Top San Juan Hotel Reviews

AC Hotel by Marriott San Juan Condado

AC Hotel by Marriott San Juan Condado

10/10 Excellent
"We absolutely loved this hotel. When we first checked in, we had an obstructed view balcony, I called down to the front desk and they moved us immediately. Anything we asked for, the staff was accomodating. The room was very clean, updated and had everything you could need. The pool area is so nice. I wish people would remove their towels when they were done with the chairs, so others could use them but that is everywhere you go. The food and drinks were pricey, but very good. The location is amazing and the beach service is on point. You just walk down and the hotel has a worker there to set up your chairs and umbrella. The location is also very convenient to bakeries and amazing restaurants. You can't go wrong here. We will definitely be back."
