Pros: The exceptional service and accommodations. Twice a day housekeeping, 24 hours pool areas, and peace and quiet. I arrived on my birthday; the staff presented me with a complimentary bottle of champagne along with a card in my bedroom. The room was upgraded to include a balcony. The staff was friendly and for the most attentive to your needs. The beach is a few steps away. The hotel is gorgeous! The hotel was not overstimulating with too many people nor the pool/hot tub areas.
Cons: The food in the hotel restaurants was expensive with small portions. The drinks were creative and just okay.

10.0
Pros: The staff were very accommodating and friendly. Pools were lovely and clean (slightly chilly for my taste). Adults only area was nice. Only tried the patio restaurant which was very good, but pricey ($50 for french toast, OJ, single egg and sausage).
Cons: Room air conditioner had issues. Maintenance was unable to solve the issue and did not notify front desk that the issue was not fixed.
Okay
5.7
Pros: The hotel itself is very pretty and historical.
Cons: The pools are tiny, the service is subpar, housekeeping was always late and turndown service was spotty at best. The receptionists weren't helpful at all, in fact it felt like they were doing us a favor every time we had questions. The service at the pool often took up to 45 minutes to come by and it felt like they were purposely not making eye contact in order to slow things down even more. Not recommended.
Excellent
9.7
Pros: At the end of the day, the service provided by this hotel and its excellent staff is what takes it to the next level. From the moment you arrive, they make sure that everything is taken care of for you and then some, to ensure that you enjoy your leisure time to the maximum. Room Service, Pool Service, Concierge, in-house restaurants...everything was spectacular.
Cons: No beach access

Pros: Very comfortable bed, bathtub seats two, service is top notch! The property is beautiful
Cons: I was there a year ago and the hotel was pristine! Now I see the hotel not being cared for. Paint chipping, vents in my room were dusty & rusted. Also, there were too many young children for my liking. Housekeeping was attentive to my requests but not thorough in cleaning. Dusty lamp, bathtub was dirty. The small things make all the difference. I also wish the property had more night time entertainment.

9.4
Pros: Beautiful room - even the pull out couch was extremely comfortable - memory foam mattress! The lobby staff (registration, concierge, bell hop, etc) was very attentive and friendly. The hotel has a very classic feel of old luxury. I would definitely stay there again!
Cons: The beach was actually over at the neighboring hotel, they said we would have full service at their beach but every time we went, they were "out" of umbrellas on the Vanderbilt side of the beach. We counted and they only had about 12 umbrellas in total for Vanderbilt guests which is ridiculous! Also the are designated for Vanderbilt is over in the corner without a direct view of the ocean. I was disappointed.
Okay
4.2
Cons: I arrived at 3:40 pm and was told that the room I booked is not available. The front desk staff guaranteed that it would be ready by 4pm, but when I came back at 4:06pm I was told again the room is not ready. I finally checked in by 5pm and nobody explained why. They gave me two key cards and one doesn't work which kept me out of the room when I came back from swimming the other day. It is the most terrible experience that I have and I definitely don't recommend this hotel
Excellent

Pros: Very nice room and oceanfront beautiful.
Cons: Service at pool side restaurant slow and poor. Staff not attentive and had to leave table to ask for serviice. This happened at breakfast and lunch. Had a bad experience with quality of food served and staff did not offer to correct. Once food served waiter never came back to table to see if I needed anything. After this experience decided to eat dinner outside of hotel. Front desk staff great.
Excellent
10.0
Pros: Our overall stay was amazing. The food and drinks were a bit costly, but it is a five star resort. The staff were helpful, friendly and the service was outstanding. Our tour guide stated " once you stay at the Vanderbilt, you will not stay anywhere else". My fiancé and I agree!
Excellent

Cons: Not much to dislike.

