Welcome to BetterBidding!

Ideally you want the amenities to be an exact match to previous reports, not simply that the amenities above have previoulsy been listed along with others. (although many hotels are now using mutliple amenity combinations which makes the "ideal" a bit more difficult to find)

As nothing matches the above exactly, i'm going to guess that this is the Caribe Hilton with a 'missing' Beachfront icon (as that hotel is not on what i consider to be a 'real' beach, it's more of a small man-made beach on a bay/inlet)... however, with limited amenities shown it could easily be something else.

I'll also point that out that if you change your search to 4adults/0children a 'new' 4* hotel appears for about the same price with:

Resort, Beachfront, Casino, Pool, Restaurant, Business, Laundry, Interent, Tennis, Spa

... this is a match for the Inter-Continental and that would be my best guess for this one.

Waited until today and checked again with 1 room 2 adults, got the same hotel as last time. Changed to 3 rooms 12 adults and got what appeared to be the Intercontinental at $124/night. Changed to 1 room 4 adults for $119/night. went ahead with booking and it was the Intercontinental. Being that we are traveling with other couples, I first took an extra precaution and exited. I proceeded with the new booking of 1 room 4 adults and got the same results $119/night. On the third time through the price changed to $124/night and stayed there no matter what I tried so I went ahead and booked it anyway figuring I had already saved 2 roomsx2nights=$24. Of course I used the link for HOTWIRE and I thank you for the tip that I hadn't thought of before.

Oh by the way did you know that someone put Grafitti on your site? There seems to be a big M with the word Michigan across it. It should read MSU. Just a friendly rival, not a good year for either of us.

Congratulations on your success!

Glad to see you received the hotel you were hoping for and are happy with the results.

If you exit the hotel and cross the street and go towards the right, there is a strip mall with 7-8 stores in it (the strip mall sits perpendicular to the street) there is a bagel shop at the end of the row... inexpensive breakfast (along with typically slow san juan service) with some GREAT cafe con leche.

Thank you for sharing your results with the board and using our HOTWIRE link to begin your purchase.

Enjoy your stay.

PS- GO BLUE!

We have actually been to Puerto Rico several times and we were trying for one of either the Intercontinental, El San Juan, or the Marriot as all of these hotels are situated within easy walking of multiple restaurants as well as grocery and convenience stores. We like the Caribe Hiton but it is a long way from anything else. This trip is a pre-cruise trip and the price is nice.

Thank you for the help and in taking the jest well.

Here's to hoping both schools have a great basketball season!
