Hotel Condado Palm Inn San Juan - Tapestry Collection by Hilton (San Juan, Puerto Rico)

Whether you're just on a pre-cruise overnighter, or you're staying for a few days, there are few better places to be for fun and entertainment than this central part of Condado. There are casinos, shops and restaurants right on the doorstep, so you can live every minute to the max.

A cut above your average mid-range chain hotel, this Best Western Plus has a definite touch of glamour that guests love. The rooms are spacious and well-appointed with the latest tech gadgets, as well as all the standard amenities you'd expect, and they have their own balconies. For extra wow factor, opt for a room with a sea view.

It's the little things which make a stay at this hotel special - like the staff knowing your name and adding a personal touch, your specific requests being met without any problems, or simply attentive and discreet housekeeping. Overall, guests say that the service is excellent, so come and enjoy it!

If you want to roll out of bed and straight onto the sand each morning, then you're out of luck here - you'll have to walk for about 5 minutes to get to the beach. However, once you get there, the deal is sweetened with an exclusive area and loungers for guests of the hotel.

If one thing could improve this hotel, guests say that it would be to have an onsite restaurant and room service. There's a free breakfast provided, but for lunch and dinner, you'll have to head out to one of the eateries nearby, or buy your own food and self-cater.

Unfortunately, parking in Condado is at a premium, and while you can park onsite at the hotel, you do have to pay for it. Some guests have complained that the full parking fees are not made clear until you get to the front desk, but if you're driving, your options are probably limited anyway.
