We booked this last minute and did enjoy our last stay in PR. It is not something we would usually book as it is more of a resort but we were happy to float in the pool. The staff were very friendly.

I have stayed at this resort a few times. Heres my 2 cents. Standard room: The beds were very comfortable. Pillows were also nice but the room was just to dam cold!!! Rooms AC was set to 60f. Slippers required to avoid freezing floor. Room had small table built into the wall but no AC outlets near it. You will need an extension cord if you want to plug in anything. The shower needs Grab Bars installed so that you can hang your wet clothing. Room has coffee maker, small fridge & microwave. Elevators: The elevators feel outdated and in desperate need of overhauling. Most of the lights in the buttons that indicate if you pressed your floor do not work and sometimes after you pressed your button, the elevator does not move. So you will have to press it hard and repeatedly to get the elevator to move. On the plus side, they are pretty fast! Pool: A lovely 4 (Small/Medium/Large/Kids) sectioned pool that will not disappoint! No area is deeper than 4ft and that's only in the large section. The rest is about 3ft so no diving! Hot Tub is nice and deep enough and sits about 4 people. There is also a restaurant/bar by the pool and restrooms that may or may not be open. Beach: Very easy access to the beach! Chairs for sun bathers & small beach area. Showers by gate to wash the sand off. Staff: Very friendly & helpful! No complaints. Misc: The free popcorn and soda from the past are gone. Some floors have vending machines some do not. Could not find laundry machines.

At 11PM someone was given a key that opened our room door. And because the extra deadbolt did not work, which the front desk and security were informed about, an older gentleman almost gained access to our room. Because of this we left the next day and I am requesting a 1 day refund.

They need to renovate the rooms and the surrounding area. And even more so if there are families staying there. There are many cracks, some of the bed sheets were stained, and so were the towels. The bathtub door leaks water, and we have to use towels to put them on the floor. Otherwise, we would have fallen to the floor with all the water coming out.
