The property is beautiful. We enjoyed the different pools and lounge chair options along with the accessible bars and food. The gym facilities are top notch! We found the staff very friendly and helpful at every point of the grounds. I would like to personally Thank Coralys at check-in. Our room 'didn't pass inspection' and therefore was not available. After a long day of travel that was not a good start. Coralys however, did give us an available upgraded room along with breakfast at no extra charge. She was very nice and patient with us. Even when I called back to the front desk when our room was freezing cold. That was quickly remedied when Coralys explained that there is no heat option, to just turn it off then back on and lower the temperature to our liking (pro tip for other travelers) The breakfast buffet options were plentiful! We were greeted by Yanira who as been with the hotel for 32 years! She recognized and greeted us every morning as she showed us to our table. Yanira is a delight to talk to. In addition, we had Janet a couple of days as our server along with a few other guys that were just as delightful! We also enjoyed the nightly live entertainment. After a day of sightseeing and excursions, it was very nice to come back to hotel filled with excellent live music. Though the hotel is a bit 'dated' it is a not to it is a not to its era. It is clean, the hallways smelled wonderful and the soap, body gel and & shampoo is wonderful! I will stay again!

I really like my time here. It was my second time this year and honestly was such a wonderful and convenient way to travel to Puerto Rico however, I am having issues with staff right now because after clearing up all of our charges, the hotel charged my account and additional $500 and has been avoiding my phone calls. Really disappointed.

The Fairmont El San Juan is an easy few minutes drive from the airport. There is ample parking and we had no difficulty finding a spot during our three night stay. Check in was quick and I was given a complete overview of the property. It was immaculate and well laid out. Our room was clean and comfortable, great tv with lots of viewing options, the bathroom was big and hot showers. The bars by the pool were great and we watched football games and chatted with other guests. We had an amazing meal at CANA and our server was so nice and engaging. When we walked the property at night it was so beautiful and the lighting was stunning and well designed. This was my first visit to Puerto Rico and it was one of the best trips I've been on in a long time. The Fairmont El San Juan is a fantastic property and I look forward to staying again.

We have been here many times over the years, but i have to report that the "included breakfast buffet" was pitiful. Almost on the level of Holiday Inn Express. Poor selection. Fruit was good. Very understaffed for the Christmas holiday. We will not be back.

Stayed for 4 nights in a supposed to be stay 4 nights get 1 night free, but ended up paying for the 4th night anyway. Staff told us their rate is flexible and can change anytime. We were told we will not be charged resort fee, in lieu of the discrepancy between Expedia rate and Fairmont rate, but got charged the resort fee as soon as we left the hotel. In the room we stayed in, the bathroom enclosure is not properly sealed so it’s leaking water, making the floor constantly wet, the bathroom door barely fits the room when it swings; definitely needs an update to sliding or swing out door perhaps. The fridge in our room is making loud noises, the adjoining door exacerbates the situation, we can hear the occupants in the other room. I am pretty sure they can hear my snoring as well. In one of the nights of our stay, police officers were seen knocking on the room opposite ours. The fitness Center had several non-working treadmills, maintenance needs to keep up. The water close to the shore is turbid due to the wave scouring the sand. The grounds look good though, and that was our only consolation.

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Staff was friendly and helpful, and we were literally in walking distance of the beach and various restaurants. Additionally the hotel was willing to hold onto our luggage until we were able to check in and until we needed to leave to catch our flight. Overall, we would stay here again.