6.2
Pros: Service was good, but disorganized. Sundeck was nice. Staff was friendly whenever you saw them.
Cons: Our room had a musty odor and did not smell clean. There's a big variation in rooms. We upgraded to an "Oceanview" room - but looked out onto a roof and an abandoned building with the ocean tucked to the right. When I complained, they said their "Oceanfront" rooms are all suites and cost $200 more a night. What? So not worth it! If I was to return to Puerto Rico, I'd stay at La Concha and eat at Pinkys everyday. Vanderbilt was so not worth it.
Located in Isla Grande, this aparthotel is within a 15-minute walk of Puerto Rico Convention Center and Pan American Pier. Centro Europa and Port of San Juan are also within 3 mi (5 km).

Nice view to the harbor and the cruise line. If you are traveling to take a cruise (Royal Caribbean terminal) it just right there. Overall is a 4 star hotel.

Pros: Staff was super friendly and helpful. Joyce promptly answered my emails/questions before we got there. Location was perfect. Right in Old Town San Juan.
Cons: Couldn't find an outlet in the bathroom. Made it a bit more difficult to get ready in the morning. Room was small but wasn't an issue for us because we were only in our room to sleep.
Excellent
10.0
Pros: This was our second visit. We love the historic and quaint atmosphere this hotel provides, exactly the experience we wanted in Old San Juan. This small hotel is not crowded and staff treat you like a personal guest. They go above and beyond to help you and ensure you enjoy your stay.
Cons: It can be a bit noisy but at no fault of the hotel. When you stay on Fortaleza St you are in the center of the action and hear music from neighboring restaurants. We did not mind this. Being in the center of things was important to us and we felt part of the activity and excitement that is Old San Juan.
Excellent
9.7
Pros: This is a very charming little hotel in a great location in the middle of Old San Juan, and the staff is incredibly friendly. I highly recommend it.
Cons: The bed was pretty hard. I overpaid because I booked through this site. I would have paid much less booking with the hotel directly. I recommend you do that.
Excellent
10.0
Pros: Beautiful hotel!!! Excellent staff! Fantastic location. Our A/C was leaking and they could not get it to stop. The hotel had no other rooms available so to fix the problem they moved us to a nearby hotel. The new place was beautiful as well and it felt like we got an upgraded room. We were very impressed with how the situation was resolved so quickly and smoothly.
Cons: Nothing! Would have loved to have stayed there if the A/C would have stopped leaking. But they fixed the situation very quickly.

9.7
Pros: We loved our stay at this cozy little boutique hotel in the heart of Old San Juan! Lots of character and small rooms (which we liked and found so comfortable). Loved the chandeliers in the bedroom and even bathroom! The staff was so accommodating and friendly and hauled my overstuffed, incredibly heavy bag all the way up 5 flights of stairs with no problem (they don't have an elevator yet). The rooftop was so unique and overlooked the city too! I would highly recommend if you're looking for a different kind of experience than the Hilton and big chain hotels.
Cons: They're currently installing an elevator but the staff will gladly carry bags up the stairs for you.

Pros: Hotel was very cleaned, staff was so attentive and personable, room was comfortable enough for 2 people.

7.4
Pros: I liked the location on Calle Fortaleza, close to good restaurants and to parking lot.
Cons: The room was incredibly small. I need to talk to someone in the front desk to get my key, and they had a sign that says "for help text x number". Nobody answered until the next day when I had left already. How did I finally get my key? I opened the desk and there it was, no help, no security, no supervision. I just took it and kept going.
Excellent
8.8
Pros: Friendly helpful staff. Excellent location. Iconoclastic décor.
Cons: I very much enjoyed staying at this hotel, but it does not meet the lowest level of fire safety standards. There is only one open stairway leading to all the floors and no secondary means of escape--not even a fire escape. There is not separation between the lobby and the restaurant. There is no sprinkler system.
Excellent
8.2
Pros: Charming boutique hotel. Delicious restaurant in house. Staff was great and the location is excellent!
Cons: The room size and the elevator need work
This family-friendly San Juan hotel is located near the airport, within 1 mi (2 km) of Playa Ocean Park and Casino del Mar at La Concha Resort. Condado Beach and Carolina Beach are also within 3 miles (5 km). Sacred Heart Station is 27 minutes by foot.

