San Juan Hotel Recommendation

[sbfanatic]

Can anyone recommend a good, clean, safe, reasonably priced hotel in San Juan? Will be staying 2 to 3 nights pre cruise the latter part of January or early February. We usually travel with a group of 20 to 25 friends. Any help would be appreciated.

We stayed at the Doubletree in the Condado area, it was very nice. It is walking distant to the beach and resteraunts. Also 24 hour grocery store across the street. We did our booking online through their website. I kept watching the prices and we got a king, balcony, pool view for $135.00 a night. It was great we walked out our balcony right to the pool. We stayed there for 5 nights.

We've stayed at the Caribe Hilton before/after 3 cruises, and once for a one week land vacation. So I guess we like it. Not sure when the above poster stayed at the DoubleTree - 135.00 is a great rate in San Juan if it was during January or February.

 

The Caribe is on the water with their own small beach, and a short/cheap taxi ride to Old San Juan. Small grocery/liquor/beer store and a Subway sandwich shop very close by.

We stayed there this past January. I did get lucky, when I originally booked that room was going for over $200.00.

I recommend the San Juan board on Cruise Critic, which is where the Moderators will send this thread anyway:

Hampton Inn Isla Verde. Great free Breakfast , too!

We stayed at the Marriott which had to be one of the nicest we ever stayed at - it was fabulous - so if the budget works - will not be disappointed I am sure. The Sheraton in Old San Juan is also top notch. Near pier also.

Good to know. We'll be staying there in another 34 days. Anywhere close to buy a bottle of wine?

We've stayed at the Marriott Resort and Stellaris Casino twice - if you want to see pictures, my review is linked in my signature.

did feel safe there:)

We have stayed at both the Sheraton Old San Juan and the Verdanza. Both are nice, Verdanza is close to airport and 1 short block to the beach. Several places to eat ans shop are near both. This year we are trying the Casa Blanca for both pre and post, got a good deal with one of the online hotels sites.

Priceline is the way to go for the best deal for sure. Just put 4 stars/resorts and it has always worked out for me to get the room half off.

San Juan hotels are generally pricier than stateside hotels. If money is a big issue, another hotel to consider is the Holiday Inn Express. It's a nice hotel and a little bit cheaper than some of the others.

We enjoyed the Marriott in condado beach, it's right on the beach.

Exactly. All of the resort hotels in the Condado area are great. Do a little research and save some money. :)
