Help deciding on hotel

[2xprincess]

We will be in San Juan for two nights after our cruise and need help deciding on a hotel. We are a family of four....with a 12 and 8 year old. We are considering the Caribe Hilton, El San Juan Hotel & Casino or El Conquistador Resort. Any opinions?

 

Thanks

there are alot of factors that need to be determined. price, location, book direct or using priceline.

el conquistador is 1.3 hr from san juan, it is a huge resort. caribe hilton and hotel sj are located in the capital city and are beach front hotels, one of them located in condado and the other one in isla verde.

We are using HH points and all three are available.....and all three look great! So....having trouble deciding........

Personally I would pick the Caribe. Great location and facilities.

I personally would pick a hotel in Isla Verde. Much nicer.

We just returned from 4 nights at Caribe Hilton after our cruise. It was really nice and has beautiful grounds. Hilton has alot of activities right on the grounds. It is away from the other tourist hotels and out on its own but for us it was perfect. We stayed in the Garden wing which overlooked the tropical gardens. The rooms were lovely and looked like they had been renovated. Big enough for four people. The food in the resort is expensive but there is a Subway sandwich shop close and we ordered delivery from Mike's Pizza and it had wonderful Pasta, Pizza and sandwiches for a reasonable price. I'm sure there are other places that deliver too. There is a local bus for .75 that will take you to Old San Juan or Condado area. You can also walk which we did one day but it gets a little hot. We've would definitely stay here again. Have a wonderful time! :D

I vote Hilton... :)

Are both the El San Juan and the Caribe Hilton in Isla Verde?

[gonzo1124]

No, the Caribe Hilton is near El Condado area at the entrance to Old San Juan. If it was me, I would stay at the Caribe Hilton. Very nice "private" beach, very nice location, great hotel.

Personally, I like the beach in Isla Verde over the other beaches in the San Juan area. I didn't realize this until visiting both Condado, Ocean Park, and Isla Verde beaches.

 

ESJ has a great casino and lively at night.

Sailing on RCCL out of Pan Am Pier - what hotel do you suggest for this area?

 

If not this area - cost of cab to pier?

 

Thank you!

We stayed at El Convento in Old San Juan before our cruise. Place is about 400 years old and is 5 star. Excellent restaurant as well.

 

Interesting to stay in a room that was a convent for centuries. Paintings in the lobby date back to the 1600's. Expensive but worth it. Experience you will always remember.

We also have stayed at El Convento. I would love to go back there again, we were only there for one night, think I'd do two nights if we had the opportunity. We had a corner room with a hugh patio (it looked over buildings, but we could see the ocean from one spot. Jan
