Had breakfast here two days in a row. The buffet is impressive and some things changed to add variety. The fruit selection included at least 6 options cut up and there was a whole section of whole whole fruit. Here were two toasters so you never waited. Lots of carb options! egg station was efficient. One day I got poached and one day an omelette. Both were delicious. He even asked how hard I wanted the poached egg! Love the little potted plant on the table! Hostess was incredibly sweet. Efrain was the perfect waiter. read more

Went here for the breakfast buffet. You have two options - the Hilton buffet which is $25, which includes omelettes, and the continental, which is $15 and doesn't include omelettes. They both include cereals, yogurts, coffees, juices, pancakes, bacon, sausages, fruit, all that good breakfast food. I got a plate of fruit, pancakes, greek yogurt, nuts, an omelette with peppers, tomatoes, cheese, jalapenos, and onions, which was delicious and filled me up. Definitely seemed like it was worth the buffet deal. I also enjoyed Palmeras because you have a perfect view of the beach/pool area, and it's just gorgeous... seriously I fell in love with this view while staying at the Hilton. Waiters were also attentive, though they pushed me kind of hard to order the buffet instead of order a single item... read more

We were greeted by a less than friendly hostess Marisol but this was forgotten with the greeting of the wonderful man who was very attentive and quick to bring coffee and waters. The restaurant was very clean and the omelets are made to order with a variety of ingredients to choose from. The selection was wonderful and the food was very tasty. I highly recommend having some pancakes no matter what you get. Coffee was less that great but not terrible! Definitely visiting there again. read more

Good breakfast buffet! Came here on a Sunday around 11:30am and it was a 30 minute wait for a table. The restaurant seemed only 70% full so I'm not really sure why the wait was so long. But once we were seated the waitstaff was great! Our waiter (Walter) was very attentive and friendly. The buffet had good food but a limited selection for $25 per person (in my opinion). There were 5 hot food items and an omelet & Belgium waffle station. Cold food included fruit, breads, and cereal. I heard from other patrons that the only other restaurant that serves breakfast at this hotel was not so great (the Italian one next door). I would definitely recommend this place for breakfast to other Caribe Hilton guests for the convenience, service, and food. read more

Good breakfast buffet, lots of pastry and fruit options, also have make to order omelets as well as hot food section that includes eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, and potatoes. There's also fresh made Belgium waffles and different coffee options. Cost is typically in the $25 to $30 range, which is a lot for a hotel breakfast, but with HHonors it's $10. read more

Very expensive breakfast buffet around 25 dollars. If you are hilton gold or diamond you can trade your vouchers in and 10 dollars. Omelettes are good. Most of fruit had seen better days. Juices, milk, coffee tea and pastries included. Worth 10 but not 25 dollars. Pancakes, bacon and sausage too. You can sit inside or outside. Continental breakfast in Italian place is lame. read more

Came here for breakfast while staying at Hilton caribe. Breakfast buffet was $27 per person so we just did a la cart. As long as u order an entree any kids under 5 gets to enjoy the buffet for free. The entrees were all pretty good overall, nicely plated and were decent. The hostess took forever to seat us which is a norm at Hilton caribe, slow! read more

The hostess, Marisol, was consistently pleasant and even had great recommendations for things to do on the island. The best value is to order off the menu, in my opinion. We never ate enough off the buffet to justify $25 per person. Service was touch and go. Most days servers seemed troubled to have to pay any attention to customers. We had one or two really good servers during our week stay. The rest of our waiters/waitresses acted put out, especially when we chose the menu over the buffet. I loved the convenience of this place since it is inside the Caribe Hilton but it's significantly overpriced, especially for those who eat healthy portion sizes, even on vacation. For the money, I also expect better service. read more

Very pricey, but the buffet is a solid 4 star - great variety, plentiful and they keep clean and well stocked. Our server Yolanda was wonderful. But a very nasty "malcriada" hostess and an understaffed establishment, unprepared for the crowd, detracts from the $28 pp buffet + tax. Some people should not be in hospitality business. Otherwise, I wouldve ranked it higher. Its a Hilton, no place for street fighters (jaquetones as we call them here...). read more

Best omelette on the island! Mucho variety, great service. Every morning its a great choice but its very expensive. read more

Palmeras - View outside the restaurant - American Near Me - San Juan, Puerto Rico

Brunch was $30 and that included fresh squeezed orange juice and coffee, there are fresh made to order omelletes, good pastries, assortment of fruits, cereal (hot and cold), and toast. The service was sparse. There is dining outside option, which is nice. The inside area is bright so bring your sunglasses depending on where you sit. I had the omellete, pastries, and some of the bacon and sausage. They were decent, just your average. The high points of this place are the view and the large assortment of things to choose from, however, you could likely find more exciting food for cheaper. This place didn't have a lot of character and was just convenient. read more

Palmeras - View from the outside seating. - American Near Me - San Juan, Puerto Rico

This restaurant is inside the Caribe Hilton complex. There was a short wait to get seated at 9:30am. The breakfast buffet was $25 and included a large selection consisting of pastries, fruits, waffles, pancakes and eggs made to order. The $25 buffet isnt expensive, but adds up quickly. As with all buffets, it is good value if you want a high volume breakfast. We also ordered from the menu. The $14 frittata (italian omelette) plate was freshly made, well-prepared and reasonable portioned if you didnt want to gorge at the buffet. Our servers was older, experienced and provided to-go cups for coffee. Overall this was a treat compared to Il Giardino next door. But my nod goes to Tropical Restaurant across the street. See my other reviews. read more

Very good breakfast.. a variety of meats and choices Breads and pastries are not that great in my opinion but they are gluten free and I do not like gluten free. They also have an issue with gnats around the fruit, however it didn't seem to bother anyone but me. Also the price is a little expensive but it is good. The omelette station was my favorite. read more

Best breakfast for the money so far. Great selection, friendly staff and gluten free bread on the buffet! My omelet was delicious.

Very good breakfast buffet conveniently located in the hotel. More of a selection than the other buffet at the italian restaurant.

LOVE LOVE the lemonade. Just something about it was different. I think it's really lime-ade but I had to order it everyday we stayed in the Hilton. Yeah, it's the small things that make me happy. Also, liked the Oasis hamburger. The menu states that it has bacon, but we had to remind our waitress twice to included it. But, highly recommend it because it's meaty and the bun is soft. read more

I don't know what the naysayers are fussing about. I've never seen a more elaborate breakfast buffet. And this food is great tasting. Yogurt, several cold cereals, many pastries, several breads and bagels, a variety of juices, an egg/omelet station, a multitude of fresh fruit, a cold meat and cheese bar, and a hot bar including eggs, meat, and some very good potatoes. The three fresh salsas go well with all of it. The coffee is delicious and endless and is posted on your table in a stainless carafe the moment you order it. If you drink a couple of cups, the pot magically gets replaced by a full one with hotter, fresher coffee. Eat until your heart is content and your bikini bottoms cry out. Is it pricey? Yes. Is it worth it? Totally. You're probably staying in the resort where this restaurant is housed. No need to drop a knot on your vacation and expect to eat at McDonald's. Splurge a little and enjoy it. read more

We had breakfast here everyday of our vacation. Fabulous. Kept us full all day until dinner. Harry was the BEST! We began discussing a certain fruit, pana...my boyfriend lived in Puerto Rico as a child and Harry hooked us up with some tostones made from pana. They were so wonderful. The chef, Douglas, brought the pana from his home and cooked it for us. I loved these guys!!! They made the ripe even more special. read more
