Intercontinental Hotel San Juan Puerto Rico Where Paradise is Found

The Intercontinental Hotel San Juan in Puerto Rico is a special place to stay. For Keith and I, hotels are not just a place to sleep. When we travel, we spend a good portion of time at our hotel. Therefore the hotel stay becomes a part of the whole travel experience. It can be difficult to feel comfortable and at home in a hotel room, but that is what we look for. Keith and I love good service, a hotel with an interesting past, one that is visually appealing and we like a comfortable, well-appointed room.

The staff at the Intercontinental made this a truly special stay. Everyone at the hotel smiled, greeted us every time we passed them and eagerly helped when we needed it. We chose the Intercontinental Hotel San Juan based on location. It’s nestled on the beautiful Isla Verde beach, it’s ten minutes from the airport, and it’s only a short Uber ride to Old San Juan.

Why San Juan?

We chose San Juan as our destination because we have always wanted to visit Old San Juan, plus we wanted to relax on a pretty beach and soak up some sun. San Juan seemed a perfect fit. We also felt the island could use a couple more tourists since tourism has been down. Since the hurricane hit, many people still think Puerto Rico is not ready for visitors.
