sbfanatic Posted February 11, 2012 #1 Share Posted February 11, 2012 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.

vegascruiser1 Posted February 11, 2012 #2 Share Posted February 11, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouhunter Posted February 11, 2012 #3 Share Posted February 11, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted February 11, 2012 #5 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I recommend the San Juan board on Cruise Critic, which is where the Moderators will send this thread anyway: http://www.boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=131 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwings1958 Posted February 11, 2012 #6 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Hampton Inn Isla Verde. Great free Breakfast , too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUIS4ME Posted February 11, 2012 #7 Share Posted February 11, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davekathy Posted February 11, 2012 #8 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Hampton Inn Isla Verde. Great free Breakfast , too! Good to know. We'll be staying there in another 34 days. Anywhere close to buy a bottle of wine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coralc Posted February 11, 2012 #10 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I recommend Priceline. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzin RN Posted February 12, 2012 #11 Share Posted February 12, 2012 We also stayed at Caribe Hilton...we needed a cab to get downtown (downside),but I did feel safe there:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenjiRodney Posted February 12, 2012 #12 Share Posted February 12, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadbeck Posted February 12, 2012 #13 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I recommend Priceline. :) 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseguy1016 Posted February 12, 2012 #14 Share Posted February 12, 2012 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.

newlifeca Posted February 12, 2012 #15 Share Posted February 12, 2012 We enjoyed the Marriott in condado beach, it's right on the beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just put 4 stars/resorts and it has always worked out for me to get the room half off. Exactly. All of the resort hotels in the Condado area are great. Do a little research and save some money. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
