Checked in to Caribe Hilton 12/28/08, left 1/2/09. All in all, there wasn't anything worthy of major complaints, and there wasn't anything worthy of major praise. Plusses: - Beach and pool areas were nice, and though crowded, we were able to carve out an area for the two of us every day we sought to. - Staff was generally friendly,... more

My wife & I stayed at the Caribe Hilton for 2 days & 1 night prior to taking a cruise. The Hotel is very clean, the staff very helpful & friendly. If you're a Hilton Honors Member (whether using points or paying for the room) the hotel will put you in a separate tower for Honors Members only (from what... more

The Hilton is on a very large and pretty property not far from the airport. We stayed there Dec. 29-Jan 1 and it was a very busy t ime at the hotel. First, the beach was small, but usually if you looked you could find two recliners to lay on without having to walk up and down the length of... more

A group of 10 of us travelled to San Juan to celebrate my parents' 50th anniversary. While we went to San Juan primarily because this was the departure sight for our cruise, we went a few days eraly and stayed at the Caribe Hilton. If this facility was not paradise, I'm not sure what paradise would be. While the rooms... more

We stayed at the HIlton Caribe over Christmas/Hanukkah 2008. Almost every person that we spoke to prior to our trip had told us that they had stayed at the hotel 20-30 years ago and loved it. We were eager to experience a great time. No doubt the hotel was first rate in the 1950's and 1960's--but nostalgia can only go... more

I am writing a long review, so if you are busy, here's the bottom line: there are better deals than this hotel. When I made a reservation in a world famous Hilton resort hotel chain, paying a certain amount of money, there was a certain expectation, but this hotel didn't meet my expectation. First Impression: My first impression of this... more

We stayed here one night pre-cruise. I thought it would be worth booking this hotel for the beach, and it was. What was disappointing was the room. Very dated. Wood panelling on the walls gave it a 70's appearance. We booked a "deluxe" oceanview concierge room. The oceanview was great, but I did not see any advantage to having concierge... more

As HHonors Diamond, I've spent plenty of time in hotels over the years. Overall the lobby and the room were clean and updated, but the hallway to the room was badly in need of a fresh paint job. The steel door frames were already showing rust holes. The big suprise was that they seem to think if you were on... more

While down here in Puerto Rico, we scoped out all of the other hotels that were on our list. The Caribe Hilton has a great beach, and there is a breakwater out a ways from the hotel that keeps the water nice and calm. The resort is probably the largest in San Juan and there are huge pools and tons... more
