Sarah at the front desk was absolutely AMAZING! Staff were friendly l, food was fantastic, the views and amenities, the people, it was overall a wonderful experience!
Helpful staff. Entertainment almost every night! Great beach & pools!
Main building can get very noisy there was proms every night, with partying in the hall ways. Water didn’t get very hot or very cold in shower & sink must be just Puerto Rico.
But most everything else was wonderful!!
From check in to check out everything was perfect. Our room was ready early and they were conjoined as requested. Room staff were great with providing extra towels. Room was very clean and equipped with everything we needed. Pool music was great and swim up bar bartenders were great especially Efron. The lobby entertainment was on point. Overall an amazing experience!! Thank you, we will be back.
I have stayed at lots of Hotel/Resorts all over the world, I get resort fees everywhere you go, but I have never seen resort for to the amount of 100.00 per day, plus taxes and fees to make it a total of just over $124.00 per day., that was very disappointing. The location is perfect for a nice beach, nice pool area, plenty of restaurants close by, also nice entertainment in the lobby, such as a band, and plenty of bars (I counted 5) … Would I stay there again? … Absolutely Not! … There are plenty of awesome hotels all over the Island that do not hit your wallet do hard.
My husband and I stayed at the Fairmont celebrating our 30th anniversary and the hotel did not disappoint! Absolutely AMAZING! We were upgraded to a Villa Terrace room which was beautiful ❤️ and the hotel send us chocolate covered strawberries for our anniversary 🥰. The room was modern and smelled divine ! Housekeeping impressive keeping our room immaculate daily. Yoel and Mike were outstanding with excellent communication with all our needs. The grounds are clean and beautiful! Martin at the Banyan bar was so nice, funny and sweet!
I give the Fairmont 10 out of 10!! Can’t wait to come back !!!
I love the beauty of this place. Wonderful restaurants, pool, beach. Great for photos. Pool closes at 9. That isn’t listed anywhere.
Not terrible just an FYI: 100 per night resort fee is not included in the price.
We went to the rain forest which is really cool but I don’t recommend it if you are not in awesome shape or over 50. Watched a lady carried out on a stretcher with an IV. I hike often. This water slide hike has higher difficulty: roots, mud, slippery rock climbing. Very rustic and zero safety measures.
Old San Juan is great. Recommend a hat, water and sunscreen. You’ll be tired after a full day.
The ocean was visible from our room, property was beautiful, and staff was extra helpful. Had lunch at the Banyan Tree Grill. Great food and views. However, the service was slow and inconsistent.

El San Juan is a classic close to airport and with good pools and beach. Property is a little worse for wear and incessant bass music unwelcome. Should have a quiet adult pool. Service is slow at best.
We stayed in an ocean view villa and it was amazing. Easy access to the beach, which has lounge chairs and umbrellas. The property is beautiful. Staff is friendly and helpful. We’ll be back!
Very nice property, especially the staff, pool and beach areas. The club crowd comes by in the early morning hours but that was fine. we will be back.

The lobby bar was incredible. They had 2 pools that were very nice with pool attendants that didn't require charges. Beach and chairs were great.
Dining was superior. Onsite shopping was fabulous.
Free shows each night. Casino vibe was great.
