  1. AC Hotel Condado, our hotel reservation in Isla Verde was cancelled due to Maria so we switched to here

     

    Lots of price gouging going on

     

    Pros - Good location, can walk to lots of restaurants, comfy bed, pretty rooftop pool with views. They let you go to the San Juan Marriott Casino resort on the beach and use the amenities.

     

    Cons - price too high, room was not our style, modern with tile and we could constantly hear the person above us walking and loud housekeepers yelling to each other in the hallway early in the morning. Sink is in your room, there is only a glazed glass barn door for shower and toilet area separating the room, not much privacy. After sitting for 10 minutes waiting for a waiter for bfast at 10am, we were told they only serve breakfast til 10am, crazy on a weekend.

     

    If you must stay here ask for an upper floor with ocean view. As a rewards member we weren't given much of a room choice. Avoid the side by Burger King.

  2. We rented at the airport in December , since our cruise ship docked at Crown Bay, but they did not do a pre or post inspection on the car.

     

    After returning home, we got a letter from a claims manager from Budget in St. Thomas saying there was damage to the car, which there wasn't. It had a picture of a jeep of a different color than what we rented, and the estimate on damage was 5 days after we rented the car. We responded that it was not damaged when we returned it, and wrote to the corporate office claims division.

     

    If you rent, insist on an inspection before and after the car. Because the rental lot is about 1/4 mile from the airport, they might resist doing it but I would never rent from that location again.

     

    It's great to rent a car, can get around the whole island- we went to Magen's Bay, Sapphire Beach, Coki Beach, and Secret Harbor. Worth it to get around but be careful when you rent!
