinda old, but rooms are nice. Casino on property.
