La Concha, A Renaissance Resort

I traveled to San Juan, PR for the first time for my birthday and WOW was I blown away by La Concha Renaissance Resort. I hadn't done too much research on the property and relied on word of mouth before booking. First off the pictures don't quite do this place justice. It's HUGE. There are so many lounge areas, four pools and its beachfront. Perfect to lay out all day. The atmosphere is wonderful as there is always a cool crowd of locals and tourists in the lobby. There is a casino on site (I visited and won $65 in the slot machine) also varied restaurants and no shortage of bars. I only ate at Solera and Voga, and in my opinion Voga isn't the best cuisine or worth the price. Try a few other local eateries - there are so many offering cuisine ranging from Indian, Chinese, Italian and of course authentic Puerto Rican !. The staff was fantastic although checking in was a little lengthy. I requested a room upgrade (well worth the $30 a night for ocean view with a balcony) so that might be why. Overall no complaints whatsoever about this hotel ... the only downside was the resort fee and $300 incidental hold placed on my credit card on check in. I recommend a visit here and I can't wait to return !.

We spent one night here post cruise. The staff was very friendly! We were able to check in early and the concierge was full of ideas for the last day of our vacation. We didn’t really use the hotel amenities (i.e. pool, restaurants), but everything looked great! Wish we could have stayed longer.

La Concha had everything that we could've asked for. In fact, while we had planned to take little excursions during our time in San Juan, we ended up spending almost all our time at La Concha because it truly had everything we needed! It's situated right on the beach, perfect for sunbathing, boogie boarding, and beginner surfers! It's also just a quick cab ride away from Old San Juan, and there are taxis lined up in front of the hotel at any given time. When we arrived, we found out that our room, though facing the ocean, didn't have the balcony, but upon requesting one, the people at the front desk quickly upgraded us without any problem. The room was beautiful and spacious and had a perfectly modern/beach-y feel, just like the rest of the hotel. We made a routine out of afternoon cocktails by the pool with guacamole and chips from Solera. Breakfast at Voga was okay, nothing special, but if you sit on the ocean side of the restaurant you'll get beautiful views. The staff in general were so friendly and accommodating and were always there to answer questions or serve. We could not have asked for a better vacation and we wish we could've stayed longer! We also loved that the hotel was filled with all sorts of people: families, singles, friends, couples, etc.

We stayed at La Concha over new years eve this year. While the hotel seemed trendy, and had a lot going on, it wasn't nearly worth the $400/night price. The rooms were average size, and the only redeeming feature was the mini kitchen that had a stovetop/microwave/freezer/fridge, etc. We bought tons of snacks and breakfast for every morning to save money. There are three pools, but two of them get zero sun. literally zero. They're fun for a nighttime dip, but have no purpose during the day. As a result the main pool gets filled up quickly and getting a seat was difficult. Overall, I would stay again but only if the price was 1/2 as much as we spent during the busy time period of new years/christmas.

Overall it was a nice place. Only one complaint: bed was uncomfortable.

Overall it was a good experience, I do recommend though a little pricy at times specially if you and a additional resort fee and parking charges...

The hotel was very nice and modern. We were very impressed with the decor. I would most definitely stay there again and recommed it to others going to San Juan. The prices for food and drinks are fairly expensive, as expected with most hotels. Luckily there are lots of eating places within walking distance. My only complaint would be the resort fees of about $20 per day and that if you are traveling with friends, this website will book you into a room with only a King bed.

La Concha is an excellent Beach Resort on Ashford Ave. The resort has a very modern up to date look. I stayed in one of the ocean front beach Suites which had just about every amenity that you could possible want. Full kitchen, living room separate bedroom towards the back with a wonderful ocean view off of the balcony. The resort itself has several excellent restaurants on site, several pools, gym, casino with all the major table games and slots. Resort staff was excellent from the moment that you arrive until the moment that you leave. They were always available to assist in anyway possible. The resort is within walking distance to several great restaurants, shops and bars. A short distance from the airport about 15min and also very close to old San Juan about 15min also. I highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a great stay in Puerto Rico.

Great relaxing and very comfortable.. Enjoyed every bit of the stay. The lounge, beach, pool, casino was absolutely great. Strongly recomend.

Great hotel, great location, and beautiful beach! I would absolutely stay there again, it was close to everything and an easy cab or bus ride to Old San Juan.
