Sorry for the delay.
After thinking about what to write, I think
I can sum up PR in a few sentences.
There are many better places in the Caribbean.
The hotel is very nice, but in the city.
It is on the ocean, but not really private.
It is private in the sense that not too many hotels can have there guests walk up.
Pool is ok, just not designed well, for instance, you can't swim around the whole pool, you have to get up and walk to the next section.
The beach (man made) is like a round lagoon. Good for little kids (I have two 5 and 7) but lousy because you can't enjoy any waves.
Morton's steakhouse (like Ruths' chris) was awesome, and worth one night out.
The rooms were standard, we had three connecting together, each had a deck.
Had access to the HHonors lounge, which was great for breakfast and drinks at night.
Hotel was vert full and staff was great.
It was my first time in PR, and I was a little disappointed in the traffic and distances to get to places.
Rainforest was ok, and city life was good - felt very safe.
Next time i'd try the Westin Rio Mar.
Much higher quality, plus kitchens.
P.S. It was good for a last minute trip two days prior to burn a GLON award and eight free Delta tix
