The Embassy Suites in San Juan was by far the BEST decision we made on this trip. You get more then what you pay for, the price was great since it included a delicious Cook to order breakfast every morning & a Happy Hour everyday from 5:30-7:30 all you can drink plus free snacks. The bartenders were great! & Friendly. Those are just a few things that saved us a whole lot $$. The rooms were Spacious & clean! a nice wet bar, a separate living area and great staff! The pool was just beautiful! And relaxing. The casino was a bit small but comfortable and every night they raffle gifts & prizes. I won a $50 raffling prize! This hotel was only a block 1/2 from the beach and just steps away to all restaurants, Hotels & Night Life. The front desk was very helpful with directions etc. The gym room came in handy, and so did the laundry room. There was an Outback Steakhouse in the Hotel the food was great and the prices were reasonable. A small convenience store was great for snacks, cigarettes, & last minute things. The Lobby was just beautifully decorated with Palm trees and ponds, it was just so! Worth it.. We stayed for 4 days but wished we were there longer! Now where are you going to find a great deal like this??? At the Embassy Suites!!
There was a small restaurant "Mi Casita" just in the plaza 1blk away with Great! Spanish food for a great price. Also there was an "Edith's Cafe" right across from the Hampton Inn Suites on Isla Verde Ave with Delicious food and reasonable prices. Lupis, was a nice place to hear music & have a couple drinks good food as well. I would recommend this hotel to all my friends & family!

We, 2 adults and 2 kids (ages 9 and 11) stayed here in April 07 for 4 nights compliments of HHonors points...yeah, I know, I'm a bit late with the review - sorry.

Great location – close to the airport, and about a block and a half from a very nice beach. We never heard the planes at night and slept wonderfully. However, the hotel is very close to the airport and you can easily see the planes land but the noise was pretty much drowned out by the outside noise from people and the waterfall at the pool.

The rooms were of a typical Embassy Suites, more than accomodating for the 4 of us...clean and comfy.

We all loved the huge breakfast every morning and the evening social hour. Since we were travelling with the kids, I really liked having an Outback as the onsite restaurant. The food was prepared just as in the States complete with steamed veggies – something hard to find in the islands. Just a block and a half away is the main street with Burger King, Walgreens, and other fast food type restaurants. We also ate at the Mi Casitas restaurant and had a great meal. It is in walking distance, only two blocks.

The area pool was great. The kids didn't mind and swam every day. It is a beautiful free form pool surrounded by palm trees.

We took the bus to Old San Juan, which was really a good time. We toured the forts and walked around town. We also rented a car from across the street and drove to El Yunque which we all really liked. You can drive through most of it, however, there are also some pretty scenic hiking trails.

Hotel overall is nice. The furnishings in the room need replaced. When you sat on the sofa you were practically sitting on the floor. The rooms were much smaller than other embassy suites I have stayed in. Pool area was very nice. Food was good. Bell staff was more helpful than anyone. Really the only problem I had was at the breakfast area when I was asking the girl where stuff was she was rude and walked off. Everyone else was nice,

We just returned from 7 nights at the Embassy in Puerto Rico. What a great time we had! Breakfast provided each day along with an incredible happy hour reception - in which we were very well taken care of by the bartenders! It was a nice way to not spend a lot of money before going out by starting there first. The staff is nice, rooms are immaculate and comfortable. The pool was great and relaxing in the morning but upbeat in the afternoon. The beach and nightlife is just a few blocks away. Bravo to Lupis and Drums - two of our favorite places. The driving down there appeared to be a bit frightening when crossing the street - I don't think I would rent a car. Cab ride to Old San Juan is 19 bucks and worth it. It is beautiful. Check out the little Doug's pub on the corner and the other Lupis. People were very nice and friendly and we definitely will be returning.
