Priceline Hotel: 3.5* San Juan Water and Beach Club

[Brisadelsol]

Used $10 bonus cash reward, total bid =$70

Bid for 3* hotel after numerous rejections from Resort to 3.5* bids (always keeping it below $60 + bonus cash)

Upgraded to 3.5* when accepted

From reviews, it looks like there is a resort charge of of $10-11/day, but the service and location are said to be very good.

The week before my trip, PL emailed me about amenities at the hotel not being available. They were still renovating. The rooftop pool/lounge was still under construction and the restaurant was only open during breakfast. I was given the option to cancel my reservation without penalty and get the bonus cash of $10/night. I canceled and promptly received a refund. I decided to couchsurf instead and don't regret having done that.

I did walk by the hotel while at the beach and it seemed to be nice and guests were out on the beachfront under their yellow umbrellas and chairs. Parking was very hard to find, but if you're diligent, you can find a spot. There is a car rental, Charlie's, one block behind the hotel and a Walgreens close by. Great location in Isla Verde for food and beaches.
