Because we haven't been there before and had a great experience in 2017 and again in 2020. Sad to say that the place is being run down. The hotel itself is run down. The carpets are very dirty, old and mismatched where they have attempted to cover up damaged carpeting but not with the same pattern. The floors are falling apart under you as you walk especially outside in the pool area. The gazebo where the food and bar were previously locate is now in shambles and an eye sore. Electricity and water are turned off daily from 10-3 pm. They comped us $25 per day to go to one of their resturants, New York Steak. The restaurant was closed the entire time - on the property so the $25 comp was worthless. They told us to leave the premises during the utilities shutdowns. When checking out we were charged $15 for leaving the premises. we explained to the front desk manager that we have been charged $15 a day to go out of the facility in during the facility shutdowns, and asked that rather than having $25 each day for the comped closed restaurant to apply the $15 parking fee and take off those charges from our bill. She said the only person who can do that is the hotel administrator, but didnt know when he was coming into the office. I did write "disputed" on my final bill, but I am not hopeful that the "administrator" will contact me. I do not recommend this place it is sad to see it so run down, like that but save your money.

The room was ok, but the front desk person need more customer service tone, was looking angry and mad all the time. Also, they need more pool chairs, they didn’t had enough for the people staying and if you wanted one more you had to pay which didn’t make sense. And the pool was extremely cold all day even with a hot sun, you couldn’t stay there for long, when that was the original intention of a relaxing vacation.

From my perspective the problem with this hotel is in the larger management. The staff are working to do their best to provide for guests. The property is in disrepair--carpet doesn't cover the floor, broken doors, light fixtures, and a struggling HVAC system that leaves rooms wet. We paid $16/day for parking and had difficulty getting in and out of the parking lot. It is combined with another hotel, so that provides some dining options and probably contributes to the better condition of the shared pool and the outside portions of the property. Puerto Rico is beautiful! So as long as you are not visiting to stay in your hotel, you might be fine staying here depending on the room. We appreciated the staff of the hotel for their efforts to do all they could to make the stay pleasant!

Rooms were clean. A bit outdated, but clean. Easy & convenient check in. The beach was okay. I think if they spent an hour a day to remove the washed up seaweed, it would be a huge improvement. This was our first time in Puerto Rico. We were originally going to rent a vehicle (because of the holiday, the vehicles were very expensive), we are very happy we didn’t rent a vehicle. Uber is super convenient, and inexpensive. We will definitely be back. Everyone in PR was friendly and welcoming.

Room was dated with paper thin walls and uncomfortable mattresses. The people in the room next to us came back late (after 11) and were up early (7am) every morning and it sounded like they were in the room with us, even though they were just speaking in normal voices. Tub drain didn't work so we showered in standing water. Staff were pleasant and the complimentary water bottles were nice. All the rest of the amenities (pool, restaurants, etc.) were through the Embassy Suites, and the only reason why this rating isn't lower.
