#1 IslandGirl Posted August 12, 2004 #1 Share Posted August 12, 2004 We have a room reserved for our nights in San Juan, pre-cruise, at the San Juan Marriott. I'm thinking of switching to the El San Juan or the Ritz. This woudl cost me about $100 more per night. My TA loves the El San Juan. :cool: What do you guys think? Any thoughts or suggestions? Beach and locaiton are important to us as well as the distance from the ship and airport. Thank you! Kelly :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almost Boricua2 Posted August 12, 2004 #2 Share Posted August 12, 2004 The El San Juan and Ritz are both nicer hotels than the Marriott, both in terms of food and pools. They have equally nice beaches. There is more to do in Condado (Marriott) outside of the hotel. Whereas most of you activities and eating would take place inside the hotel at either the ESJ or Ritz. The Marriott is closer to the boat, but further from the airport. The ESJ and Ritz are closer to the airport. Overall, I would not pay $100 more per night for the ESJ or Ritz. The only important difference is nicer higher end restuarants at the ESJ and Ritz (which you can taxi to from the Marriott) and the nicer pools. Just my thoughts, though.

wyocruiser Posted August 12, 2004 #3 Share Posted August 12, 2004 I've only stayed at the Marriott, but I can tell you that we had a beautiful room, with a balcony, overlooking the pool and the ocean. As the previous poster mentioned, there are several stores and restaurants within easy walking distance of the hotel. You can always check out tripadvisor.com for more reviews of all three of these hotels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#1 IslandGirl Posted August 12, 2004 Author #4 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Thank you both. I guess what I really need to hear is that it probably isn't worth the extra $100/night. And this is only a 2 ngiht stay, not a week or anything.... I need to relax, huh? Kelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had a wrap around balcony that had gret views of the ocean and the port/San Juan area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcruise67 Posted February 5, 2005 #6 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Dw and I do a pre and post cruise stay at the Sheraton Old San Juan (Formerly Wyndham), across the street from cruise pier. I booked the Wyndham Condado Plaza for our post cruise stay (Closer to airport - 10-15 Min). The pier is 20 min. from airport. I'm more about convenience, and both hotels offer great amenities.
