Nice place
We booked a last minute vacation and stayed for 4 nights. Overall the rooms were nice (we upgraded to a ocean view)
The beach was a bit dirty but we barely went on the beach so didnt care much. The pool area is very nice so can't complain at all about that. The casino on the other hand was very dark, smelled bad and looked more like an underground opertation so I walked in and walked right out.....
I'm not sure if I'll stay there again since the El San Juan is right next door so I'll probably want to check out that place on my next trip.
In all honesty the drinks and food came out to over $600.00 so I'll probably stay at an all inclusive hotel next go around....
over all pleased... looking forward to renovations
Over all we liked the resort. It was Down pouring the first day when we arrived. However the rest of the time was beautiful. Food was good, Pool and beach were great. My children ages 9 & 5 Loved it. Very family friendly and close to everything... lots to do. We will return, however we are looking forward to the renovations that are coming in June2012. The bathrooms were not that comfortable, very small space and the doors opened the wrong way.
This was an awesome hotel, the staff were great, the hotel beautiful, they were very accommedating. I would highly recommend, for an affordable vacation that you go to San Juan,Puerto Rico. The rainforest was nice however, Old San Juan was a MUST! I saw No Signs of any BUGS and i looked! this hotel is 5 star (in my opinion) Stay Here! Cheap Carribean has no hidden fees when you check out .What we paid is what we PAID! (***** to them too.)
We had a wonderful vacation at this beautiful resort. Excellent service and extremely friendly & accommodating staff. We arrived at 9 am and had requested an early check-in. Our room was ready but located next to the elevator. I asked for a quieter room and the front desk clerk immediately requested housekeeping clean an end room on the fifth floor that someone had just checked out of. By 11 am we were settled in our lovely room. It was spacious, very clean and beautifully furnished. The lobby,pool and beach were all gorgeous. The staff could not do enough for us and went out of their way to satisfy all of our needs. My daughter and I had massages at the spa that were fabulous. We requested two female masseuses and the manager rearranged schedules to accommodate us. The concierge was one of the best I have dealt with. He recommended four amazing restaurants for dinner. He showed us menus ahead of time to make sure our teenage daughter would be happy with the choices. He even stopped by a new restaurant on his way home from work to pick up a menu that was not yet available online. I would definitely return to this hotel!

As a USA permanent resident,do I need a visa to go to Puerto Rico?10 answers
1 year, 15 months ago
Zemman
If you are not a US citizen, you should double check with the airline you're traveling with to determine what documentation you'll need to enter and exit Puerto Rico, as this can vary depending on your citizenship.
KateCC
No you don't, it's not an actual state but is considered U.S. property.
jewels98
Puerto Rico is considered a USA domestic flight, boarding pass and ID required no visa or passport necessary.
SteveT
No. We were told to bring a passport or official birth certificate, but the airport security only asked for a picture Government issued I.D., like other US destinations.
RonL
no
Cindy52
No, Puerto Rico is part of America
summer2011
No, you don't.
Texasnative
no. it is part of the United States.
coquie
Nope, you won't need a visa to PR because PR is a commonwealth of the US. Do bring your permanent resident card just in case.
zm101806
You do not need a passport or Visa. However, you need two forms of identification and one needs to be a government issued photo ID like a drivers license.

is the InterContinential in Puerto Rico an all inclusive hotel?11 answers
1 year, 14 months ago
Vaness
The Intercontinental in San Juan is not an all-inclusive resort - there actually aren't any all-inclusive resorts in Puerto Rico. There are a number of restaurants and bars on the property but they are not included in your package.
JenCC
no it's not, there are not many all inclusive resorts in San Juan
jewels98
No, some packages through 3rd party agents may include food and beverage resort credits but no all-inclusive available.
SteveT
No, But you may get a deal which includes free breakfast or hotel credit. we got $200 credit per room for 4nights stay (just returned on Saturday and LOVED IT). Someone next to us at check-in had breakfast included with their reservation.
Food is easily found, however. Two outdoor eateries and four inside the hotel alone. Fast food and good local food all within walking distance.
There were live singers/music combos on the Friday night, but not the mid-week nights we were there.
We had two 19-year-olds with us. The staff is very friendly, and they had a lot of fun.
There are many hotels again within walking distance, so you can always check out the nightlife there, too.
wannagobacksoon
No, but we did receive vouchers good at several of the restaurtants and room service by booking through Cheap Caribbean.
BookMarkNYC
No it is not all inclusive. Dining and drinks are pricey. Although there are credits available for multi night bookings. These credits range from $100-$200 per room depending on how many nights you are staying.

