The hotel was decent. Receptionist was friendly and accommodating. The access to the beach was great. The room was ok. There were a few things that could be improved: the safety lock box needs to be updated; the bathroom vent didn’t work; 2 elevators were down; the pool was out of order.

The property had many amenities that were accommodating such as the book room, the arcade and game room and the regions where you can lounge and relax indoors and outside of the facility. The beach was the perfect addition to the landscape of the hotel, since it accommodated me with a tranquil atmosphere, refreshing and organic coconut water from the native people, and lovely and friendly staff that were welcoming and supportive. ESJ was in the center of all the surrounding attractions that enabled me to view cultural crafts, resources for my vacation, and delicious cuisine that I was able to enjoy from the heritage itself.

The room was good. It did not have a view, and the pool was not in service. We didn't find out until check-in that the pool had not worked for 5 years, what a bummer. Especially since it was my husband's 60th birthday getaway. I even asked to get upgraded or a complimentary bottle or something but was ignored. I would love a refund. We could not find other availability as everywhere was sold out. I'm hoping Expedia can do something. Expedia has been my go-to for vacation packages since 2017.

You get what you pay for, not much to expect from a 3 star hotel. The room we got had a nice view which was the only plus; the room itself was okay. They claimed they just renovated the room but I highly doubt it. The carpet looked like it hasn’t been cleaned in years and the beds were so sunken in you can tell those haven’t been flipped over or replaced in years as well. You don’t get maid service or fresh towels unless you go down to the front desk to request it; which we had to do every single day of our stay. We thought that was weird since staying at other hotels, maid service is automatic. Half of the staff at the front desk were super friendly and nice and the other half of the staff looked like they don’t want to be bothered and look super annoyed when you go to request something for your room. The only great thing about staying here was the location of it because it was close to everything we wanted to do during our time in Puerto Rico.

The hotel is rundown a lot of remodeling needs to be done. We were not aware that they were remodeling the swimming pool so we had no access to it. We found two small roaches in our room and one in the sink. For the price that I paid it was not worth it at all.
