Top Cangrejo Arriba Hotel Reviews

Marriott Isla Verde Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Room are clean and the staff are maintained."

The Royal Sonesta San Juan

8/10 Good

"The staff here were lovely. The private access to the beach is so nice to have if you want to stay on property for that. We loved the swim up bar with TVS but it was a shame it closed at 6/6:30 pm every day. I would recommend this to go till 8pm as the pool closes at 9pm. The do not disturb door tag was kind of odd. Other than that it was convenient to the area and our purpose of a relaxing trip."
