From my perspective the problem with this hotel is in the larger management. The staff are working to do their best to provide for guests. The property is in disrepair--carpet doesn't cover the floor, broken doors, light fixtures, and a struggling HVAC system that leaves rooms wet. We paid $16/day for parking and had difficulty getting in and out of the parking lot. It is combined with another hotel, so that provides some dining options and probably contributes to the better condition of the shared pool and the outside portions of the property. Puerto Rico is beautiful! So as long as you are not visiting to stay in your hotel, you might be fine staying here depending on the room. We appreciated the staff of the hotel for their efforts to do all they could to make the stay pleasant!

Rooms were clean. A bit outdated, but clean. Easy & convenient check in. The beach was okay. I think if they spent an hour a day to remove the washed up seaweed, it would be a huge improvement. This was our first time in Puerto Rico. We were originally going to rent a vehicle (because of the holiday, the vehicles were very expensive), we are very happy we didn’t rent a vehicle. Uber is super convenient, and inexpensive. We will definitely be back. Everyone in PR was friendly and welcoming.

Room was dated with paper thin walls and uncomfortable mattresses. The people in the room next to us came back late (after 11) and were up early (7am) every morning and it sounded like they were in the room with us, even though they were just speaking in normal voices. Tub drain didn't work so we showered in standing water. Staff were pleasant and the complimentary water bottles were nice. All the rest of the amenities (pool, restaurants, etc.) were through the Embassy Suites, and the only reason why this rating isn't lower.

The room looked nice at first glance but wasn't as clean as it appeared initially. There weren't enough towels, either. I'm not sure how 4 people would comfortably share this room with the narrow couch and king size bed. None of this mattered in the face of the gorgeous pool situation, which was most of the reason we booked this location anyway.
