Ocruise Posted April 25, 2004 #1 Share Posted April 25, 2004 Hi all. I have a friend who is going to cruise AOS & they want a very nice/classy hotel recommendation for a 1 night pre-cruise stay, money is not a big issue, so hotel can be expensive. Any recommendations? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjerryw Posted April 25, 2004 #2 Share Posted April 25, 2004 The Caribe Hilton is probably the nicest hotel.

Alexis Posted April 25, 2004 #3 Share Posted April 25, 2004 Hi, We stay at the Wyndham Old San Juan. It is a very nice hotel, with a pool and casino, but it is across the water from the Adventures pier. (Pan American Pier, which is not where most of the ships dock) We love to stay there because it is right in Old San Juan. It would be about a $10.00 cab ride from the hotel to the ship. This hotel is located near lots of shopping, restaurants and many things to do and see in Old San Juan. Get a suite in the front of the hotel and you overlook the piers and the ships. Below is a website you might find helpful.

judimarg Posted April 25, 2004 #4 Share Posted April 25, 2004 Without a doubt, if money were no object I would stay at the Wyndham El San Juan Hotel and Casino in the Isla Verde section. This is a truly gorgeous property.

dobie Posted April 25, 2004 #5 Share Posted April 25, 2004 We really liked the Intercontinental. We got it for $123 on Hotwire. Beautiful pool, gorgeous beach, within walking distance of many restaurants. There's also a casino, huge jacuzzi. The pictures on their website are very representative.

Detective20 Posted April 25, 2004 #6 Share Posted April 25, 2004 We stayed at the Wyndham Old San Juan last April and it was very nice. As already mentioned, it is right downtown if you're going to be doing any touring pre-cruise. I would definitely stay again OR there is this little place downtown that is really old (but nicely refurbished. It's small and has a lovely inner courtyard but I can't think of the name. If you can catch Parrothead on the board, she'll know the name. I'll let you know if I think of it. Have fun!! Mrs. Detective20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurBunny Posted April 25, 2004 #7 Share Posted April 25, 2004 If price were truly no object, then either the Ritz Carlton or the Wyndham El San Juan (not to be confused with the Old San Juan - different properties). For a price mostly no concern, the Hilton Caribe. <font face="Imprint MT Shadow" size="5" color="#FFCC00">[i]Amber[/i]</font> <font size="4" face="Berlin Sans FB">Cruise Resource BiddingFun and BiddingHELP</font> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kluv2cruz Posted April 25, 2004 #8 Share Posted April 25, 2004 I've stayed 2x at the Wyndham El San Juan - beautiful, lovely pools (yes, more than one), right on the beautiful beach, gorgeous lobby. Worth the stay. I highly recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixCruiser Posted April 26, 2004 #9 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Although I haven't had time to look at this website [url="http://www.puertoricoisfun.com/index2.php?SEOP=puerto_rico_hotels&referrer="]PuertoRicoisfun[/url] was recommended in the Travel section of today's newspaper, hope it helps [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img] [img]http://escati.linkopp.net/cgi-bin/countdown.cgi?trgb=000000&srgb=00ff00&prgb=191970&cdt=2004;6;26;17;1;00&timezone=GMT-0500[/img] Navigator of the Seas 6/26/04 <center> <a href="http://www.escati.com/counter98/free_time_codes.htm"> [img]http://escati.linkopp.net/logos/time98.gif[/img]</center> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireguy091 Posted April 26, 2004 #10 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Wyndham El San Juan without a doubt. The most opulent hotel on the island.

travellgirl Posted April 26, 2004 #11 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Definitely the El San Jaun. We stayed there for three nights pre cruise. The lobby alone is worth the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donnaluv2cruise Posted April 26, 2004 #12 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Ritz Carlton. Stayed there 4 nights last year for a wedding. The best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMG Posted April 26, 2004 #13 Share Posted April 26, 2004 The El Conquistador Resort and Golden Door Spa. Definitely a luxury resort located in Fajardo, Puerto Rico. 31 miles from the airport. $30 shuttle airport to hotel. Currently part of the Wyndham hotel chain. This is without a doubt top of the line! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare xpcdoojk Posted April 26, 2004 #14 Share Posted April 26, 2004 The El Conquistador is wonderful, but for only 1 night, I would not go all the way to Fajardo. I haven't stayed at the El San Juan or the Ritz, but both look wonderful. Certainly nicer than the Caribe Hilton. jc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
