    Having a wonderful stay here for NYE and our honeymoon! The hotel is beautiful and classy. The staff is incredible!!!! I can't say enough about how sweet they were. We booked via Amex and recieve alot of extra benefits that they walked us through. There were no upgraded rooms available due to the holiday but they gave us $100 hotel credit without even asking. They also sent a bottle of Moet and a happy honeymoon card. 10/10 recommend this hotel for a special occasion.

    The Condado Vanderbilt Hotel was a very good choice for my birthday celebration stay, this year. Besides the fact that is in a centric location, the service was phenomenal and it made for a great experience. It was great to be greeted with a glass of champagne and water after a late flight. I felt pampered and enjoyed all their services-From their piano bar/ restaurant, to their Spa, pools and their bar with view to the ocean. It was a very pleasant experience.

    High-end Hotel with options Lovely expensive hotel with killer beach front views, how's a girl on a budget able to enjoy? Simple, you can always have lunch at the hotel!! It is the perfect way to spend time at the hotel without breaking the proverbial bank. We arrived at this beautiful hotel on our last day, we wanted to soak in the sun and live it up at the beach. The food was delicious and beautiful, the drinks were tropical and lovely. The bathroom was upscale and classy. If you get the chance, you can either stay at the hotel or eat at their restaurant. Happy traveling and enjoy!!

    I've stayed here twice and don't think I'll ever stay anywhere else when in San Juan. The building is gorgeous and historic. The lobby smells amazing and the rooms are beautiful. Customer service has always been good.

    Upgraded to the penthouse! Fantastic room! Great views up and down the main street, fantastic sunsets.

    Hands down, best experience in Puerto Rico so far. Thank you Shae for that A++ star treatment! You TRULY made this surgeon's vacation easy. Shae helped me with planning my entire stay, suggesting venues in Old San Juan and which companies to trust when going to Vieques! We go to Puerto Rico every year for a week to visit family and usual stay at a different nice hotel. However, we decided to splurge since I graduated from my surgery program and am making big bucks and are now going to be loyal Vanderbilt guests for life!

    The Vanderbilt is an historic hotel. Originally built at the beginning of the 20th century, it has undergone many renovations and was restored to its former glory about 10 years ago. The decor of the lobby is warm, rich, and elegant. The staff is always willing to help. Our rooms had balconies with city views. They were fine, but considering the price I thought they could be a bit nicer. The bed and linens were very comfortable. The bathroom had a large shower, but not much counter space. Snacks are complimentary and we ordered our fair share of chocolate bars! In order to use the fridge, you will have to take out all of the mini bar beverages. The main pool is lovely. It is located on the second floor, so the chaises look right over the ocean. All of the beaches in Puerto Rico are public. The hotel has chairs and towels available on a small part of Condado Beach. On that side of the hotel you will also find the small adult pool and jacuzzi. The hotel has several restaurants, including STK. We only ate at the restaurant near the pool when we arrived. The restaurant was good but it was a pricey lunch. Everything at the Vanderbilt will be pricier than most other places, including the spa and even cocktails. There is no casino on the premises, but you can walk a block to the the La Concha, a Marriott managed hotel that has a lot going on as opposed to the more refined Vanderbilt. The hotel worked for this vacation, it there are definitely other hotels I would try next time.

    It simply feels like luxury! And when you're greeted with champagne upon check-in, you certainly feel like royalty. Spacious. Beautiful views. We had a not-so-mini fridge that had drinks stocked and I still had room to add the fruits and water I brought with us. The staff show great attention to your needs. And we dined at two restaurants on site. Valet parking is worth getting.

    Beautiful oceanfront restaurant with a white variety of choices. On the pricey side, but worth it for the quality and views.

This resort is on a beautiful beach, so the views were breathtaking. The room was nice and spacious and the housekeeping staff were AMAZING!! I can't say enough about this place and the employees. I highly recommend this resort. I'll definitely be visiting again!!

