Puerto Rico offers the perfect balance of rum-soaked nightlife and tranquil retreat. The Spanish colonial buildings of San Juan set a perfect backdrop for a day of shopping and sightseeing. Hike the massive El Yunque rainforest to see waterfalls, stone towers, and colorful Puerto Rican wildlife. As far as beaches go, it doesn’t get better than the private sands of Isla de Vieques – particularly Mosquito Bay, where by moonlight the water glows blue-green thanks to magical microorganisms.

After staying in hundreds of hotels in the past few years traveling with my job, I can say that this was one of my best experiences if not the best. I facilitate retreats and training for Army Recruiters in addition to other travels, and we were extremely well taken care of by the front desk, the group coordinator, and the hospitality team, especially Mr. Isaac Varon, and his team Harvey and Felix, as well as Jaders and Pedro poolside. Royal Sonesta has upgraded this hotel from good to great, and it is apparent that they are aiming at excellence in all they do. Each staff member we interacted with had a guest-focus and sincere empathy if anything needed to be resolved. Remarkable people in a great hotel in a lovely beachfront setting. I have every intention of returning with my family on a personal retreat someday soon.

Golden sands, turquoise waters, and tropical breezes abound our oceanfront resort, fresh from a multi-million dollar renovation introducing new exciting experience at our award-winning resort. Nestled between El Yunque Rainforest and a mile stretch of secluded beach, the Wyndham Grand Rio Mar Puerto Rico Golf & Beach Resort in Puerto Rico's most exotic beach, golf and spa resort. 500 magnificent acres with spectacular ocean, rainforest, and lush tropical views serve as backdrops to 400 guestrooms with private balconies and an exclusive 48,000-sq.-ft. Oceanfront Conference Center. Located on the northeast of Puerto Rico's shoreline, the Wyndham Grand Rio Mar is a haven for fun, sun and forging memorable experiences. The resort boasts two championship golf courses & tennis center, spa, fitness center, 10 restaurants & bars, a lively casino, two nature reserves, and a guest experience program that encompasses the beauty and nature of its magical surroundings. No passports or visas are required for US Citizens.
The hotel grounds were beautiful, pools, beach and golf course. The rooms are starting to be outdated. We had air-conditioning issues and ants. We even had to ask to switch rooms. The other catch they don’t let you know about is for each room you have, you have to pay $100 per night, per room for incidentals. Also, more money per room is on cleaning, Wi-Fi, pool services, etc. That ended up being over $500. So you have your room cost. You’re $500 plus $100 a night for room incidentals, and an extra 300 or more for extras. So this hotel is charging a lot and not letting us know until we got there. Your stuck and have to pay. Worth it? No.

Our recent two night stay at El Colonial was simply wonderful! The hotel is beautiful, clean and comfortable, not to mention conveniently located and walkable to everything Old San Juan offers. The open bar is a great amenity that we enjoyed as well….the rum cocktail and the relaxed opportunity to converse with staff and other travelers. What truly sets it apart and makes it exceptional, is the amazing service! Every single member of their team was kind and welcoming, willing to go above an beyond to ensure you an enjoyable stay. Miguel and Adriel stand out especially-they truly embody the definition of hospitality! Rene and another young bartender (cannot remember name-in college for criminology) were great too! If I ever have a chance to return to SJ, I would stay here again, without doubt. I highly recommend you book it too, for a great experience!

Overall this was a great stay, however there were a couple of what I would consider minor issues. Those being that the elevators didn’t always work at peak efficiency, our room wasn’t ready at Check-In (I’ll speak to that later in my review) and as others have said the rooms are a little dated. The thing that stood out to me is how attentive the staff is and the fact that EVERY employee I encountered worked their butts off to ensure that all guests had a wonderful stay. Like I said everyone was so attentive and worked very hard, however their were a few employees that absolutely went above and beyond to ensure we had a quality stay those employees are as follows. Grace DeJesus-When our room wasn’t ready at the posted Check-In she kindly explained what was going on and gave us what I consider fair compensation for our inconvenience. Adrian (who works at the front door)-Greeted us each and every time that he saw us and was always willing to help with food and entertainment recommendations. Joshua (who works at the pool)-Was very friendly and helpful whenever we needed anything and also went as far as to say “Thank you to your family for coming down here and staying at our property” MYRNA (who works at the pool)-In my opinion she was the absolute star of this property and made our time at the pool an awesome experience. The energy that she brings to her job and her desire to ensure that everyone is taken care of is unmatched.

My stay at the Sheraton was amazing!! When we arrived, it was disappointed because I didn’t received any help except for Luis bellman that came sprinting from the lobby to the taxi to help me. There where 2 other bellman stand watching without doing anything there names were Ian and Emanuel which they were struggling even to find me a taxi. At the start I didn’t want it any help because no one offered it, but Luis told me that I was on vacation and on his watch, I was going to enjoy Puerto Rico. He convinced me to accept his service and it was awesome!!! He sent me down to Fajardo and Cabo rojo and everything he did and told me it was above and beyond. I’m definitely coming back if he’s here. And the front desk team did a really good job and the choices team. But Luis THANK YOU!!! And I hope you accomplish everything in the music industry!!!
