Rita Carlton

Our stay at the hotel was great. The staff did whatever they could to please and all were very helpful and knowledgable about the area. The rooms were clean and spacious. The only fault with the room was that there was not enough hanging space for wet towels and bathing suits The food in the hotel restaurants was very good but lunch was a bit overpriced. All in all a great experience and a hotel I would definitely return to

Ritz Carlton, San Juan, PR

Expensive, but I felt mostly worth the cost. The staff was quite accomodating and the environment was safe, clean, and comfortable. The beach location was nice, but not picturesque due to a few days of rain and excessive seaweed, but that was due to our choice of travel time during the more stormy summer season.

Don't rent a car unless you intend to travel outside of San Juan or have young kids. And if you do, definitely get GPS.

Great Hotel

The hotel was great! Everything was clean and well organized. They have a nice fitness area, tennis court, Jacuzzi, pool, lounge chairs on the beach with umbrellas. They give out towels anywhere you need them. They have cool water available by the beach, pool, and lobby. The beach has a good length of sand and there's a place to rent out jet skies, kayaks, etc right next to the hotel.

Poor in Operations. Needs Much Improvement

IMy first impression was finding our room was not available as booked. They told us no balcony is available,however another non-balcony room is-we arrived at our rm and found 1 bed for a party of 4..They accomodated us by giving us a suite but the coffee maker poured all over the fl. I had to lay towels down everytime when I made coffee to catch the drips. The resort was on lockdown due to a hurricane, no affordable restuarants, activities or events. Average meal bill is well over 100.00 even for breakfast at Mares. To costly for mistakes and inconsitancies
