    Our Fantastic Stay at the Fairmount ESJH !!

    Sorry it took long to write this.. My wife Maria and I were just at the Fairmount this past April and the stay was magnificent in ever way. I begin with Jimmy and Robert at the front door.. very helpful, very friendly and with lots of tips as to were to go for lunch and dinner (other than the Hotel restaurants) and other helpful hints. The front desk was also very friendly, helpful, very accommodating, and all around very professional. Room service was spot on.. (we usually let them know that our room was ready to be serviced, and they were there in no time !! No delays, ... they left us plenty of towels, a very clean room and bathroom everyday !! The Concierge Desk was outstanding in their guidance and suggestions. Special thanks to others... At the main floor bars ... Bartenders Yosuei (sorry for the misspelling) and Luis were amazing !! Yosuei made making my Vodka Martinis (a somewhat simple drink to make) into a work of art... not just in how he created them with his very fancy pouring technics but well balanced in their taste! Luis was also fantastic in his own way and both added very good tips in touring and dinner suggestions. Take their suggestions.. you wont regret it ! Lastly, thank you to Laura Perez at the Main Pool.. she was a mind reader !! My wife and I were always attended in a speedy manner, accuracy in what we were drinking and just a very polite, friendly person to talk to everyday! Overall, a great place to stay.. impeccable service... outstanding staff, great night life within the hotel itself, beautiful grounds and pools, and at least for us, so easy and quick to get to from New York. We are certainly going back soon and hope that all those great people we met are still there to welcome us again. Thank you. :-)

    Outstanding accommodations and service!

    We had such an enjoyable stay! The rooms are spacious and clean. The staff are top notch! Attentive, friendly and helpful. We have to give a special shout out to John with Guest Services who helped us arrange excursions, transportation and provided many helpful tips! Additionally Katherine with the pool service team was outstanding, she really went out of her way to make our experience extra special!

    BEWARE of 3rd Floor on Thurs, Fri, Sat - VERY LOUD UNTIL 4AM!

    AVOID THE THIRD FLOOR on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. The added patio is NOT worth dealing with the noise coming from the Brava Club on those nights. It lasts until 4am and shook my family's room (we were in Room 325 until we insisted on a move the next day). The hotel did finally agree to change our room, but it took a LOT of (loud) complaining and finally insisting to get it done. The Manager, Carl, did finally take care of us, but it was much more difficult than it should have been (they must get this same complaint every Friday). THE HOTEL SHOULD NOT EVEN SELL THOSE ROOMS ON THOSE NIGHTS UNLESS THE LEVEL OF NOISE IS CLEARLY DISCLOSED AND THE ROOM HEAVILY DISCOUNTED AS A RESULT. Ask to be placed on any other floor. Better yet, if you are on a beach vacation, try to find a deal at the St Regis (check Costco, USAA, etc.) in Rio Grande and just drive into San Juan as needed...our stay there after the Fairmont was heavenly. The Fairmont is a 4 star hotel (at the most), so don't expect a 5 star room or 5 star service. The beautiful lobby was very cool, though, which is the only thing keeping me from leaving a 2-3 star review. The beach and pool were OK.

    Construction on several floors, stay somewhere else

    Stay somewhere else. There is construction going on several floors that’s start at 8:30am. Saws, hammering you name it. We have construction on 5th floor and could also hear banging & saws from rooms above. Our rooms should not be sold given the construction. This is supposed to be a nice relaxing vacation. We came here to celebrate my husband 50th birthday and unfortunately it has been a bad experience. My husband talked to management and there’s “nothing they can do”. Cannot move rooms bc they are full …can’t sleep bc of noise. We’ve stayed here 2x in the past year and always tell our friends how wonderful it is. Disappointing for sure. I can no longer recommend El San Juan.
