It was recommended by some People that we met at the Condado wild eating at a restaurant nearby. The price and the location is just great, the staff was great and help full. Very clean and a lots of towels. More

Don't let the heat in the lobby discourage you: Your room will be cool, clean, and comfortable. This hotel was apparently built before central air conditioning, as the entrance and lobby window have no doors and glass (a secure curtain covers them, apparently, during storms or when traffic is not anticipated.) This hotel is in a perfect location 2 blocks... More

The El Canario by the Lagoon was clean, grounds well kept, comfortable rooms, and the staff were really pleasant and helpful. The complimentary breakfast was adequate if small on selection, but everything was fresh. This hotel has an elevator, WiFi and good airconditioning. We stayed at the very top which had a wonderful rooftop garden. The hotel is close to... More

location is great if you can't afford a beach hotel. bed was comfortable with air con working well. management are flexible as I received a late check out on request. the lagoon facing rooms are a bit dark inside and the room lack power points (none in bathroom) good value for money. More

My first trip to Puerto Rico could not have been any better staying anywhere else but with the El Canario group. The staff is courteous and friendly, always smiling and cheerful. The desk attendants were wonderful, focused and dedicated to all guests having the best time available for as long as anyone wishes to stay with them ( Rafael, you... More

We were pleasantly surprised to find this rather small hotel amongst all the big expensive luxurious hotels. We were able to park, without extra charge. The desk managers were very helpful. The breakfast was like being in an European Hotel. Other tourists were friendly and delightful. Biggest problem was the noise of the airconditioner. We enjoyed the balconies, views, and... More

Nice location, just off the main area in Candado (close to key attractions). Friendly staff. Clean room. A little noisy if by the elevator. Would stay there again. More
