We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights prior to our cruise. We were given a room with a balcony overlooking the pool. The room was large with a poorly lit bathroom. The hotel is clean with a friendly staff. I would not call this a destination hotel as it is 2 blocks from the beach. It met our needs perfectly. The hotel has an Asian restaurant that you should not miss.

My wife and I stayed one night post cruise here before returning to Canada. The physical state of hotel was a little worn but this was compensated for by the remarkable friendliness and helpfulness of the staff... especially a young man named Edwin a doorman/porter who could not have been more helpful. He gave us detailed directions to the municipal bus stop close by.... so we could go to see El Morro fort etc in Old San Juan. The bus ride was slowed by absolutely awful traffic but worthwhile to see how the locals had to get around. The whole experience at the hotel was positive and despite the need to spruce up the rooms..... especially the bathroom... it was the people at the desk and young Edwin who pulled up my rating of this place (which is close to the airport ..).

We stayed at the Holiday Inn Isla Verde precruise on January 24, 2008.

Check in was a breeze. We were given a room on the top floor (8th floor) with a view of the ocean and pool area.

The room was a bit small, but very clean and nice. It had a balcony as well, but it was "standing room only" balcony...only about 18 inches or so in depth.

Every one at the hotel was very friendly.

The hotel is in easy walking distance of many restaraunts, a casino, and the beach.

I would stay here again next time I return to San Juan.

My husband & I stayed here one night before leaving on a cruise. We were amazed at how nice the hotel was. Probably the nicest Holiday Inn we've ever stayed in. Had a pool side room with a balcony and enjoyed sitting out there. Hotel was located within walking distance of the beach and downtown. Also close to airport. Holiday Inn staff was friendly and helpful. Ate in the restaurant twice - the food was good, although it was quite a wait for food to arrive. Would stay at this hotel again if we ever go back to San Juan. Recommend for everyone.
