We had a wonderful stay at the hotel, especially enjoying the fantastic beach and well-kept pool area. The location is perfect, just steps from the beautiful Isla Verde beach and various dining options. The rooms were clean but somewhat dated, and while the service was good, there were some hiccups with air conditioning. Overall, it was a solid choice for our pre-cruise stay with some minor improvements needed in certain areas.

I had a wonderful experience at this hotel, thanks to the exceptional service and the beautiful beach. While the rooms were comfortable, they could use a little updating, especially the carpets. The dining options left something to be desired, particularly for breakfast, which was overpriced and limited. Overall, it was a great stay, but there are definitely areas for improvement.

My stay at the Intercontinental in San Juan was wonderful! The hotel offers stunning ocean views and the cleanliness was top-notch, making my trip feel very relaxing. The staff was friendly and went above and beyond, particularly during check-in. However, the dining options could be improved, as I found some of the meals to be quite pricey. Overall, the hotel is an excellent choice for a comfortable stay with great amenities.

I recently stayed at this hotel and found it to have a lovely beach area and a vibrant pool scene. The location is very convenient, just a short drive from the airport. However, the experiences I had with the staff were disappointing, as I encountered issues with service and some cleanliness concerns. On top of that, the dining options weren't what I hoped for, making it hard to fully enjoy my stay.
Rooms
7.0
The rooms looked nice and were comfortable, though I wished I had more than two flat pillows. My room was boarded up for renovations later, which made me question its readiness.
Service
5.0
Unfortunately, I found the service lacking. Staff members didn't assist me when I struggled with my bags, and interactions felt rude at times, which was quite surprising in a place like this.
Location

The location is great, being only 10 minutes from the airport and close to local eateries. The beachfront is beautiful, which made up for some of the other disappointments.
Dining

Dining was a letdown for me. The food options were overpriced and not particularly fresh, which is something I really value during vacations.

The pool area was lively and beautifully maintained, but the hot tub didn't provide the therapeutic experience I expected and felt more like a warm place to sit.
