- “One of the highlights is the private balcony or terrace that comes with each room, offering breathtaking views of either the lush gardens or the sparkling ocean.” On camera111:02
- “You need to know exactly what you're getting into. You will not believe what this villa looks like. Let me show you. On the plus side, they're massive. You get a separate living room, a bedroom, and a kitchenette with a microwave like it's the '90s.” On camera78:38
- “Was at HP last week. They're right across the street from each other, literal stones throw. The room was massive (629 IIRC).” 5
- “The room was massive (629 IIRC). They had a quinceañera one night, the next morning a ton of guests were complaining to the front desk. Couldn't hear anything from our room, but apparently those on the 3rd floor were pretty annoyed.” 5
- “And the storage situation is wild. I've never seen so much storage space in a hotel room in my entire life.” On camera79:03
- “For those seeking a bit more space and luxury, the one-bedroom suites are an excellent choice.” On camera111:12
- “And then we turn around and look at the rest of the room. Look at how big it is. That's like two or three hotel rooms, I swear.” On camera32:20
- “The Terrace offers furnished outdoor seating as a pleasant spot for having a drink or reading a book away from other guests.” 12
- “Room was excellent. Plenty of room. Patio walked right out and was steps from the beach.” 8
- “Suites upsize layouts even more with full kitchens and dining areas, and some rooms enjoy lovely elevated views of San Juan Bay.” 12
- “Breakfast was okay - standard complimentary hotel breakfast fare.” 10
- “The pool was great and lots of dining options. The residence location was nice, but it felt more like a condo setup.” 1
- “The grand reserve is much more sprawling with more restaurant options, at the foothills of el Yunque, better spa and fitness, better pools, worse beach (it has a large beach it's just not as nice).” 1
- “The pool was great and lots of dining options.” 1
- “(Ride share is also easy if that is more your jam.) Having stayed at the Hyatt Grand Regency we really like the property - the pools are quite large and we found it easy to find chairs. There are a good # of restaurants on property, though we liked the Steak House and Japanese restaurant the best.” 1
- “Not sure if the restaurant recently opened, but I'm staying here now and there's definitely one downstairs in the hotel next to the pool. The food is decent and here's the menu: https://hyattcentricsju.my.canva.site/menus” 6
- “We love getting out and eating local so we got out every day. We did eat at Nectar, a newer onsite restaurant one night and found it pricy for how we usually spend/eat, but super delicious.” 8
- “The Hyatt House and the Hyatt Place are both over by the convention center where you will have to drive or Uber to anywhere that's not a chain restaurant.” 2
- “The Breakfast was a decent buffet at $29/pp and had zero issues with parking or breakfast at the hotel being comped as a Globalist.” 8
- “The drinks are tasty but we weren't impressed with the food. We've been twice and the food by the pool has been different both times, but both were delicious.” 1
- “The golf themed restaurant IMO is not good at all. The drinks are tasty but we weren't impressed with the food.” 1
- “Not sure if the restaurant recently opened, but I'm staying here now and there's definitely one downstairs in the hotel next to the pool. The food is decent and here's the menu:” 6

- “The staff is friendly and helpful.” 6
- “The AC is a nice place, the rooms are large and your next to the beach, plus your in the heart of the Condado area.” 4
- “The staff is friendly and helpful. The rooms are updated, and the service has been spot on.” 6
- “That's nice. There's a see-through refrigerator. Don't even have to open it. I kind of like that.” On camera31:53
- “The rooms are updated, and the service has been spot on.” 6
- “I just stayed at the House. It was nice, seemed pretty new, staff were very friendly and helpful, and shuttle to Old San Juan / Beach / convention center ran frequently and efficiently during the day.” 5
- “Another issue worth noting: The late check-in time proved problematic -- the lobby was packed with early arrivals. However, it was peak season.” 12
- “When I went to check out there was no one at the front desk and the lights were off. Not sure if they staff it 24 hours.” 1
- “I don't think either hotel is centrally located, both felt like 30 minutes from the airport either direction.” 1
- “The location of the resort itself feels secluded while you're here. But, it's actually incredibly close to El Yunque, and only about 30 to 45 minutes outside of San Juan.” On camera713:07
- “Yeah I can only speak for the Regency but I wouldn't say it's centrally located either. Depends what you're looking for but you aren't walkable to anything.” 1
- “The residence location was nice, but it felt more like a condo setup.” 1
- “The location and condition of the Place/House isn't worth getting the points.” 2
- “I stay at AC very often for work. Good location and walking distance from most restaurants, shops, beaches and short Uber everywhere.” 4
- “The property sits next to a busy main thoroughfare that leads to beaches and Old San Juan, so it's relatively easy to get anywhere. However, not much is within walking distance, aside from the Puerto Rico Convention Center (eight minutes), the Sheraton casino (six minutes), San Juan Bay Marina (four minutes), plus a shopping mall and some family-friendly restaurants, such as Olive Garden.” 12
- “I stayed at a few Marriotts by the convention center and didn't like the location as much because you are limited to restaurants at T Mobile or would have to Uber.” 4
- “If renting a car, it's a great location and a place I rented before when going with large family.” 4
- “Location is great all in all, even better if renting a car” 4
- “So, my personal opinion is HR Grand Reserve>GH Kauai. It seems in Hyatt world, this is blasphemy, but it ticked all the boxes that I like and love, and for even 20k points a night, I find it a great value.” 8
- “Being from NYC the prices weren't much different and food was very good.” 8
- “I was here last week and this place is honestly really a great value.” 8
- “And then this looks You're wondering what this is. It's actually a little room for the toilet. That's nice.” On camera31:45
- “everything was new bathroom design was a bit weird standing shower with glass panel blocking no cubby inside the shower for anything the shampoo and body wash is outside of it and to turn on and off the shower is on the opposite wall of the shower head.” 6
- “Honestly, the only thing we dislike is the shower setup (it has the half glass that leaves your butt cold).” 6
- “And here's the bathroom. This is the shower. It's like pretty big. Four or five people could be in there.” 3
- “But, our room was next to the gigantic pavilion they used for their opening meeting, and the music was insanely loud...but fortunately, they respected everyone by stopping promptly at 10pm.” 8
