On the first day I requested to change room that’s. Long story On Saturday there was a private party so the guess were not aloud. I was look forward to sit there and listen to live music. Very unhappy. Also two out of three lamps in the room were not working. Out of 5 days I onlyI wanted the room clean 1 day we left at 10 am returned at 4pm the room was not cleaned so we only had clean sheets 2 day.

What I didn’t like is I booked for a king size room for me and my wife for our anniversary when I get there to check in, they said all the rooms are booked except the only room that was available was a double queen size room. Super inconvenient, I asked for a partial refund or some sort of room change. They offered $300 I ended up getting only $186…I don’t think I’ll be staying here when I come back to PR. What a shame.

Check-in took forever due to limited staff, though Ricardo and Ruth were friendly. Unfortunately, both rooms we were given initially had strong odors and visible mold. After hours of waiting in the lobby, we finally got a room that was just okay. We were offered a $200 credit, which doesn’t go far at a resort like this. Things were fine until final checkout—despite being granted late check-out, we returned to find our room locked, belongings taken, and were told the message was “automated.” Turns out the lock battery was dead, and we waited 30 minutes for maintenance. Communication was poor, and the hotel added a surprise $100 credit just before check-out—different from what we were originally told. For a “5-star” resort, it lacked cleanliness, proper maintenance, and staff coordination. Would not recommend El San Juan Fairmont.
