Warm Weather Hotels: Big But Beautiful in Puerto Rico

Where: Los Rosales St [map], San Juan, United States, 00902

It's big, but it's still good. We're talking the luxurious Caribe Hilton San Juan between historic San Juan and Condado in Puerto Rico. Yes, there are 814 rooms or suites, but that means they've got 9 restaurants as well. There's even a Starbuck's, although the jury's still out on whether that's a good thing when we're on vacation. We don't want places to look too much like home.

Anyway, the Caribe Hilton San Juan is basically equipped to deal with everybody, be it a family trip, a romantic couple's vacation or even business travel. Of course, it's not always easy to keep your service standards high and appropriate to all those different kinds of guests, and we won't pretend things run perfectly there.

Guest feedback does show, however, that the vast majority of stays work out well, and the friendliness of the staff and the great beach are recognised by all. And a lot of people praise the comfortable beds. The main problem at the Caribe Hilton tends to be the relatively high costs in some of the restaurants.

A nice touch is that the hotel complex includes tropical gardens and a bird sanctuary, so you don't have to go far at all to find something to do (once you've done all your shopping in the hotel's boutiques). There are lots of different deals to be had so shop around when you're booking to make sure you don't pay full price--at a minimum, there are usually free night deals available for longer stays.
