ESJ the staff was very friendly and try to help in any circumstances. It was really safe!! The property needs a lot of updates, the pool was under construction, my husband and I noticed once we checked in. The reason we booked ESJ was to celebrate our honeymoon and enjoy the pool and no pool that was sad. ESJ should advertise there is NO POOL. The room was ok, but it was not clean the kitchen was dirty.The checked in process was horrible, I truly felt bad for the concierge, she was the only one helping like 20 people; my husband and I we waited for almost 2 hours to have the room we booked.I asked for ocean view prior the check in. We received a different room, at the end the concierge accommodated us. Only 2 elevators worked instead of 3.The concierge that checked us in she goes above and beyond. Willy bar tender was very pleasant and very professional.

The property advertises a pool......there is not one and apparently hasnt been for over 5 years.. No basic housekeeping - so if you need TP or towels you are out of luck and must get on your own. Small coffee shop in lounge has awful coffee and no cream at all. Game room not operational and floors throughout lobby get dangerously slick from people coming in from beach or the constant mopping going on. There were live wires hanging from our balcony which overlooked the extent of disrepair property is in. This is all a terrible shame as this property has the best view in all of of Isla Verde.Ended up checking out early and paid to stay a night elsewhere. Still love PR but not ESJ.
