How would you like me to close this request? I've decided on a different location in Isla Verde with HOTWIRE. I will post over there. Thanks!

Please keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread. Once you win a hotel, use the 'ADD REPLY and REPORT WIN' button on the upper right corner of the page to edit the topic title to reflect your win and to provide the details of your purchase. This helps keep the board better organized by reducing the number of unresolved threads that don't have any follow-up or conclusion.

 

Not certain, but my guess for the HOTWIRE offer above would be the InterContinental San Juan.

 

I'm somewhat familiar with this area, is there something in particular that you're looking for in a hotel for this trip?

I will do that. Thanks for the tutorial. I am really just looking for a well reviewed hotel on the beach at the 4* level (id go less if it were equally as nice). It looked like intercontinental was better than the other two possibilities. Hotwire listed these three:

$164...San Juan Water and Beach Club

$188...InterContinental San Juan

$306...El San Juan Resort & Casino, A Hilton Hotel

 

Do you have a better suggestion or location? I've never been to PR. We are going to a long weekend/anniversary trip. I think the 100-150 price range is about right for me.

Just curious if you had a chance to ponder the above response. I'm literally not booking till I hear from you because of the wealth of knowledge you are lol

I was in the process as you typed your last message (and if you just click the white box below the thread the text area will open without quoting your previous message )

 

If you're looking for the beach then Isla Verde is where you want to be.  Some Condado area hotels (Caribe Hilton, Condado Plaza) list themselves as 'beachfront' but there are man made beaches that are more on a lagoon vs. a 'true' long stretch of beach with ocean, waves, etc.

 

The InterContinental is on a great stretch of beach and has a very nice pool area as well.  One 'concern' i did have was that the HOTWIRE property above does not show a Casino amenity, but thru some additional research i see that the property closed its casino earlier this year.  This increases my confidence in this guess a bit (still no guarantees), but should it prove to be some other property at least you have the assurance that it is Beachfront (as defined by HOTWIRE)

 

One last comment regarding San Juan... while many of the hotels are quite nice, even the best of them have quite a few negative reviews.  This isn't necessarily because they are 'bad', but overall it's an expensive hotel market and when guests pay more they go in expecting more (ie- high levels of service).  However, Puerto Rico is still very much an island and operates on "island time" where "right away, sir" or "we will get right on that" really translates to 'we will put it on our list of things to do and get to it when we can'.  Go in with this understanding/expectation of the cultural differences and you won't be disappointed.