3.1
Pros: The "garden" looks nice
Cons: Doors with a traditional key, very hard to latch, lock or unlock. Everybody was slamming the doors all night long. Not sure how many people that stayed there have made a copy of the key. I've got an elevator shaft in my room. Yes, really. My room was built around an elevator shaft. Bed was on one side right next to the door which was next to the elevator door. Bathroom was on the other side, AC was there too. To get to the bathroom from my bed I had to go around behind the elevator shaft. Also didn't get much cold air from AC, it was too hot and you can imagine all the noise. My room was also oriented to the street where every five minutes somebody stopped their car with loud music all night long. I couldn't sleep at all. Too hot, noise coming from AC, elevator, people talking while waiting for elevator, people slamming the doors, noise from car stereos. I could just have stayed at the airport sleeping on the floor for free. Breakfast was very simple, served outside, in the hot, humid weather. Wind was constantly blowing my napkins and stuff away. Transportation from the airport did cost too much because the hotel was not listed in any zone. Paid $20. The hotel is exactly between the airport and the cruise port, which costs $10 to transfer between. They took a photocopy of my credit card including the CVV code and my ID, which violates PCI compliance BTW, when I asked them for how long they are going to store it, they couldn't tell me when they are going to shred it, probably never. The Italian restaurant near by, I don't even.... Just don't. Never again.
Excellent

Pros: great value everything as listed...no surprises great location, safe tourist area and friendly staff super free coffee machine available all day mini bar in room with more than reasonable prices will definitely be my first choice if I return to PR
Cons: if you are there for a pre-cruise be forwarned that the breakfast area is small and although the staff are great they were overwhelmed but still managed to take care of everyone with a smile, just plan a little extra time for breakfast !
Located in Old San Juan, this luxury hotel is steps away from Statue of Ponce de Leon, San Juan Gate and San Juan Cathedral. La Fortaleza and Castillo de San Cristobal are also within 10 minutes.

I wanted to share my experience regarding supervisor Javier from the Palacio location. We were moved for the Convento site to the Palacio site due to torn sheets, unswept under beds with leftover toys from previous dwellers, malfunctioning air conditioning, and cockroaches presence in our room. Helen was kind and personally assisted us in our room transitions. We were advised to obtain breakfast vouchers and met Javier at the front desk. Javier, to say the least, is rude and unfriendly. He was rolling his eyes and just appeared unwilling to assist. He was argumentative about the fact that the food vouchers were not issued by Helen. Javier pointed at my 3 year old son and sarcastically asked if he is going to eat as well insinuating that he should not be eating. Javier should not be dealing with customers as he does not know what customer service means.

Pros: Every staff interaction was terrific. Friendly, eager, helpful, welcoming. Front desk, restaurant (tapas bar, food and staff shine!) History just walks the halls with you! The rooftop pool and hot tub with harbor view at sunset was something special. Then we left a coat behind, and discovered it after our cruise ship left, they packed it up and Shipped it home.
Cons: Having to leave so soon. Should have booked a much longer stay!

Pros: The Hotel Staff is bilingual, loves travelers, will always say hello, will help you find your way around, will feed you until you are stuffed, will make you feel like you are in a family home. This location is across the street from one of the oldest Catholic Cathedrals in North America. Centrally located in Old San Juan for UBER rides, two ancient forts and fabulous restaurants within a block or two. Police are everywhere protecting your safety.
Cons: Main elevator kept breaking down with immediate repair by local Contracted company. Any baggage moves handled by Hotel. They helped us totally through this minor problem.

