We had a three night trip to this very beautiful resort and we liked the grounds very much. Great care was taken with the decor, everything was clean, and the resort was very generous with the towels, an amazing thing in and of itself. There are beautiful views, no matter which way you look, and the staff was truly friendly... More

NOT A 5-STAR RESORT, 3 AT BEST. Up front the hotel looks great, the location, valet staff, but like a cheap piece of jewelry that starts to tarnish as soon as you wear it, the initial appeal fades quickly. The room was partially renovated and needed a full renovation (toilet leaked at the floor seal, carpets were old and always... More

Nice hotel. Friendly and helpful staff. Any food or beverage service was so slow it really made you think the staff forgot about you. The shuttle service to/from the airport was HIGHLY overstated on the website. The water taxi service to / from the private island is a great service. If you don't use it you are wasting a portion...

Don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful hotel, with beautiful rooms. I was surprised however with the commercial toilets in the rooms, crooked light switches, and the over 30 minutes we waited for the staff to fix our broken door lock. Pool is nice, could be nicer for a Waldorf Historia resort...water is low, water park is a ripoff, views... More

Went with my wife in May. Spectacular views and very friendly staff. We stayed at the marina which was brilliant. The palomino island is breathtaking and the daily boat rides are great fun and relaxing especially if you sit on the top deck. I was slightly ambivalent prior to our stay due to all the poor reviews, but go with... More

My experience with ECWAR was nearly a month ago - I had to walk away and simmer, reflect on the overall experience to ensure I didn’t write a review that was scathe-ridden and jaded from recent injury. But this……..I just can’t let go without follow-up. Three weeks to “reflect” - still so disappointed and robbed of what should have been... More

We arrived in PR just 4 hrs (direct flight) from Boston. Airport Xfer to Hotel was right on time and we were eating lunch under a palm tree within the hour. Some reviews we read said the resort was a bit "tired". It was a family trip so we were not looking for quiet luxury. The rooms were fine and... More

The hotel us old but nice. It is very spacious. The ocean view from up top is amazing. The boat ride to the island is cool. The island.is big and well maintained. Wear water shoes though cause the bottom is rocky. My only complaint is the food is very expensive for what you get.

It was a family vacation weekend, which was excellent. Stayed in the Marina area next to the waterpark which is a great location!!.. The waterpark is very good for kids and adults and also enjoyed very much Palomino island... Food prices are good for a resort. Will love the experience!

The hotel is very run down, dirty, and the staff does not make up for this by being over attentive. For the price I would go elsewhere. With a Waldorf hotel there is a level of service and quality expected, this does not come close to meeting that. Hilton should consider removing the Waldorf Name and going with a lower... More
