    After a long 9 hours in flight from LAX, I immediately hit the lobby bar for some food and rum lol. Really attentive service from the bartender and I went with his suggestion. Ordered the Puerto Rican longaniza sliders and truffle fries. Paired that with a 7 year old rum from Don Q. My only complaint is I wish the sliders had more meat cause they were delicious. The truffle fries were also better than some places in the mainland US.

    Take a taxi to charming Viejo San Juan,. An early breakfast at La Mollorca or Café Manolín + Café con Leche/Mollorca Pastry!

    This is one of the most wonderfully managed hotel properties on the island, it's classy and relaxing. There is often entertainment. The beach area cannot be beat! Service here is top notch and the place feels like Puerto Rico. It doesn't feel like you're in Florida or just any other sunny spot, the food the music speaks to the pride of this island! Do not hesitate to book here he will absolutely not be disappointed, it's not only a favorite of visitors. It's a favorite of locals who want the best! Enjoy, its charms and welcoming nature!!! A WINNER! A genuine Puerto Rican experience, top hospitality of fancier hotels but TOTALLY relaxing and never boring. Class all the way! PS The Bellman Staff offers warm welcome, excellent service the minute you arrive to the property! They take great pride in their work!

    Pros: 5min from airport beach front access to beach umbrellas and lounge chairs (free with wristband) casino, quick cafe, and restaurant on site the restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating huge pool area with restaurant services available poolside the quick cafe has coffee and pastries that have prices comparable to major coffee shops clean and cozy rooms with view friendly staff Cons: resort fee not fully explained at checkin upgrade fee not explained at checkin -was told I was upgraded due to Marriott status (upgraded a king partial ocean view to king full ocean view) they give a casino voucher ($5) at checkin however it's only if you spend at least the $5 upfront and it's only for table games. Paid Parking garage fee daily

    Super nice check in after 1am. Took delays stateside for weather. Casino open till 2am. No restaurant or room service open after 11pm; lame. Huge comfy rooms. No rolling brown outs today. I got upgraded to a nice partial ocean view room on the top floor 12. I am a Marriott guy and fan.

    Nice place to hang your hat for a couple of days while visiting some family nearby. The hotel has a great breakfast buffet under $20.00 and excellent service. Bar is busy at night out back with great staff who make drinks for you. Casino was adequate but took some Benjamin's from me. Comfortable room and spacious. Enjoyed the beach while we had time in the mornings this week it just happened to rain each afternoon.

    I don't usually make reviews about all of my traveles but I had to do one for this property. This resort is very attractive even though it's under construction which wasn't intrusive to the guest. It's right behind the airport which didn't bither me at all and I figured how convenient lol. The Front Desk Staff and Concierge were AMAZING and so accommodating, the Casino Staff need a hospitality/good manners course regardless if you speak English or not you can be pleasant and smile at ALL guests. The Valet/Parking Staff were awesome and hospitable. The rooms are spacious and we took advantage of our balcony daily to watch the sunrise each morning but the mattresses aren't that comfortable and the carpet needs updating. I would definitely come back but what makes me hesitant is the beach rules. The Beach Staff were collecting the chairs and umbrellas while they were occupied by seniors(My Mom being one of them), a pregnant woman and the rest of us who were relaxing. They also collect the umbrellas at 5:30 pm and 6pm they collect the chairs even though it's officially Summer and we have the difference in daylight hours. My mother is a senior citizen and that was extremely disturbing to us. We were sitting on the ground each day after the chairs were collected. In all my travels, I have never seen a practice like that at a resort. Don't get me wrong we understand rules but it didn't make any sense and it wasn't hospitable. My Mom was extremely upset the first day but we just adjusted after that so that we could enjoy ourselves. I would encourage management to come up with a better system for Summer hours especially for a beachfront resort. Other than that, I'd suggest this hotel.

    All the staff we encountered here had a friendly, positive, fun attitude. Lena checked us in and lifted our spirits. The gentleman who helped with our bags was efficient and oriented us to the room features. Raphael was our waiter in the beachfront restaurant with gorgeous view; and he was very accommodating to our diet needs and allergies. The property was very pretty and updated, and the lobby was under construction, walled off in a tasteful manner. We'd love to return to the Courtyard by Marriott Isla Verde.

    Vista is incredible!

    We had a lovely lunch and wonderful company today at The Marriott Hotel. Our friend, Jose showed us around and we loved it!