Zen Spa was also great, relaxing and the therapists very helpful.
Cons: However we were overcharged a small amount by Zen Spa and it’s been over a week since our stay and we haven’t been reimbursed for the mistake by the Zen Spa staff. It’s looking like we will have to go there again personally to take care of the problem.

Pros: My first three nights here, I stayed at a room with a balcony and it was amazing. It's right in the heart of Old San Juan so you get to wake up eaveryday with the beautiful city noice of the livily city outside. It really is an amazing place to stay for a long time. Try to stay in a room with balcony, you will love it.
Cons: I absolutely hated that there's never parking available at any time of the day for your rental car. If you don't have a car then this will be the perfect place for you.
Located in Old San Juan, this hotel is steps away from Pier 3, Port of San Juan and Teatro Tapia. Pier 4 and Pier 1 are also within 5 minutes.

Pros: Great stay but had ask repeatedly for washcloths. Going green ( no maid service, just fresh towels ) was pefect....and received a $5 coupon each day you go green. Used it in the restaurant. Downside, they forgot to give it to us one day. And still no washcloths!! Another downside, cable reception was horrible all 4 nights!!! No TV for longer than 20 or so minutes. Very aggravating. So dont expect to relax to a movie or occupy the kiddies while you get ready for dinner. Front desk never had an answer and nothing they could do. Otherwise, great location, comfy beds, quiet hallways at night.

Pros: Nice view to the bay, pretty roof swimming pool and good gym
Cons: No parking, bad service in the front desk. No attention to the guest. They send me to the wrong room with a family inside... They don't pay attention to what they do in the front desk. Not possible to book in the front desk the man make me reserve through a phone and it was not possible. At the end, I had to make the booking on my cellphone because they were not kind enough to make me a reservation.

Pros: The hotel is in a great location for touring Old San Juan. Taxi access great and right on the waterfront. The staff and service here is perfect.
Cons: It's so unbelievably overpriced for a mid-range style Sheraton it made us choke paying their prices. However, they know they can hold you hostage with those prices given the other hotel options in Old San Juan. Its quite loud in the hallways, but I must say the location is awesome.

Pros: Great location in Old San Juan. A bit pricey, but you're walking distance to everything in Old San Juan. Room was clean, staff was friendly. I loved my stay. Got to the airport, picked up the rental car, drove to the Sheraton, and didn't drive it again until we left the next evening.
Cons: The parking was like $20 a day or so. Valet only. There is parking nearby in a garage that is more economical. We chose to leave out car with the hotel.

Pros: I like the location. The staff was excellent. I like that they have a concierge to help set up excursions. I like the spacious room and modern decor. The best st is the coffee shop in the lobby and the burger place next door is yummy.
Cons: I had an inner room so did have much of a view but that's ok. I didn't spend kuch time int the room. I would have liked if they had a small store to buy sodas candy and chips.
Located in Puerta de Tierra, this beachfront resort is in the historical district and within a 10-minute walk of Fort San Jeronimo, Third Millennium Park and Luis Muñoz Rivera Park. Escambron Beach and Condado Beach are also within 15 minutes.

