Top Río Piedras Hotel Reviews

Wyndham Grand Rio Mar Rainforest Beach and Golf Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

Caribe Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"This was a nice and peaceful resort. If you are looking to relax and enjoy the pool it is great! This is an older resort so just remember not everything is updated yet but I would have to say they keep up with cleanliness! We enjoyed our stay! If you are looking for a hotel that is walkable to lots of restaurants and shops this might not be the best fit for that! But the drive is about 10-15 mins away from old San Juan and Condado!"

Fairmont El San Juan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Cons No microwave available No laundry/dryer on floors Trash disposal throughout was scarce- had to walk around with items rather than have a convenient trash can 🗑️ somewhere No courtesy continental or full breakfast BUT onsite restaurant available Went across street or short walk to hot delicious breakfast (no one had creamers☺️(my crutch) so I settle for hot chocolate from Starbucks (in the lobby along with a few upscale shopping venues LOVED - ambience - def adult vibe - entrance elegant and pampering to a warm relaxing adult mature atmosphere 💓 so many nooks and spaces to get lost in - pool area BEAUTIFUL- 4 pools cabanas that lead directly onto BEACH.. pool bars in room ordering Loved the expectation of suggested dress “code” I.e cover up while inside.. NO SMELL OF smoking OF ANY KIND was a welcome relief!! The STAFF TOP TIER GOLDEN - just helpful in every way- directions - suggestions on sites etc. Parking about $30 daily Make sure to be exact on the amount of days - refund for days not used has been/a challenge to get (pending) So many areas of the hotel - including the casino to enjoy-relax or just get lost!💃"