    See all

    Worst Hotel Experience - Misleading Photos & Unprofessional Management…read more We recently stayed at TRYP by Wyndham in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and it was without a doubt the worst hotel experience we've ever had. We had booked this stay to celebrate a special occasion--our anniversary--and were extremely disappointed from the moment we arrived. To be clear, this review is not a reflection of the front desk reception staff, who were courteous and doing their job. However, the property itself was nothing like the photos advertised on Expedia. The exterior of the hotel was run down and immediately gave off an unwelcoming, neglected impression. Despite our initial concerns, we tried to keep an open mind and proceeded to park our rental car and check in. The experience quickly went downhill from there. As soon as we stepped into the elevator, it was clear that cleanliness was not a priority. The floors were dirty, the walls had visible smudges, and it was obvious the area had not been properly cleaned or maintained. We hoped things would improve once we got to our room--but it only got worse. The hallway leading to our room had a strong, unpleasant odor--like mildew or damp laundry left out for too long. When we entered our room, we were absolutely appalled. The shower was filthy, with so much buildup on the glass door that you could barely see through it. The tiles were broken, the caulking was cracked and discolored, and there was an accumulation of grime in the corners that made it clear the bathroom hadn't been properly cleaned in years. We were in the room for less than two minutes before deciding we could not stay there. We immediately returned to the front desk to ask for a refund, completely disgusted by the conditions. That's when things took an even worse turn. We were told a manager named Juan would assist us. Unfortunately, Juan was completely unhelpful and unprofessional. He brought us to see an "upgraded" room with an ocean view, which was just as bad--scratched-up mini fridge, dirty nightstand with old drink residue, and no real improvement in cleanliness or quality. When we told him we still weren't comfortable and offered to pay for one night if they released the rest of the reservation, Juan became difficult and dismissive. He refused to let us speak to a manager named Griselda, despite multiple requests. He insisted he was the only one in charge and claimed the reservation couldn't be refunded because of Expedia's policies--even though Expedia told us it was refundable. We were only able to resolve the issue after offering Juan $100 in cash--at which point he finally agreed to release the reservation and process the refund. Ironically, we witnessed him smoking cigarettes while on duty, which tells you everything you need to know about the level of professionalism at this property. We left and walked one minute down the street to Royal Sonesta, which was a true 5-star experience and exactly the kind of place that matched our expectations for a special celebration. TRYP by Wyndham San Juan is a complete misrepresentation of what is advertised online. It is dirty, outdated, and poorly managed. Juan, in particular, has no business working in hospitality--his behavior was sketchy at best, and I will be disputing the charge with my bank, as I have video proof of him confirming the refund. Avoid this place at all costs. Spend your money somewhere you'll be treated with respect and provided with a clean, safe place to stay.

    Not many people write about three star hotels. First of all, they aren't exciting, not at all as a…read morematter of fact. Secondly, they are generally not bad enough to write an intriguing story about finding a dead rodent in the bed. Thus, they fall into the general category of: it's there, there is nothing to say about it. As the first time visiting this particular brand segment of Wyndham, it was a rather pleasant surprise. While the roof above the car pull-up area may have been leaking, there was a gentleman opening the door. The lobby interior is solid, in some elements beautiful for its star level. Front desk was to the point, without too much friendliness or rudeness. The room was decently sized and while no upgrade was provided despite status, it had extremely comfortable feather pillows. All elements of the room were clean and WiFi worked flawlessly. The room is quite nice design wise for a property of this caliber also. As a whole, this Tryp by Wyndham property is best compared to an Aloft or a Hyatt Place. It gives a good night's rest and is a solid representation of what a 3 star hotel should be.

