Casino hotel near Ponce attractions lures with happy hour, entertainers
A 24-hour casino with 346 machines and 10 tables tempts budget travelers to the Holiday Inn Ponce & Tropical Casino, but gambling is not the only diversion at the property. Local seafood and authentic Puerto Rican cuisine nourishes diners at Tanama Restaurant, while live entertainment heats up the resident bar – Barlavista Lounge – come weekends. Tropical touches, free Wi-Fi and balconies are among the comforts inside rooms.

No complaints, Great Value!
I had no complaints what so ever with this hotel. I was actually impressed with this being a Holiday Inn. I stayed here two nights in late December. The room was clean, flat screen tv, with enough English channels, bathroom was nice. I stayed a Sheraton later in my trip in Old San Juan and would say that this hotel was definitely on par with the Sheraton. The hotel was at the top of a hill, but made for a great view. Our room had a tree blocking our view but most rooms I would imagine would have great views. The pool area was huge. My girlfriend and I laid out with fantastic weather one day, not one other person on the pool which was fine by us. Nothing is in walking distance, so best to have a rental car or you will have to cab it. The casino was no Vegas, but had the basics. Wish it had an active poker table, but I read that Hold’em isn’t very big in Puerto Rico, so it wasn’t a big deal. My only complaint was the drink service was very limited, don’t expect to get many drinks, but if you are playing table games and spending a little money I think they are free, least the couple I had were. Overall, I would recommend this hotel. Great Value.

Ponce don't go not worth the money spent
The people were nice, but we regreted leaving San Juan. Really not much to do around Ponce. For the price of the hotel we could have stayed at the Hilton. Disappointed is how I could sum the Ponce trip.

Loved It!
The hotel was beautiful. The staff was very nice. Everything was very clean and the room was very comfortable. Great place to stay with a beautiful view of the ocean. My 14 year old enjoyed the pool and the chicken fettucine alfredo. I can't wait to go back.

Family vacation
Our family and I go on a yearly trip to Puerto Rico to do some siteseeing and enjoy the beautiful warm weather. Our hotel stay was excellent and we are planning to stay at that hotel again. Everything was great including the casino. The only drawback was the fitness area which was very small with no free weights to workout.

Sightseeing tip:
Short drive from hotel
The hotel is a short drive to most attractions around Ponce. La Guancha (Boardwalk) is ten to fifteen minutes away. This place is very popular among the locals and a great tourists attractions. It is a good day trip to do. There are many great things to do in Ponce like the ferry to Caja de Muertos or a trolley tour in the Downtown Ponce or Ponce Centro. I feel two days in Ponce should be fine.

Very nice hotel
Very pleasant experience from the moment you step into the hotel until you check out. The Casino can use some Scantily clad waitresses like the Vegas style but that is just a personal preference. Great stay

Hubba Hubba - World Class View!
The outstanding view from this summit above Ponce and the Caribbean more than compensates for the hotel's distance from the historic center. You'll need a car and directions to get there (it's not on GPS presently). It's off Toll Road 52, and about 2 miles west (toward Mayaguez) on highway 2. Several excellent restaurants perched on the seaside are nearby via car. And the pool is stunning, too.
