If you're prepared to spend a few $, and are interested a bit of history, have a look at the El San Juan ( San Juan Puerto Rico Hotels & Beachfront Resorts - El San Juan Hotel & Casino ) and click the "Photos" button in the lower right of the pictures.

You'll get way more pool and beach than you'll know what to do with. You won't need to wander for great food, either. Haven't been there since April '05, but it was a very classy and comfortable place at that time.

thanks for all the input. we decided to stay at the Hampton Inn and Suites. We booked rooms at fairly cheap price. its not on the beach but not far either. for one night this hotel looks ok. read a lot of good reviews. if anybody has stayed here i would appreciate any feedback on that as well. thanks a bunch.

We once spent a week at the El San Juan and it was fabulous.

I booked on Priceline just two weeks ago for our September 07 cruise. Had to go as high as $100 to get a hotel. I thought Priceline would have had better prices. On BiddingFortravel.com - The informed Priceline Travel Bidding Forum others quoted bids being accepted for $65, and that was more "in season" than our September visit. We got the Normandie Hotel, right next to the Carib Hilton. It looks OK but I would rather have gotten the Carib Hilton.

Does anyone know how long it will take to get to the Pan American Pier from the area of our hotel?

Thanks!

go to the website hotelsbythepier.com. look up san juan puerto rico and you should be able to find the hotel, or one close to it. you will be able to see how far it is to the pier.

We got the Coutryard Marriott Isle Verde for our January cruise on Priceline. From what I've read, it sounds like a nice place.

We stayed post cruise at the Marriott in Condado area, 2 adults, 2 teenage girls, plenty of space in one room for all of us with a great balcony overlooking pool and beach. Beautiful pool (altho shaded a good part of the day, lounges in the sun get grabbed quick) and beach(be careful, very strong undertow, but shallow quite a ways out), terrific staff, had a great time. About 15-20 minute cab ride from pier 4, old San Juan area and airport. We booked last minute thru hotel, could definately gotten a better price elsewhere, but it was worth not having to fly home to a blizzard the day we got off the ship!
