Food, staff, the pool, the beach, was amazing!! I wish the balcony was a bit bigger as it is kind of scary. But I would definitely come back here! 10/10

Condado Vanderbilt Hotel
Fabulous hotel. So classy! Great location and view. Thought the Heritage rooms could have been a bit bigger for the price tag, and prefer having hotel rooms without carpets. Food was amazing! Love the service you get poolside - all the staff were so nice and personable. Would love to return to this ...
