Sheraton Puerto Rico Hotel and Casino





I stayed at the Sheraton Puerto Rico Hotel and Casino during a four day stop in Puerto Rico as part of my eight island swing through the Caribbean. During my visit I obtained information on Caribbean cruises and vacation packages in the region. I enjoyed every minute of my stay in Puerto Rico, and in particular my lodging at the Sheraton Hotel. I considered it one of the better hotels to vacation when visiting the island as it is very comfortable, perfectly located and provide exquisite services.

The hotel is also known as the Sheraton Convention Center Hotel and is part of the Starwood family of hotels. The hotel is located on 200 Convention Boulevard in San Juan, the capital. It is approximately 10 minutes from the main airport, Luis Munoz Marin International airport. The hotel provides easy access to a lot of local activities including cruise ship ports and old San Juan historic district. In fact if you reserve an ocean view room, you can see the cruise ships when they are in port. The hotel is much closer to the Pan American cruise ship terminal where the Princess, Royal Caribbean and Celebrity docks. If you are cruising at the Old San Juan cruise ship port, it is a short distance of approximately 10 minutes across the river.



The stylish 503 room hotel was built in 2007 and contains 22 fabulous suites. There are 4 conference rooms occupying 35,000 square feet of flexible event space equipped with the latest technology, including high-speed Internet access. It is also opposite to the fabulous state of the art San Juan convention center and next to the San Juan Marina. As a result, it is an ideal location for meetings and of course conventions.

The hotel has three restaurants, the awardd winner choice restaurant on the first floor and pool bar and grill on the fourth floor. The latter restaurant is part of a 57,000 square foot sun deck containing an infinity pool. The pool area is outstanding as the pool area is littered with umbrellas and chairs for sun bathing. There are kiddies pools and 3 adult pools. The amazing thing about the pools are the design. You can lean over the ledge and enjoy the beautiful view form the fourth floor. The main eating area is the nightly buffet at the Asian Grill and buffet. The eating house is so popular that advance reservations is required to get a seat. I am unable to provide a review of the food as I was unsuccessful on two occasions as they were booked two days out.

I think the biggest asset of the hotel is its staff. I felt very much at home as the staff went out of their way to make my stay an enjoyable experience. They were also knowable about the island and were able to provide valuable information about the islands attractions which made getting around very easy.

My room was very comfortable and spacious although it was a standard room with two double beds. It contained a flat screen TV, a tub for showering and free coffee and water daily. There was also  free complimentary Internet service and a 24 hour in room dining service. Other hotel amenities included an Internet cafe and a well equipped gym.

I wish to strongly recommend this hotel to the potential visitor to Puerto Rico.  I was impressed with the service provided and would give them thumbs up for excellent service and caring for the guests.
