La Concha Renaissance San Juan Resort Resort

excellent and have told family and friends about this hotel.

This resort is by far the best resort I visited. This was my first visit to PR. I went solo. There will be a next time with friends. Maybe a girlfriend getaway. The taxi from the airport to the hotel is $19. It was wonderful that I could communicate in English and not worry about my mediocre Spanish skills. The ride was about 15 minutes. I arrived before check in time and the friendly hotel staff took my bags and called me when the room was available. I didn't mind that I waited an hour because the lobby is beautiful it has a bar and the staff seems to be all models. A staff member told me about the various tours and activities. She gave me brochures. While waiting for check in you can grab a drink at the bar, walk around and explore the beautiful site of the pools. and of course the beach. If you are lucky you can be entertained by a wedding taking place by the pool . It's a perfect resort for a destination wedding. I had an ocean front room no balcony it had a ledge. Room 707. It was a beautiful view. The room was clean and updated. The bathroom was also clean. I had a king sized bed with a living room area and a fridge. There are four restaurants on the resort. I ate at two. There is a new restaurant there. I highly recommend this beautiful hotel to my family and friends. Thank you so much. Can't wait to go back.

The resort is beautiful, stunning even, and I really am happy to see that the hotel looks just as new today as it did when it first reopened. Updates to the lobby and rooms are fantastic (even though the lobby has always been spectacular -- white marble everywhere, water features in the entrance and inside, the giant open glass doors to the pool area -- I really like the touch of turquoise and light shades of blue that they have added as accents throughout). This was the first time in many years that I have stayed in the Ocean Tower (rather than the newer Suites Tower) and I have to say that I really enjoyed being back in this part of the resort. This is the original structure from 1958 and every room offers an ocean front view. It's just a classic! Elevators are super fast. The staff, This is what really sets this resort above the rest. Even though I've been coming here for 10 years and there are staff members who have been here since the beginning and remember me, I know they treat new guests just as welcoming as they treat me. I see and experience it every time I visit. From Felix, who greets you when you exit your taxi to the Lobby Bar staff (Jimmy, Alejandro, Manual) and Solera team (Jesus at the bar, Joaquin on the pool deck) and many, many, MANY more! They made all of my friends feel welcome and special. Thank you. The food on property is also noteworthy. Delicious salads, burgers and wraps at Solera and wonderful breakfast at Delcias. And Perla (inside the iconic conch shell) -- absolutely fantastic. We had my birthday dinner there this year and it was the experience I've ever had there. Everything was top-notch. I have never been disappointed with La Concha -- and, as always, I'm already looking forward to my next visit. Lastly, for those who have been concerned about the state of San Juan after the hurricanes, I'm happy to report that I could not really discern any significant differences during this visit to San Juan verses previous trips.

First of all, If you are trying to decide if you should go to Puerto Rico or not, GO! It is back and as beautiful as ever! I just spent 10 days at La Concha as well as many other places on the Island (Rincon, Culebra, Fajardo, Crash Boat, etc). What a vacation! From the second I was dropped off by my taxi at La Concha I knew I was in for a great 10 days. I had a pool-view Cabana room and could not have been more happy! I sat at night on my balcony and people watched and listened to the Coqui Frogs sing looking pool and beautiful gardens. So relaxing! Some people say you should get an ocean view room. But I was very happy with my pool-view room. I would get the same room next time! (And there will be a next time!) A few people made my stay so special. On my first day while waiting for my room to be ready I sat at the bar and had a beer and talked to Juan Noriega. Juan was so helpful telling me about the hotel and things to do on the island. He went above and beyond to make me feel special and make some great recommendations on things to do and see while on my vacation. Thank you Juan. Your advice and hospitality was greatly appreciated! I had an AMAZING breakfast at the hotel's breakfast buffet (you MUST try the buffet!) My server was Jose Cruz and he was awesome! I have been a restaurant manager for 18 years and I must say that Jose is a such an asset to La Concha! He talked me into ordering an omelette with the Buffet (included in the price of the buffet) which was amazing and he took the time to stay and talk with me and made me feel appreciated and a valued guest. Thank you for taking the time you spent with me Jose! Your amazing service is appreciated! I must also mention the GREAT service by my housekeeper Angelica Rivera. She was so sweet and a welcomed smiling face every day! I always knew that if I needed anything I could go to her and she would have a big smile for me and get me whatever I needed. She was a bright spot in my day.