Pros: Let me start by saying that I am the type of person that reads negative reviews and most of the time ignores them because I feel some people can never be happy or they paid the price of a 2 star resort and expected services and amenities of a 6 star resort, that is not the situation with me and the Caribe Hilton. Also, I am not a newbie when it comes to travel. I cannot possibly fathom why someone would stay at this resort instead of going to an all inclusive in Aruba, Jamaica, River is Maya, etc... an all inclusive would be less than half the cost when considering food and drink (no exaggeration). Let me put it this way, if the Caribe Hilton was an all inclusive, it would be my least favorite all the resorts that I've been to but it is not all inclusive and you get price gouged with food and drink. Way, way, way too expensive for the value. You are not within walking distance to anything worth noting. Some will tell you that Old San Juan is within walking distance, that's bullcrap, unless you are a person that runs a couple miles every day it is not. It is close to a half hour walk. Who the hell wants to walk a half hour in 86 degree weather then walk up and down the hilly streets of Old San Juan all day then walk another half hour back to the hotel? The city did put in an awesome bicycle path so I guess you could do that, we didn't want to have to worry about them getting stolen while we shopping or eating. I enjoyed Old San Juan but if I wanted to visit again, it would be by a shore excursion while on a cruise. Our room was nice and clean. There were not that many people at the resort, wonder why, but you still couldn't get a good seat at the pool or Lagoon. The pools were small and freshwater and I worried because they didn't have chlorine the type of germs and things that were in it. The hotel was kind enough to put free fruit flavored water out for a few hours a day that ranged from refreshing to disgusting depending on the type of fruit. There was a wedding held there the Saturday we were there. An entire section of the beach was closed down and all the hammocks were removed because of the wedding. The hammocks were one of few things i enjoyed. At the end of the wedding, sometime between midnight and 1AM, someone decided to light off fireworks which I typically enjoy but not being woke out off a sound sleep and not going off feet from my room's balcony.The staff were friendly and helpful except when I was asked at checkout if I had a nice stay and I said not really, the girl just smiled and handed me my check. That was the icing on the cake for me, not only would I never stay at this resort again I would never stay at a Hilton again. For the grande finale, this hotel charges you a hotel fee on top of quoted price AND it is not cheap. Not sure if this is legal, but they know you can't do anything but gripe and moan because it isn't like you can walk to the hotel next door. Bottom line is if you are not concerned about money it's great

Pros: I like the exclusive beachfront and pool area with the view and close proximity to old San Juan.
Cons: The staff was rude and sarcastic except for two which I came across towards the end my stay but far in between. Was treated as if we didn't matter since my arrival. Was told I could check in early as long as I paid a $75 fee when I spoke to them over the phone a day earlier and once I arrived was told I had to wait and I waited 6 hours.

Pros: The location was excellent: right between old San Juan and Condessa. The pool was small but it was made for hanging around and sunning. Beautiful old ruins right next to the hotel made it picturesque. My view of the sea was beautiful.

Pros: Updated, modern, clean room. Nice large bathroom. Bed is comfortable.
Cons: Shouldn't have to pay for premium wifi. The tv channels were all blurry. Water pressure was terrible. Breakfast choices were only overpriced restaurants that were terrible. Don't recommend eating anywhere on the hilton grounds. I arrived early and was told I would be called or texted when a room was available. I never was and was watching the front desk as others checked in. Not good customer service. The a/c is motion activated so it won't keep the room cold if there isn't movement which sucks when you come in from the hot humidity of San Juan and it wouldn't cool down as much as the thermostat said it was set to. The room was hot for me. There is no noise buffering between the walls I heard conversations and music playing in the next room or as people walked down the hallway.

Had to spend the first 2 nights in 2 separate rooms because our reserved room was not empty. The keys stop working every 2-3 days. Dated and not well maintained. Decent location but not worth the price

Pros: The hotel cancelled my reservation without communicating this to me in any way. I called to confirm, in light of the hurricane and was told it had been cancelled. This was a month after the storm and just 2 wks prior to my scheduled arrival. I feel the hotel or it's parent company IHG had a responsibility to notify me by phone or email as soon as possible to make other plans. Please, note, the hotel was operational and housing relief workers.
Cons: Poor communication

Pros: I have to say at first look you think you did not get a good deal. However, the cleanliness and the staff and the location can’t be beat!. And I can’t stress it enough just how great the staff was. You can ask them anything and they will accommodate you to the best of their abilities. Even though it’s a huge tourist industry they treat everyone so well. If I were to go back to San Juan I would definitely stay in this location again
Cons: I think the only thing that could’ve been better is the dehumidifier in the room fills up really fast but I wouldn’t say that that was a horrible thing but it helps to have it empty. It keeps the room much cooler.
