My husband and I stayed at Chateau Cervantes for the first time, for one night before taking a cruise out of San Juan. We had no idea what to expect, and what we found was everything we'd hoped for, and more! The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was clean, comfortable, and everything worked perfectly. The location in the... More

We stayed in a Cervantes Suite (King suite) and had no idea how large of a room we had booked. It was the size of a small apartment with three balconies, an extra half bath, a wet bar and a large living area. The hotel itself was beautiful. The staff was great and stored our luggage we arrived and even... More

Our group booked a night here before departing last Sunday for our cruise and it was a great experience. Even better than I had expected, actually. Instead of the standard hotel room I had expected, we had a sleeping area, sitting area, large restroom and three balconies. It was great for some after dinner wine with our friends before we...

Cervantes is in a great location. All of Old San Juan is walkable from here. It is 15-20 mins away from the international airport as well as the smaller airport, Isla Grande. Also, its just a couple blocks away from where the cruise ships docks for the day. The rooms are nice and they serve a yummy (carb filled) breakfast... More
