Top Cangrejo Arriba Hotel Reviews

Residence Inn by Marriott San Juan Isla Verde

10/10 Excellent

"Very good"

The Royal Sonesta San Juan

10/10 Excellent

"The property was very beautiful when we arrived. The staff always greeted us and opened the doors. Our room was very nice. I just wish we had an ocean view. The only thing I didn’t like was being ignored at the bar at the pool/beach. I asked several times to try and order food and drinks. Finally I had to get up and move and flag down a waitress. The lunch I ordered was good. Overall I enjoyed the hotel and when I checked out the staff was awesome. I would recommend this hotel."

Aura House Isla Verde

8/10 Good

"Just as described, felt like I was living as a local. Having 2 bedrooms was very nice. However, we stayed in apartment A and the AC in the bedroom I was in was not working. It did get a little warm but i just didn't use any blankets. I loved the stove. It worked very well and it was great for making our breakfast in the morning. The refrigerator was great to have for our food and drinks, and the microwave was useful. No toaster but the nonstick pan was good to warm up the bread and it did get a little toasted too. All I was missing was a blender which would have been perfect but maybe next time they will have one. We were concerned about the water shortage but we did have water on the premises and had no trouble with showering. The beach was about a 5 minute walk away which was great for cooling off from the heat and they do leave towels for the beach. There are waves and depending on high tide or weather disruptions they can be rough. There are restaurants within walking distance of the property and all along the calle isla verde street, but you need to drive down for more variety. It's a 15 to 20 minute drive to the airport which is convenient and the route 26 expressway is just around the corner. The TV in the living room area was not always working though which was inconvenient and it appears that it's streaming service only like Netflix. They do provide a passcode but it was hard to find programming to watch. Not fancy but safe& clean. I would stay here again. Thanks"
