Top Río Piedras Hotel Reviews

La Concha Resort, Puerto Rico, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was excellent."

Hyatt Vacation Club at Hacienda del Mar, Dorado

10/10 Excellent

"I loved my stay, rooms where clean and where nice & cozy. The staff was nice and very informative about everything. Loved the Mahi Mahi bar and grill, food and drinks were suprisingly great. The only thing I can complain about was there where 6 stray dogs roaming the property my whole stay and my family aren't dog lovers, also i wish there where more food options on the resort. The property was surprisingly quiet for a resort which I loved. We loved that there were washer and dryer in the room. But we will will be back again soon because my family had a great time. Thank you guys so much for a great stay."

The Royal Sonesta San Juan

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms were beautiful, the restaurants excellent, and the resort amenities were top-notch. The gym and spa were outstanding, and the location couldn't be better. Best of all, every employee was incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Special kudos to Ruby DeJesus, my room attendant, who did an amazing job and kept everything spotless throughout my stay. Highly recommend!"

Condado Vanderbilt Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Room was cleaned the first three days and fully stocked on complimentary chocolate bars & chips however the other two days they did not come in the do much and we had to ask front desk for replenishment and extra because we were a family of 3. The views are amazing, staff was super helpful & friendly when we asked for anything. Property was very clean & accessible. Private beach was nice but fairly new. The public beach was a few steps away off the property. You will not be disappointed staying at the resort."

Armas Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hotel Armas in Old San Juan Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 was conveniently located. We were able to park our vehicle in a nearby parking garage and did not have to take the car out again until checkout from the hotel. Shopping and restaurants were all in walking distance from the hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was very small but it was clean upon arrival. We would stay again at Hotel Armas."
