The hotel and rooms are beautiful, nicely decorated; the area around hotel is walkable with a few coffee spots and dining options; we were also able to walk to the beach and Uber at night to Old San Juan, which is under 10 minutes away. The hotel staff was very accommodating and able to check us in earlier, since we had a flight cancellation.
