Property needs to be upgraded, the rooms were outdated including the bathroom; also the bed sheets had a humid smell and the most troublesome thing was a BIG COCKROACH in the kitchen, told that to service desk and they did nothing

Near to the beach, the pool was nice and fun for kids.

$14.50 parking everyday $19.00 breakfast for person $50.00 access to the beach card They don’t take Discover credit card, no access to the gym facility, if you’re not staying in Embassy, it’s OK if you don’t mind the pay for this type of services

No room cleaning for 4 days. Had to ask for clean towels. No hand towels washcloths. carpets were clammy and sticky Plumbing horrible Bathroom drawers broken. Mattresses and pillows were stained and old. TV remote didn’t work well. Balcony chairs and little table dirty with bird poop. There were wads of chewing gum stuck on the wooden headboard. The room was on second floor right over some parking spots and gas and car fumes and noise prevented us from sitting out or having balcony door open. The walls are very thin and could hear conversations from either side of our room. The whole hotel smelled damp and musty triggering breathing issues. The hotel staff were uncaring. We called to have to bedding changed and they took 6 hrs to send someone up. I would not recommend this hotel. Too bad because the outdoor grounds were nice but shared with another hotel. Also vending and ice machine on second floor didn’t work. Management tried to tell us they don’t come clean and change bedding that it was against privacy. Just lazy staff.

El area muy bonita la atención para hacer check in fatal la señorita poco amigable, sin educación 😏, el teléfono de la habitación no servia. Al hacer check out totalmente diferente la señorita de turno súper amable

Meet our expectations for the price. Staff was friendly and so many positives. A few minor items to be aware of below: - There is no walkable beach as the property is fenced in. Never seen barb wire fences along an ocean as is the case with the condos next door that prevent easy passage to the long balneiro de dorado beach. - Pool isn't heated, which is normal, but it gets a bit chilly in the winter during morning or cloudy times. The ocean is much warmer and pristine, so a good option. - You need to get there at noon the day you check-in to have a shot at paying more for an ocean view. Really frustrating that you can just reserve that ahead of time, it makes no sense at all... - Easy Uber ride from San Juan, we go to and from by Uber for under $30 each way. Local taxis are very expensive. Otherwise we really enjoyed it and glad we found such an easy place to vacation.

This is my 2nd time there. I love the pools, easy access to the beach. My room was very comfortable the area is nice

The center lamps didn’t work. It’s an old property and it shows. Bar staff at the pool seemed like they didn’t want to be there.

This hotel robbed me of my money and won't refund me. The airline did the right thing and refunded me for my roundtrip flights. My flight on my birthday was canceled and there were no other rebooking options to get to Puerto Rico on my birthday on December 26. I will never book with Orbitz again and I will never book with this hotel ever. This customer service is horrible. I emailed them proof of my flight cancellation as soon as I found out the airlines canceled my flight. This hotel can't be trusted and I've booked so many hotels and vacation packages with Orbitz and they lost all my trust now too. I won't be using their website ever again. I'm going to get my money back one way or the other. They could've did the right thing but they chose to be crooks.

Pool was nice. Rooms smelled musty and of mildew.

Water in jacuzzi was cold.

I like embasy pool but not clean at all and the jacuzzi was out of service

My husband and I were very disappointed, first the front desk guy that checked us in was rude the hotel had a bad smell, the room was dirty the curtains had stains the bed sheets had blood stains and terrible smell. We were there for two nights and they never came to change the bed sheets, we had to call the front desk in order to have someone come and change the sheets. I would never stay here again!!

I would go back interested in the villas very excellent service