The front desk remains unattended several times a day for the staff to run personal errands, And while they are there they are clueless and all makes up different things. For example: I arrived early and my room wasn't ready. They put my luggage in storage, and wrote my phone number down. " We'll call you once your room is ready" Approximately 1 hour after checkin, I approached the front desk. "Oh your room is ready." I stated I never got the phone call. Her response "Oh we forgot." Sent me on my way to room 905. About half hour later another couple with my group arrived. They were greeted with drinks and the red carpet was rolled out. The pool staff is obnoxious and rude. We was at the pool level patio, where we ordered food and drinks. After some food and 2 rounds of terrible drinks, he brought us all receipts and said 20% gratituities were added to each of the couples bill. (3 Different couples). Ok, we all laughed and said we was going to tip more than that anyway. His loss!Room was 905 was beautiful just like in the pictures, and a beachview. No complaints there. Wasn't in the room much. We actually booked 2 extra days. I was then notified that I must checkout at 12;00 and checkin at 4;00 pm.I actually requested to keep the same room as we had unpacked.. Again someone else said the same thing. I must checkout. Then I happen to see the midnight supervisor. told him the situation and said it could be done. He would have done it, but he said it has to be after 3am when the days in the system roll over. Of course I went to bed. I went back to the front desk that morning. After waiting 30 minutes for someone to attend, a young lady came. Told her everything, including what the manager said and flatly boldly said "He's wrong, You have to check out." I proceed to check out before noon. As it was getting close to noon, I started receiving text messages about a late checkout for an additional $150. My phone number is working now.I checked out and put my luggage in storage, and was reassured again that I would receive a call as soon as a room was available. About 2 hours after checkin started I returned to the front desk, was given new key bracelets. I stated again, I thought you was going to call me. Her response was a laugh and she stated "Oh I forgot." Now I'm in room 608, which was visibly much smaller. The closet was missing a glass door, And the bed was terrible compared to room 905. The sheet were even stained. Put the do not disturb sign on the door. Lo and behold. Heard a knock. Before I could answer, housekeeping was keying into my room. I asked what was she doing and posted at the sign, She stated "Oh sorry, I didn't see it" I think she was coming to look for something to steal. Also construction is going on. Every early morning guest are awakened by what should and feels like they are jack hammering through the building. There is a terrible smell, like a dead rodent or human down the walkway to. the street. And yes the hotel knows about it. All the employees cover their faces and noses when exiting the building. This is not luxury!

It's not huge, but there are day beds and lounge chairs. We booked a day bed and it was very comfortable. The pool overlooks the beach, which is lovely. The music was fun. We had a nice breeze from the ocean. The pool was warm, which I did not love. It felt like a bathtub and I would've preferred a bit cooler, so you can actually cool off in the heat. The pool deck had ant swarms on it, which is why I'm giving three stars. I had just spent days on a pool deck nearby and had seen exactly zero bugs, so this tells me they are not treating the hotel. Due to that, I would never, ever stay here, even though it looks nice, nor would I return to the pool. Even my boyfriend, who is not usually bothered my anything, was unhappy about the ants. Pool deck bathrooms were clean. We still ate, because we had to, since we were there all day. The food was delicious. We got the beef empanadas, beef pinchos with fries, and sweet chili wings. They don't have a cocktail list, so they just make whatever you want, though we did not get anything. This could have been a great experience but my concerns about the cleanliness outweigh what could have been.

Ground floor is lively, with a 4-way intersection in the middle of a manmade grotto and a handful of shops and stops along the outskirts. There's a lovely pool area in the back, and the casino is not too crazy when it's open. The room we stayed in was a little worn, weirdly humid and slightly damp smelling. The linens were clean and the amenities worked, but the room definitely showed its age. View from the window was of a lot of buildings, so not much to look at. Front end staff were friendly. Public spaces were clean, and the gym was small but good enough for a hotel gym area. Breakfast is a quarter of the ground floor. Plenty of seating, lots of options. Food was okay, a step above other hotels but still a low bar to clear. All the breakfast basics with omelette options. It's a perfectly fine stop if you're planning on going someplace else the next day. If you had to spend a lot of time here, I'm sure the issues would mount exponentially. Given its location to the cruise ports and airport, it's good enough. For travelers, Make sure to check which pier to go to if you're cruising. This hotel doesn't offer shuttle service and there's two ports on that side. If you get off at the wrong one, it will be a 1.5 mile trek to the other.

We specifically chose this property because it was one of the few with a true pool bar, which was a big plus for us. My kids had an amazing time between the pool and the small playground nearby, they were fully entertained. That said, like most resorts, the pool area fills up quickly and lounge chairs are usually claimed by around 8am. If you're not an early riser, it's tough to snag one unless you rent a cabana. It wasn't a big issue for us since we spent most of our time in the water anyway. There's also easy access to the beach, which was a nice bonus. I took advantage of the 24-hour gym daily nothing over the top, but definitely enough equipment for a solid vacation workout. I went early, so it was always pretty empty, though it started to pick up around 7-8am. The food was consistently great. We had lunch at the Aqua Bar every day and never had a bad meal. Drinks were also good, though some were stronger than others. I'd recommend skipping the frozen drinks if you're looking for a real buzz they were pretty light on the alcohol. Overall, a great stay, and I'd definitely come back with the kids again.
