Mayagüez Resort & Casino

Frommer's Review

Except for the ritzy Horned Dorset Primavera, this is the largest and best general hotel resort in western Puerto Rico, appealing equally to business travelers and vacationers. In 1995 local investors took over what was then a sagging Hilton and radically renovated it, to the tune of $5 million. The hotel benefits from its redesigned casino, country-club format, and 20 acres (8 hectares) of tropical gardens. The landscaped grounds have been designated an adjunct to the nearby Tropical Agriculture Research Station. Five species of palm trees, eight kinds of bougainvillea, and numerous species of rare flora flourish here, adjacent to the institute's collection of tropical plants, including a pink torch ginger and a Sri Lankan cinnamon tree.

The hotel's well-designed bedrooms open onto views of the pool, and many units have private balconies. Units tend to be small, but they have good beds. Some units are designated as nonsmoking rooms, and others are accessible for people with disabilities. The restored bathrooms are well equipped with makeup mirrors, scales, and tub-and-shower combos.

The hotel is the major entertainment center of Mayagüez. Its casino is open daily from noon to 4am. You can also drink and dance at the Victoria Lounge.
