The property was more like a 3.5 star than a 4 star hotel. The main building hallways and room were a little run down. Pros: the location was great, with easy access to the airport. Most excursions were a half hour to 45 min away including the rain forest, Old San Juan, etc. the beach was lovely and I appreciated the chairs on the beach reserved for hotel guests. If you want a fun, vibrant, and loud nightlife, the El San Juan Fairmont is the place to be. Every night the lobby was full of people and it felt like one big party. Cons: On the second night around 10 pm, loud music began blasting and vibrating our room. We were on the 3rd floor right above the lobby. We have children so it we requested a room change. I wished we were warned ahead of time rant the Club Cana was right below us and it would be loud music until 4 am. They did move us to the 6th floor right away but it was still a pain to move when we were already trying to go to bed. The shower door would not close all the way and it leaked puddles of water all over the floor and even out the bathroom door. We did not ask to move this time because we had just moved so we dealt with it. Another night the door latch locked us in from the outside when we got home from dinner and another day, the batteries in the safe died so my belongings were stuck. It was an inconvenience and put a damper on my vacation, but security and staff were responsive and alleviated issues right away. For that, I appreciated this hotel.

3.5 hotel for a 5 star price. As others have stated below, this hotel is quite dated. Small rooms. AC set at 68, didn’t get close to that during the entire stay. 1 of the elevators was out. Asked the fake maître d' at the 3.9 (current Google) rated steak hosue if I could get some food at the bar and he said it was “not for guests of the hotel.” OK. Circular bar in the lobby near the sushi bar had more workers than guests and it took 10 minutes for them to even ask what you wanted. Hard pass- Never again..
