Recommendation for San Juan hotel

[bldsld]

We have decided to fly into San Juan the night before sailing from STT. Does anyone have a recommendation for a hotel? Something near the airport is fine, and we need 2 rooms, which may not be as easy as it sounds: it's the night before Easter Sunday!!!

 

Thanks,

Denyse

Denyse,

Have you tried the Ritz Carlton or the Wyndham El San Juan both are close to the airport. If you don't need to be on the beach the Embassy Suites isn't bad and is generally more reasonably priced.

Hope this helps.

McBoo,

 

Thanks for the suggestion, and no, I haven't tried them because we just made the change. I will go online immediately. Thanks so much!

Looks like all the good hotels are booked McBoo, but I certainly appreciated the suggestion. We may be stuck at the airport hotel with this last-minute change, but as we are only there for 12 hours total, it also may be the most efficient usage of our time.

 

Thanks again! Sure hope Daneite doesn't drink all of the champagne!!!

Hi Denyse. I had toyed with staying in San Juan back when I was planning all of this. We're making a connection there in the early aft on Saturday. I'm sure if you keep looking you'll find a nice place! :)

On Travelocity and Orbitz I found:

InterContinental San Juan Resort and Casino

 

This one looks quite nice and still has availability. Many reviews like this:

I absolutely loved this hotel. It was such a relaxing time. The service was excellent and the scenery was beautiful. Easy access to the beach which was great, plenty of day trips to sign up for. Very clean and rooms are a nice size! Overall a great vacation and i am going to visit again in May. Definitely choose this hotel when you visit Puerto Rico.

If this is the one next to the El San Juan hotel (other side from the ESJ towers) , I have stayed there and it was lovely. If not, sorry<G>

Matt and Jane,

 

Many thanks for the hotel information. We decided to stay at the airport hotel, as we will be there for less than 12 hours. Our friends from NY, with whom we are traveling, booked the rooms earlier today.

 

I'm just happy that we aren't doing all of our flights on the date of sailing. The puddle-jumper to STT will be brief, and we will be rested.

 

Thanks again!

Denyse, what time are you getting into STT? Are you flying Cape Air?

[bldsld]

Matt,

 

From San Juan to STT, we are flying American Eagle. It arrives just before 1:00.

Dearest Seabourn Friends, So sorry about your hotel "difficulties", but we are so jealous that you are about to board our "home away from home" momentarily and we are, temporarilym, "drydocked"! Please consider that whatever resort you are "forced" to accept in this "resort crisis" will be well worth the effort, considering that you will all be onboard our favorite ships very soon! Bon Voyage to all of you extremely fortunate Seabourn sailors! Champagne wishes, caviar dreams, and endless Seabourn cruises for all of us!

Dear "Drydocked in Pacific Palisades",

 

Thank you for the champagne wishes and caviar dreams. Believe me, we wish you were joining us! However, if I had to be drydocked anywhere, Pacific Palisades would be high on my list!!!

 

Feeling your pain,

Denyse

 

(Seriously, cruisecrazyone, there is still time to change your mind and join us!)

Cruisecrazyone -

Yes, I agree - why not join us - there is still time I'm sure and we would all love to see you.

That's what makes Seabourn people so fabulous! We are cheered just to be encouraged to join in! Unfortunately, schedule will not be "in cement" until April 30 and Fall/Winter '05 is next Seabourn possibility for us. You are all the BEST! Cruising with you in spirit (or Pride or Legend??)! Very Best Bon Voyage to all of our Seabourn friends! See you all onboard the Triplets soon!

Cruisecrazyone,

We are in the same boat (ship) as you are it looks like it is going to be fall for us too. The one thing I need to put in a standing order is for is for you and your wonderful husband to be on the team trivia team with Ollie and I.

Aguaranteed winner.

Fondly,

mcboo:):):)

Dearest McBoo--We are both sleeping with encyclopedia volumes under our pillows every night as we "study up"! Trust our beloved Triplets are stocking up on fabulous prizes for all of us! Champagne wishes and caviar dreams will have to suffice until later in the year!

Please come on the crossing in November - we missed you so much last year! We shall have many drinks of champagne for you next week.
