Wyndham Grand Rio Mar Rainforest Beach and Golf Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful stay"

Hyatt Regency Grand Reserve Puerto Rico

8/10 Good

"Overall, we had a wonderful stay at the Hyatt. The resort is beautiful, with a stunning private beach, a fantastic pool, and a fun swim-up bar. The grounds were well maintained, and the atmosphere was relaxing. The restaurants served delicious food, and the staff in the dining areas were friendly and attentive. There were a few areas that could be improved. As a pescatarian, I found dining somewhat challenging because pork was included in many dishes, limiting my options. It would be great if the resort offered more clearly labeled vegetarian and pescatarian choices. I was also disappointed with the front desk experience. When I asked for matches or a lighter so I could light my daughter’s birthday cupcake, they weren’t able to assist. While it may seem like a small request, it would have made her celebration more special. Another downside was the coffee. The coffee served at the resort was disappointing, and because the property is fairly isolated, we had to drive about 20 miles to find better options. Despite these minor issues, we truly enjoyed our vacation. The beautiful beach, excellent pool, and overall resort experience made for a memorable trip. With a few improvements to the dining options and guest services, this would have been a perfect trip!"

Hyatt Vacation Club at Hacienda del Mar, Dorado

10/10 Excellent

"Took our honeymoon here and it was perfect. Practally had the place to ourselves in the end of July. Probabally 10 people on the beach and 30 people around the pool. The tropical beach was beautiful. Rough waters. The pool was great and everyone was respectful and friendly. Kids were well behaved and parents were equally cool. Staff were very helpful and friendly. The place was immaculate from the grounds around the pool to our room. Cleaning staff did an excellent job cleaning our room while always greeting us with a friendly smile. Dorado is the nicest town on the island with many stores nearby. A short drive to other parts of the island where everyday people and neighborhoods are neat to experience. Beware of the unpredictable drivers. Scary. But we never felt threatened or unsafe with the locals. I will love to return in the future."

The Royal Sonesta San Juan

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful resort. Amazing beach access with included umbrellas and chairs. Bar drinks were great! I do wish there was a filtered water station indoors but understand the water shortage happening. The breakfast buffet was disappointing. The food was not that great and the omelette station was incredibly slow. My husband did not choose the buffet and loved his eggs Benedict though."

Costa Bahia Hotel Paseo Caribe

8/10 Good

"Hotel was definitely a grand luxurious property back in the day. However it's now a buget stay with all the budget hotel lack of care. Scant with pillows. Flimsy plastic cups for coffee, thin sheet and one thin blanket. Requested additional pillows or a blanket....no luck 😂. However, massive rooms with killer views"
