Top hotels in Cangrejo Arriba
Embassy Suites by Hilton San Juan Hotel & Casino
I was charged a bogus smoking fee that was eventually removed only after escalating the matter up to the CEO. I spent a considerable amount of my vacation disputing this scam of a fee. I also had two incidents of staff going out of their way to be intentionally rude.

Fairmont El San Juan Hotel
The hotel is darky, dingy and smells horrible. Needs to completely be redone. The staff is aware and has stopped caring. It’s awful and definitely not worth the price tag.

The Royal Sonesta San Juan
Ocean front room was lovely and well appointed. Staff was helpful - especially the breakfast crew on the day of our departure. Our waiter was super. helpful and energetic! We found the ourdoor bar (oceanside) WAY too hot to sit at the bar with the pizza oven right near the seating!

Bali Hotel Adults Only Isla Verde, a Trademark by Wyndham
Room clean, and staff courteous. The hotel was too close to the street noise, however. It was an ok experience, though.
