Aire de Olive

San Juan beach water club has always been my go to when I one time Puerto Rico. They are currently in renovation. They are switching owners, so they are changing the look of the place and updating it.

I can't recommend this hotel enough. The staff was absolutely incredible - so kind and helpful (from the front desk, to the bartenders, pool and beach staff, housekeepers, etc.). The hotel is modern and clean and the vibes are immaculate. The food was fresh and delicious. Everything was so easy. You can walk directly across the street (a 10 second walk) and you're on the beach with beautiful clear blue water. They set up chairs and towels for you, which is included with your stay. We also loved that this hotel felt more quiet and peaceful than the hotels in Condado which were crowded and a bit much. I highly recommend staying here and we will be back!! Such a great experience.

The room and pool areas were nice. Clean and attractively designed. The pool attendant was great. But the two restaurants were both problematic. Bad food and bad service. We ordered fresh raw oysters without sauces or special preparation, but our oysters came all covered with some oily spiced dressing. It was nasty tasting. When we asked why the oily stuff was put on our oysters when we ordered them plain, we were told it was to "add color". Many other problems with the restaurants.
