“Will definitely be back!”
The room was kept exceptionally clean. The hotel staff was curteous and extremely helpful. There are plenty of amenities to keep the family busy. The grounds are beautiful.
“97% Perfect”
Room is perfect, service is perfect, food is perfect, experience is wonderful. AGAIN, IT IS A VERY GOOD PLACE! What is not perfect. -Beach surface. IT IS OK. Do not expect it to be the better beach of your life. Water is good and clean. -Concierge - OK. Using my laptop, internet and map program I was able to get better place and directions than she suggested. Also Concierge does not work on Sunday. -Internet. Free at the business center, for daily fee - 10 Mb per second in the room (cable, no wireless). *** And the last tip. This is a VERY good and quality hotel. Decent Resort. But do not plan to stay inside or on the beach more then necessary. You will have to travel around to entertain yourself.
“Can't wait to go back”
It was a beautiful hotel with great ocean property, overly accomodating staff, and plenty of amenities. Everyone that we met there as a guest seemed to love their stay. Nearby downtown Ponce is beautiful. We went with another couple and we all agreed, one of the nicest places we've ever stayed in. My husband's only complaint, you had to wait a long time for a drink in the casino. The service in there was slow.
“Terrific, all around resort hotel”
This is a large sprawling hotel centered around its dining and recreational areas. We stayed four nights over President's Day weekend. The hotel was comfortably full but it didn't feel at all crowded. Public areas are attractive and always clean. Ice, pop, and snack machines are available throughout the hotel. Family friendly. Pool area very clean with lots of seating, some in shade. Pool, ping pong, and playground available. Beach small and unremarkable. Security obvious throughout the hotel area. Nice gift and snack shops. Would have liked more shopping within the hotel. Our room was large, wonderful shower, good maid service. Floors are tile-take slippers.
“Great time”
The room was very clean and the view was awesome.
“GReat Place to stay with kids”
this hotel was very good to me and my kids they where in the pool all the time from morning till late in the night
“Great hotel - less than desireable food”
We were glad to find the Hilton Ponce Golf & Casino Resort (everyone there just calls it the "Ponce Hilton" good to know for the cab drivers) for our recent quick weekend trip to Ponce. The service was amazing, the staff was all more than accomidating especially with our 11 month old baby. As a whole, they were very kid friendly. We had warm milk delivered to our room, a Pack and Play set up and even a babysitter found in under two hours (even though they do suggest 24 hour notice for such a service.) The restaurant was more than accomidating with her. The food, however, was less than desirable (accounting for the 3 I have listed for "quality of service"). It was unimaginative and often felt like it was simply frozen or canned food that was warmed up. It was also quite expensive. The exception was La Cava, the restaurant in the resort. There food was quite good. I focus on the food as the resort is a 10 minute, $20 cab ride to town so the hotel is your only option for food. Otherwise, the pool was wonderful, the casino was fun, the room was clean and comfortable, the playground at the beach was fun, the grounds were well kept and the staff was great.
“Family fun”
My family and I have and excelent time.
“beautiful resort”
great hotel
“We would come back!”
Friendly staff. Excellent food. A very relaxing 5 nights. Staying at the resort, the beautiful golf course is 1/2 the cost of what most island courses charge, and we also enjoyed the pool at the course in addition to the Hilton pool. Been to 5 islands and this is the first resort that my wife said she'd like to return to. Also a great place for families with children.