We went mid October and it was beautiful weather. It's off season so it was a ghost town but we had a blast!
I personally would not go the end of August & September because it's hurricane season and PR does get hit.

what is the fee for guest parking in the hotel.6 answers
7 months ago
joe
Hi Joe,
Currently, the resort charges $20.00 plus tax per day for parking., prices are subject to change.
ccsusan1
We did not have a car so I can't answr that question. Due to the cheapness of the buses, not sure why you would want a car.
PJRL
$25 valet parking, $20 self park
pat1
If you used Valet parking, the fee ran about $80. per day. Self parking may be less but I would think, still fairly expensive.
LarryL
$25. per day. Can park in city parking 2 blocks away by the hour and would add up to the same if you stay the 24 hours straight.
Vero
when we were there end of December it was $25 per day
laxguy21
I overheard the concierge tell a guest it was $29 per night but that could change depending upon time of year

What does "air included" on the package refer to?3 answers
I liv on the west coast, so would I need to pay for a flight from here to the east coast location?
7 months ago
Blondie
You are able to book air from the west coast for an additional cost than the package's advertised price.
MariaCC
When you in the process of the reservation it will have a place where it asks you for the airport you would leaving from, depending on that information it can change the price.
PJRL
Usually, the air included packages assume flights out of Florida. The is an additonal charge for flights from all other locations. For instance, flights from Hartford, CT added $200 to the package. You can book on line but if this is your first CC experience, I would suggest you call them. The agents are extremely helpful.
Enjoy.

According to www.seepuertorico.com, Puerto Rico’s nightlife can be described as vibrant and full of life.
MariaCC
We didn't go clubbing. We are gamblers and The Ritz-Carlton and El San Juan are 24 hrs ...InterContinental stayed open til 4am. When we were out on the Isle Verde Blvd in the wee hours there were others still walking to or from other places. There were young and old even at 3 and 4 in the morning. Many of them were dressed up and seemed to have been partying somewhere. Old San Juan was empty at that hour...........It looked like a ghost town .....we couldn't find a taxi on the street down by cruise ship port and Sheraton casino hotel. We had to go back in the casino and have them call us a taxi after searching for one for over 15 minutes.

The weather is warm in June mid to high eighties. It is the beginning of the rainy season so rain showers are very common. It is early in the hurricane season so hurricanes are not as common during June as they are later in the season.

InterContinental San Juan Resort & Casino: Isla Verde Beach and Sizzling Nightlife
Bored with the same landscape? InterContinental San Juan Resort & Casino is your gateway to adventure thanks to its prime location on Isla Verde Beach. This resort offers a beachfront vacation in the middle of the city! Built in the late 1950s, by Morris Lapidus, the AAA, Four-Diamond resort has been renovated and, at only five minutes from the airport, is a hotspot for a Puerto Rican vacation. The terrific nightlife and impressive sightseeing are a big plus when you choose the InterContinental San Juan Resort.
The stretch of Isla Verde Beach, just outside the resort, is never crowded, so you can relax in peace. Jump in the large, lagoon-style pool to cool off and pick up something from the swim-up bar; sip your pina colada, while admiring the waterfalls of the cove-like pool as you decide which of the four restaurants is your next destination. Thick cuts of premium beef make Ruth's Chris Steak House popular, and the signature fettuccine Alfredo at Alfredo's Restaurant is absolutely delicious. After dinner, feel free to sample the sizzling San Juan clubs and bars nearby, or stay close to home at the I-Bar in the main lobby and enjoy the live music.
When you're done with the pool, it's time to kick up the action at the resort's casino, where guests tempt Lady Luck into paying off big. And speaking of fortunes, a wealth of snorkeling and diving spots offer priceless memories just a short distance away.
Adventuring can be hard work, and the resort's spa has a Caribbean wrap that smoothes out rough skin with natural minerals and vitamins, so you head to bed relaxed. For a room with an outstanding view, we choose the Deluxe Ocean View; it comes with a great balcony for watching the hypnotic Caribbean waves. Want to scout out your next sightseeing opportunity? The higher-level Laguna Rooms overlook the bustling city. There's so much to see in San Juan, you'll want to stay a little longer to explore it all.
