Fajardo Hotels

Staff

pool was great, room was well appointed, in house restaurants had good food pool wristbands, not enough pillows

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Facilities were extremely clean and we felt secure.

A multi-colored gem in a lush setting of greens and blues...everything was first class...the only drawback was a screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeching jacuzzi by the infinity pool that maintenance said was working fine...oh well...

We traveled in from JFK, Thurs-Thurs... very smooth and easy trip. Rent a car! Taxi prices are blatant extortion. We got a great deal w Enterprise. Hotel is 1 straight road from airport (40 minutes). We booked Las Casitas, ocean-view. The views, property, landscaping and grounds are stunning. Presidents week vacations have always had their challenges due to high occupancy, over booked facilities and stressed employees. Not the case here, it never look crowded, no lines, no chair/towel issues. In fact you would not think they were at all busy. Traveled with 8 and 15 Y/O boys, plenty for them to do and we all felt safe/secure at all times for them to wander on their own. Property Pro's: Views, diversity of property (shopping, private island), pristine grounds, superb, efficient well trained staff on all levels!! F & B: NYC prices. Poor menu design in casual dining/poolside/room service outlets, very limited and mediocre at best. Heavy fried foods and bland salads poolside. No healthy options. BORING! The dining restaurants were costly. The Striphouse and the Italian rest were of very good quality. We passed on the others. The villas have full working kitchens. Stock up at the local megamarket 5 miles away from the hotel. Amenities: rooms are a bit old and dated. Wi-fi never worked properly, TV's are from the 80's, all electronics are obsolete. Its almost laughable, after-all it is 2012, not 1992. Beds/linens are just OK. Does not live up to the brand standards nor 4 Diamond quality. Service: with the exception of the aforementioned restaurant managers/ wine stewards (they had no knowledge of food or beverage, I was confused as to what their purpose was) . Otherwise the staff was great. . . everywhere. Polished, personable and caring. The senior Management also takes a hands on approach to guest satisfaction. Both the hotel's GM and Hskpg. Director were always present, helpful and concerned. They really do a great job, all challenges considered. Summary: Great v...

I could have stayed at this resort for a month and not gotten sick of it. Awesome staff and location. Private beach is great for snorkeling and relaxing. I went with my fiance, but most of the guests seemed to be families with young children.

We loved the beach view from our balcony, atmosphere and beautiful location of the hotel. The breakfast each morning was delicious and abundant. It was easy to take a beach stroll, and the hotel desk staff provided us with a map and information as to where to go, depending on what kind of beach area we wanted. The beach directly in front of the hotel is surfer friendly and decent for a stroll, but not for swimmers, at least during the red-flag conditions at our time there. Walking westward on the beach however, provides great views, some more shallow and calm wading areas, and even some coral and sea life sightings! We would definitely stay again - it is an affordable place to stay that is located a reasonable distance from El Yunque Rainforest, San Juan sights, and the ferry to Culebra island for a day trip. The neighborhood was not the classiest, but we felt safe enough to walk the beach at night. We appreciated the gated parking and locked entry to the hotel as an extra assurance.

The location was excellent. It was a few steps from the ferry to Culebra and Vieques. The rooftop patio was also great to hang out on.
