I was in the tower and the corner rooms are the larger rooms. It was large enough for four (two were kids) and they provided a cot for free; I was there at a peak time as well
the view was fantastic on the higher floors (can't recall what floor I was on)
I was curious about the cabanas and from what I saw they were regular rooms and if you liked being right on the pool that was a good location if you could get a lower floor room with a deck to the pool.
I don't know if the corner rooms were better there or not though

First, search here for thwarted crime topic from my stay.
I was in a cabana and loved the corner room. We had connecting rooms and it was VERY roomy. Now, if you are BELOW the third floor corner cabana, keep the sliding door LOCKED and valuables in the safe. Again, for details, read my past post about attempted criminal activity.
IMO, I felt the cabanas were a little nicer. I saw a tower room on 16 and it was tiny. The views were great, but I would stay at the cabana again.
That said, if you are a young hip person or couple, the REN is GORGEOUS

If the new Renaissance is available, I would recommend it over the Marriott. I have stayed at both and its like night and day.
Many posts on here, including mine but the Marriott San Juan in my opinion is one of the worst Marriott properties in the system.
