I first stayed at the Ritz Carlton San Juan <\/a>in 2008.\u00a0 I was living in Germany and came to Puerto Rico for a family wedding.\u00a0 I treated my mom to a weekend stay before we met up with the rest of the family.\u00a0 For frequent travelers like myself, many hotel stays can quickly turn into a faint memory.\u00a0 However, this experience is one I still think of.\u00a0 Several weeks ago, I was in Puerto Rico touring the east coast of the island<\/a>.\u00a0 The last stop was\u00a0in San Juan for a wedding of a dear friend of mine. \u00a0All about the hotel:<\/p>\n

\"View<\/a>
View from out room at Ritz Carlton San Juan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The scene:\u00a0<\/strong> Isla Verde (the main area of San Juan) is lined with hotels and condos which cater to tourists.\u00a0 The hotel is located in the furthest end of Isla Verde in a secluded area, immediately giving you an air of exclusivity as you enter.\u00a0 Upon checking in, you are welcomed with champagne by a friendly staff member.\u00a0 Compared to larger resorts in the area, I appreciate the more personal vibe of the hotel without taking away the amenities of a luxury resort.<\/p>\n

\"Room<\/a>
Our Room at the Ritz Carlton San Juan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The room:<\/strong>\u00a0 Our deluxe ocean view room was large and airy with the perfect light coming in.\u00a0 The d\u00e9cor was luxurious yet minimalistic.\u00a0 We loved the Asprey London toiletries and the ample size of the bathroom.\u00a0 We also enjoyed how quiet and peaceful the room environment was.\u00a0 We barely heard any noise of other guests.\u00a0 It truly made us feel completely relaxed after a busy road trip along the east coast of the island.<\/p>\n

\"Food<\/a>
Cheese selection at brunch<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The food:<\/strong>\u00a0 We had brunch at BLT Steak, which had a special mother\u2019s day buffet which was decadently abundant.\u00a0 We noticed most of the guests were locals there with their families celebrating Mother\u2019s Day.\u00a0 There were several stations available: seafood, sushi, pastries, cheese, and a hot food station. The executive chef does an excellent job at merging the flavors of the island along with an international selection.\u00a0 For breakfast, we enjoyed the continental buffet at Las Brisas.\u00a0 We sat poolside with a caf\u00e9 con leche and quesitos (traditional Puerto Rican puff pastry filled with cream cheese) reflecting on a great trip to Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n

\"Lobby<\/a>

The service:<\/strong>\u00a0 The friendliness I experience but also observed from the staff was exceptional.\u00a0 During\u00a0 our brunch, we noticed a waiter helping an elderly woman select her food from the buffet.\u00a0 I noticed a staff member entertain a child while the parents were trying to place their order. The front desk receptionist noticed my Dutch last name and we struck a conversation about living in Europe (she grew up in Germany).<\/p>\n

\"Ritz<\/a>
Pool and beach area at Ritz Carlton San Juan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Pool and Beach:<\/strong> \u00a0The pool area is smaller than the other larger resorts in the area but the way it is designed makes room for everyone. \u00a0However, if you have a vast ocean in front of you, you might as well take advantage of it!\u00a0 We loved the attention to detail in the pool area: dispensers with sun block and aloe vera gel. \u00a0The beach area is great as it is secluded from the main beach area of Isla Verde due to a natural barrier. \u00a0It’s quiet enough to lounge, have a cocktail, take a dip, and read a book.<\/p>\n

\"Guava<\/a>
Guava Pancakes at Ritz Carlton San Juan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The verdict:<\/strong> \u00a0If you’re looking for a luxury escape, beach views, great service, and good food, this is the place for you.\u00a0The gem of our stay was the service.\u00a0 Not only for us, but how we observed the staff treating other guests.\u00a0 That is what makes a stay unforgettable.\u00a0 Tip: the Ritz Carlton honors government rates depending on availability. \u00a0If you are military\/government, look into those rates while booking. (I used the government rate on my first visit and saved 25%)<\/p>\n