    This is a Marriott hotel right on the beach in San Juan. There is a high resort fee but which beach…read morehotel doesn't these days. The hotel is lovely! There is plenty of seating places. I had to work in the lobby while they cleaned our room and the high tables made working easier. There is a fragrance in the lobby that irritates my allergies though. Front desk: service is hit or miss depending on who is working the front desk but all employees are professional. Arrival: we came by Uber and the staff is outside the car door ready to assist with luggage and whatever else you might have that needs to be unloaded. Bar: we received some drink vouchers. We ordered the free drink with passion fruit. Our bartender was a young man with curly hair and he made a great drink! Room: sleep quality is very good to excellent!! The hotel is always hopping and we were able to have a good night sleep. Only during our second night, did I briefly hear a neighbor slam a door, but other than that nothing. The door is very comfortable and large with plenty of seating and a nice balcony to see the ocean. We were here on work so not having a desk made work challenging but the coach really helped with the large table. It worked perfect! Mini fridge, safe, and nice Nespresso coffee machine. The room is surface clean meaning it appears clean, but if you wear white socks, they will turn black. A/C: there are some quirky setting on the A/C. If you don't put it on recirculate, the room will get hot at night. WIFI: It is hit and miss. Day 1 i had to use my phone as a hotspot to connect to a work call. Day 2 the WIFI was strong for my conference calls. Front room: nice large coach with separate TV but the window was weird and not very private but the extra sliding door helped. Bathroom: excellent lightening and vent fan in the bathroom. Very spacious. Room service: Make sure to put the sign on your door or room service can take a very long time to get to your room. After breakfast I put out the sign and I was serviced quickly within 2 hours. The first day I forgot to put out the sign and the room was not serviced until after 5pm. Pools: there is a nice pool and beach access.

    Overview: I rounded up to five stars, but in reality La Concha should receive 4.5 stars. Great…read morestaff, nice rooms, but some details need improving including housekeeping and WiFi. Review is based on a four night stay. Overall, I recommend La Concha. It's a Marriott affiliate with some personality and class. Arrival: Arrived by Uber. Helpful doormen and luggage attendants. Check in: Overall good check in process. Marriott status acknowledged with a serious room upgrade to a suite. Room was not yet ready, and the receptionist gave us some free drink vouchers for the bar. Room (954): A spacious sweet. Living room included a colossal sectional, large TV, dresser, and breakfast table. The living room also included a Nespresso machine and a mini-refrigerator. Bedroom included a king bed with a bench and nightstands. One negative about this suite: lack of a desk. I was on business, and working from the sofa sectional got old fast. Bathroom: Excellent lighting. Spacious and clean shower. Bed: Decent but not great mattress. Sleep quality: Above average Patio: Nice patio with two chairs and a small table; really enjoyed drinking coffee on the patio watching the surf. WiFi: WiFi when it worked was generally fast. But I missed a video conference due to poor connectivity the day before we left. Housekeeping: Overall housekeeping was good, but the floors were not thoroughly cleaned before our arrival or during our stay. Pools and beach: Multiple pools to lounge by. Great poolside food and drink service. Nice beach (but it can be dangerous to swim at times) with typical seaweed issues. Staff: All of the hotel staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. Great staff overall! Value: Overall good value Overall common area cleanliness: Excellent Misc Tips: (1) There are many decent restaurants within walking distance. (2) There's a large grocery store called SuperMax about 1 mile away. It's worth the Uber fare to stock up on everything from alcohol to snacks (including gifts to take home, such as Puerto Rican coffee for $2.95 / 8 ounce pack

    "Apparently" home to THE Pina Colada. Had to check it out, here was my experience…read more AMBIANCE Parking: Hotel/resort parking setup--easy if you're staying there, it can get costly if you're not. Couldn't find street parking. Rideshare is probably the move. Seating: Indoor bar seating plus an outdoor terrace area with ocean views. Plenty of room to relax and take your time. Vibes: You're in a touristy area so it's pretty clean. It's a polished tropical resort energy. Palm trees, ocean breeze, and people fully leaning into vacation mode. It's definitely tourist-friendly so great for lovebirds and families. FOOD / DRINKS Piña Colada (Recommend) This is the reason you come here. Just as advertised - creamy, smooth, coconut-forward, and balanced with pineapple sweetness without feeling overly sugary. The rum comes through cleanly, and the icy texture makes it refreshing. CUSTOMER SERVICE A little hiccup in the beginning but they started getting things going. TL;DR OVERALL 3.5 Stars. Solid. Selections were good, price was expected, same goes for the experience. If you desire experiencing Puerto Rico/cocktail history then go for it! However it was a bit touristy for me and I'm curious about the other spot. Aside from that if you're busy with family and this happens to be convenient for y'all, be sure to check it out! TIPS * The other home of the Pina Colada is the Barrachina Restaurant!

    Mixed feelings. We loved our stay here in July 2014, but returning with our kids in July 2026 was a…read morebit of a bummer overall. What saved the trip was the staff. Genuinely excellent customer service throughout the property -- friendly, professional, and helpful at every turn. Special thanks to Manager Cyd, who was gracious and offered us a great deal after some issues came up, and to Roberto at Bagua, who deserves a specific mention. Many others helped too, too many to name. We'd already paid and it was the busiest long weekend, so options were limited. But the staff did everything they could, and that's the main reason this is 3 stars instead of 1 -- the property didn't match our 2014 experience, but the people absolutely did.
