Recent guest reviews

The best part of the hotel was the location and the AC worked really well. Walking distance to the beach and tons of restaurants. That is the only thing I liked about it. The room was very old, not clean, you could see through the bed sheets and almost through the thin bath towels. The breakfast is what was expected from reading other reviews. We stayed here for 2 nights before a cruise. Our view out the window was of construction. My son said it looked like a new FortNight location. We were on the first floor. I should have asked for room higher but it was midnight after a very long day of travel.

The staff is great and the continental breakfast was excellent.

I like the location of the property. I was able to walk around the area with ease and enjoy many of the fun night spots. The two things I did not like about the hotel were the small twin size beds and no irons in the room. I wish I got a room with a bigger bed. I felt like I was in a college dorm room. But my biggest complaint was not having an iron. The whole hotel has to share one iron on the 1st floor of the hotel.. That would be ok with me if the one iron they had was of quality. If the hotel is going to have one iron they should have the best one.. I left the hotel with my clothes still being a little wrinkled. With that being said my stay was ok for the price and location, and the staff seemed friendly. My next stay I will explore another hotel.

Hotel was clean and the staff was superb. The hotel was close to the beach and restaurants

I loved the staff, price, location and the nearness to very good restaurants. The downside to the facility is the meager breakfast offering (too many carbs and no proteins) and the facility is just getting old and would probably benefit from a renovation. The poor quality of the roads around the facility (not the hotel's fault) is another distraction.

Positives: I think that the El Canario Lagoon hotel holds good value for its price. It's clean and safe. Staff are friendly and helpful. The complimentary, continental breakfast is adequate and gets one started for their day in PR. There is AC. Bathroom was fine. Negatives: AC unit in my room was noisy. While the ongoing fan can be "white noise", when the unit turned on to cool- it was noisy. The beds could be much more comfortable.

I like everything, the attention and everything was close tome

They offer iron & iron bird, one for entire hotel in hallway downstairs with well used iron that leaked. The bed had 1 fitted sheet and 1 top sheet, no other blanket spread or sheet, (did find blanket in closet), and the two pillows were small and limp, I assumed from being well used. Breakfast was absolutely minimal with a large coffee pot that had old and burnt coffee. Night shift clerk checking me in was polite and outgoing.

Great location and rates...great staff. Only negative are the matresses. They could becso much better with say a 2 or 3 inch serta matress topper.

Hotel front desk staff in the morning shift is not pleasant when answering questions. Most answers to questions are I don't know as well. Evening front desk staff is very nice. The Breakfast included is fair and could be better. Hotel cleaning staff are friendly and do their job well. Hotel is close to the lagoon. City bus to Old San Juan is near by. You can skip Isle Verde.

Originally read “parking” available. There is parking available but, it’s not free.

Comfortable hotel. Great staff. One block from the beach. What else matters?

Would stay there again. Wonderful place. Convenient location. Near to Beach, restaurants, shopping stores and historical sites.

It was ok..................................................

Thank you for taking the time to review our hotel. We regret to see that you did not enjoy your stay with us to the fullest. We take this as an opportunity to improve and provide a better service. We have different types of beds, our bigger bed is a Queen size bed, maybe that should have been a better option for you. Regarding the iron, before we let the guests use it in the rooms, however due to negligence and for security reasons had to be moved to the lobby. We hope to have you back in a no so distant future!
