Hotels near Dorado Reef Public Beach, Dorado

I would not recommend staying here unless you want cool pictures of the interior and not much else... I will start with the redeeming factors: The front desk staff (only on location til 5pm) and cleaning staff were lovely and incredibly accommodating. The rooftop area and hot tub were a fun lounge location. Our room had great air-conditioning and the wifi always worked. The location is outstanding, but there are many other hotels in the same area. The cons: (1) Our bed and pillows were extremely hard and uncomfortable, which I have read other reviewers mention. When I first read those reviews, I thought those people must be exaggerating, but they were not. (2) Our key card did not work TWICE after hours, and we had to call an emergency line and get assistance. On the second time, no one answered for awhile, and we had to BREAK IN to our own room. We did not break anything to do this, and it was entirely too simple to do. We still felt safe, though, since the main entrance was locked and code protected and our room had a bolt and safety lock. (3) The bathroom was extremely small and the water pressure was not good. (4) Our sink leaked constantly. (5) Our TV did not work. (6) Our safe did not work. (7) The floors were dirty. After meeting other travelers around San Juan, we realized we over paid (by a lot) for what we got. I would not stay here again unless it was at a big discount.

Loved our stay and definitely have to come back with just the husband to enjoy the rooftop bar and free bottle of wine. Place is beautiful but remember it's an old building so walls have some cracks and are a bit thin but the room and facility were beautiful and clean.

Everything my wife and I wanted to see and do in Old San Juan was within easy walking distance so this hotel is really in an ideal location. We liked the look and feel of the property especially the grand staircase and covered veranda area in front of the rooms. The open air nature of the property really highlights the warm temperatures and encourages you to sit outside and enjoy the environment. We found our room to be comfortable and clean. The bathroom was modern and the shower was large with good water pressure. The room could use more light and the bathroom lighting is equally dim. All the employees were encountered were very helpful and friendly. Make sure to ask for restaurant/bar recommendations. The front desk also arranged for a taxi to take us back to the airport. During our two night stay, our bathroom towels consisted only of large bath sized towels and while we asked about smaller hand towels, none ever appeared. Also the shower door leaked a large amount of water on the bathroom floor - - more annoying than a problem. The message light on our phone blinked from the moment we arrived and despite our efforts to retrieve/delete voicemails, the light continued to flash. I asked the very friendly gentleman at the front desk but he was not sure what to do and when we checked out, the message light was still flashing. These items were too minor to impact our stay and my wife and I would completely recommend this hotel. One word of advice - we enjoyed a couple of beers at the hotel restaurant/bar and were a bit shocked that each bottle of beer was $10 but at least it was cold !! We did not return to the bar/restaurant as there are a great number of nearby places to drink and dine.

We stayed at the Fortaleza for two nights during our family holiday. There were 3 bedrooms with plenty of space for all six of us to have some privacy. The kitchen was huge and we prepared 2 delicious family dinners there. There are balconies overlooking the old San Juan streets. There are many sites, shops, restaurants within walking distance so the location in Old San Juan is perfect for those that want to stay close to the accommodation. We arrived early in the morning and we were able to store our luggage for the day while we walked around town. The downside is the parking is not onsite, but it is in a garage within walking distance.

We loved our 1 night stay here. Our room was quite large and perfect for our family of 4. The location was central allowing us to easily walk around the area. The decor through out was fun, colorful and had some intresting details. There is lots of roof top seating and great views of the surrounding area. The staff here is great and our check in was a breeze. When we were a little lost trying to find our room a gentleman came to our rescue and escorted us to our room even helping us with our luggage! Unfortunately for me I woke up the next morning with an issue with my eye. I needed to get medical help immediately. The woman at the front desk was a huge help locating the right doctor for me to go to and spoke directly with the office to explain my situation. Sadly I did not get her name but she saved the day!

The hotel room was very comfortable. The swimming pool brought many people during the day and afternoon, and there was a smell of urine by the pool. The location is also good. A taxi to the old town will cost around 10 knives and will not spend too much on traffic. Breakfast was good too!
