Frommer's Review

This is one of the busiest hotels in Puerto Rico, with enough facilities, restaurants, and distractions to keep visitors occupied for weeks. It is the most prominent of San Juan's hotels, set on a poor strip of beachfront on the Condado. It's a favorite of business travelers, tour groups, and conventions, but it also attracts independent travelers, especially families, because of its wide array of amenities. The Hilton is its major rival, and we still prefer it . Of the three chain-related properties on the island, the Wyndham Condado Plaza has revolved into the most middle-brow. They have two minor and rather unattractive swimming pools and lots of security-related tension between the sunbathing area around those two pools and the narrow sands of a beach that the hotel shares with members of the public. And it's not a great beach, but narrow and short in breadth. So the pools are small and overcrowded with hotel guests.

Each unit has a private terrace and is spacious, bright, and airy, fitted with deluxe beds, either one king-size, two doubles, or two twins. The good-size bathrooms contain tub-and-shower combos. The complex's best section, the Plaza Club, has 80 units (including five duplex suites), a VIP lounge reserved exclusively for the use of its guests, and private check-in/checkout service.

Use of the facilities at one Wyndham can be charged to a room at the other. Only the Wyndham El San Juan Hotel has a larger array of dining options. This place is known for its restaurants with culinary diversity that attract many local residents. The hotel's premier restaurant -- a hot ticket on San Juan's dining scene -- is Cobia, winner of several culinary awards .

Facilities:
6 restaurants; 2 bars; 3 outdoor pools; 2 tennis courts; health club and spa; 3 Jacuzzis; business center; watersports equipment; children's programs; car-rental desk; salon; 24-hr. room service; laundry service; dry cleaning; casino
