Downtown hotel that is close to the history of Old San Juan, yet, also offers a lagoon beach. Recently undergone a huge refurbishment to the hotel and casino. Total tranformation!
What I wish I
could change:
Getting there with traffic can take a while, but hey, you are on vacation.
Why YOU should
go:
Not so much a family hotel, but offers a beach, some great branded restaurants, fantastic room product and a large casino.
Stay at the four-sun Conrad San Juan Condado Plaza and experience the magic of Puerto Rico. From the elegant property itself to the attractions of San Juan and the Condado strip, you'll have the best the island offers. From the hotel's central location overlooking the Atlantic and the Condado Lagoon, you can take in sea breezes and watch the sun slowly set. The resort is centered around its pool complex, which includes both a saltwater and a freshwater swimming pool, plus a small wading pool and spa tub, all located near the hotel's north tower. Another freshwater lap pool and spa tub are located at the south tower near Condado Lagoon.
Try your luck at the hotel's 24-hour casino, the islands largest. Swim at the protected beach, or take some sun on the beachfront followed by a dip in the pool and a drink at the swim-up bar. For the active-minded, there's a lap pool, two lighted tennis courts and a fully equipped fitness center.
The magic Caribbean spell doesn't take long to work. Off-property, you'll feel the transformation too. Be one with the El Yunque Rain Forest, just 45 minutes away. Contemplate the ancient ruins of the nearby El Morro Fortress and listen to the soothing call of the Coqui frog. Wander the cobblestone streets of Old San Juan, soaking up history.
Back at the hotel, choose from 5 restaurants, three bars and cafes, and Cocolobos for live entertainment and dancing.
