We stayed in room 208; 2 twin beds for mom and I. The room was clean and well kept. The air conditioning worked very well. The bathroom was clean and well functioning. Not a 5-star resort bathroom, more like the one we had as kids growing up. The windows in the bathroom would not close completely- I never got to... more

After reading previous reviews, having been in San Juan once before, we decided to book this hotel for our pre-cruise, one-night stay. Upon arrival, the front/lobby of the hotel is very welcoming. Rafael wasn't there, which I was kinda hoping, but that was OK. We were tired anyway, went up to our room. A very simplistic, 2-star at most room,... more

This charming, European style, 2 star hotel is a delight. It is clean, in a great location (only $16 from the airport), and on a quiet street. It is only 1 block away from the wonderful shops and restaurants near Condado Beach. Our room (#302) had a nice balcony and a window in the bathroom. The management was very friendly... more

My wife, two kids and I, just spent two nights at the El Canario by the Lagoon. Like last year, everything was just fine. We got room 504 on the roof, which was very nice, since it had an extra sitting room with frig and table. The room was clean and everything worked. Prices are up from $125 last year... more

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Lagoon for our first trip to San Juan this winter, and absolutely loved it. The rooms are spacious, with a mini fridge, plenty of dresser space, and tile floors. The view from our Balcony was beautiful, and we spent several hours just looking at the city at night. more

I booked the El Canario as a budget pre-cruise stay for my family reunion. We checked in on Thursday and checked-out on Sunday for our cruise. The hotel is budget nothing fancy but it was in a great location to the beach, walking and restaurants. We enjoyed sitting outside on the benches and relaxing and the staff was very friendly.... more
