twingles3 Posted June 11, 2014 #1 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I need suggestions for my family of 5 to stay pre cruise in the Condado Beach area. Hotels seem to only accommodate 4 so I would need a vacation rental on the beach (or a block away)with a pool for 3 nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted June 11, 2014 #2 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Could you consider two rooms for five people? If the ages are young, get adjoining rooms, maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twingles3 Posted June 12, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Could you consider two rooms for five people?If the ages are young, get adjoining rooms, maybe? Costs too much! For now I booked a 4 person suite, as it gets close I will call to see if they will let us get a rollaway. Still looking for alternatives that people have actually done. Thanks!

dcikon2 Posted June 12, 2014 #4 Share Posted June 12, 2014 We love staying in Isla Verde at El San Juan Towers. There is a nice large pool and it is located right on the beach. Breakfast is also included with the rooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try asking your question over on the family board if you haven't thought of that already. The only hotel that I stayed at in San Juan was the Intercontinental Hotel in the Isle Verde area and I loved it. It's perfect for a family as there is a great pool and beach and there are inexpensive restaurants within walking distance of the hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swoonx Posted June 12, 2014 #6 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I always stay at La Concha Resort. It seems that you can't reserve for 5 people in the internet. But perhaps you can call them and ask for an additional bed? They full size suites should be big enough for that - once we stayed there with 4 people.

We stayed at La Concha last August with 4 people, when I tried to book for 5 it wouldn't let me. I guess I could call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monicajay Posted June 14, 2014 #9 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Although not in the Condado area, the Embassy Suites has 2 room suites that can accommodate 5. They also include a cooked to order breakfast and I believe a happy hour. I haven't stayed at this one but have stayed at others because we enjoyed the kids could be separated from us (and we often had 2 TV's). Check the reviews. Photos of the pool area look lovely with a pretty waterfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AT least they do have 2 bedroom suites so I put a hold on it as it may be our only option. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjrice1 Posted June 15, 2014 #11 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I was going to book the Embassy Suite for the five of us... decided to put a bid with price line; choice a 3 1/2 star for two rooms. Got the Radisson's close to everything, block from beach, tons of places to eat; Walgreens but no free breakfast. Got both rooms for less than one night at the Embassy.

mrb1963 Posted June 15, 2014 #12 Share Posted June 15, 2014 What price did you get it for on Priceline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirkgun Posted June 15, 2014 #13 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Have you tried Homeaway dot com? We rented a condo that can sleep up to 8 for a couple of nights in January for $115 a night plus cleaning and security fees. It is over in Fajardo by the Bio Bay but I think I saw some listings for the san Juan/ Condado area also. We have also had good luck with Priceline in the past though. It never hurts to try bidding on a pair of rooms in your price range... if they say no, then no harm done. I know we have gotten Caribe Hilton for as cheap as $85 a night per room before and the Radisson Ambassador in Condado for $70. Good luck :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjrice1 Posted June 15, 2014 #14 Share Posted June 15, 2014 (edited) What price did you get it for on Priceline? I started low and up paying $75.00 plus fees.. think both rooms were under $200.00.. Did get the $5.00 insurance per room just in case I didn't like it. (know a lot of doctors and boss will give me a letter can't cruise....lol) Also check out trip advisor and look under vacation rentals.. they do have house/condo's real cheap Cathy Edited June 15, 2014 by rjrice1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I booked a 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo through a private owner at El San Juan Towers. It is a nice location right on the beach. I found her through one of the rental sites, either Homeaway or VRBO dot com. We had 2 rooms booked at a hotel and this saved us just a few bucks but it was nice to have us all together in one place. It came with a kitchen also so we were able to go to Publix and buy a few things for us to eat. I would definately book there again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
