The Condado Plaza Hotel
The waterfront room and view clearly carry the experience. If the purpose of the trip was to wake up to water and unwind visually, that’s a real plus. A great view can elevate an entire stay. That said, decor was ok at best and not the cleanest. View is a luxury.

The Royal Sonesta San Juan
Beautiful property. Restaurants on property were pricey. The breakfast buffet is $40pp. All food was delicious. Room smelled a little musty at first, but we were able to open the slider and get in some fresh air.
