El Canario hotels?

has anyone heard or experienced any of the El Canario hotels in the Condado Beach area...we kind of like the idea of a smaller hotel or bed and breakfast...saw this one on the internet and are curious...

As you may be aware, there are three El Canario's.

We've stayed at El Canario by the Sea twice, and it's a good basic hotel property in our opinion. Fresh fruit and pastries for breakfast, as I recall. We would definitely consider them again in the future.

I've also walked past the other two properties. Of the three, and judging just from the outside now, I would pick the El Canario Inn.

The location of all three is great, and there are plenty of fast food places and a Walgreen's nearby.

Thanks for the info. We were looking for somthing inexpensive yet different and the Inn looked intersting. We've booked the El Canario Inn pre and post cruise in September.

My husband and I are book at the EL Canrio by the sea? Did you use the beach? If so how was it? I hear you can take the bus that is .50 to the Old San Juan. Did you do this or go by taxi? We have this booked for April. We wanted old San Juna but I am not paying $200 or more. I got this hotel for $129.

Hi!

I have stayed at the El Canario and the El Canario by the Sea. If you keep your expectations low these are fine properties. Basic, clean and quaint! The beach is just outside the door and about 20 feet from El Canario by the Sea. It's about a two block walk from El Canario.

There is also another property I can recommend, Tres Palmas. This small hotel is in the neighborhood between Isla Verde and Condado. It is right across the street from the sea, but you would need to walk about three blocks for beach access. There about 14 rooms. They have a small pool. The management is wonderful! If you decide to try I would ask for a room in the back, less street noise.

That rate sounds just a bit high. We stayed in early May (two years ago, I believe) for about $70.

They do offer discounts for AAA, and maybe AARP.

We stayed in the third one, El Canario by the Lagoon, last year, for $90.

Not bad, clean rooms, basic, with a decent continental breakfast. Condado is a pricey neighborhood, and we thought it was a good value considering all.
