This hotel is a legend in Puerto Rico and I noticed that a lot of Puerto Rico�s rich and famous turn out to be seen. For me, it has to be the spectacular lobby bar area. Wait until you see the transformation at night time. Property has just gone through a $65 million refurbishment so it looks great!
What I wish I
could change:
At times during the weekend, the hotel appears to have a lot of locals that come in to gather. I like it, but, others might not.
Why YOU should
go:
If you want to see a slice of an old traditional San Juan legend that has been tastefully and luxuriously renovated, this is the place to go. Perfect for business and leisure. Check out the new Encanto Beach club. Very chic.
Formerly a Wyndham property, the El San Juan Hotel & Casino, The Waldorf Astoria Collection is located in the fashionable Isla Verde neighborhood, where a nightlife scene draws crowds to this resort. No passport required!
