The pool was nice, although I swam in the ocean rather than the pool.

Hyatt Vacation Club at Hacienda del Mar, Dorado
Great place for a beach vacation. You have your own kitchen, dishwasher, washing machine, and get plenty of towels. Chairs and umbrellas are available at the beach. Wonderful staff and wonderful facility. Would recommend to rent a car.

The Royal Sonesta San Juan
This hotel was great but I will say it was expensive. When you’re paying 400+ a night, seems like they could throw in free parking or breakfast without charging another 35 a day on top of what you’re already paying. That said, the staff was excellent and the property was gorgeous. No complaints ...

San Juan Marriott Resort and Stellaris Casino
Everyone on staff is polite and friendly- whoever does the hiring for these people is spot on! Last year I stayed in a nice hotel in Isla Verde but I missed the Marriott Stelaris (where I had stayed around 8 or 9 times). So I came back this year and was very happy to be there. Superior service.
