Gran Melia Golf Resort Puerto Rico

If you are looking at this hotel, I would recommend staying there. It would be a great hotel if you had kids with you, and without kids, it was still really romantic. It is set back a ways from the main road, and it will take you about 30-40 min to get to San Juan. But it's closer to other attractions. It's right near El Yunque (rain forrest), and close to the ferry to Culebra, and the Kayaking in the Bio bay. The Kiosks in Luquillo are close, and a great place to spend your evenings. All of them have good food, many have live music, and they are all close to the beach. They look like a flea market, but don't be fooled, it's some of the finest food you will eat. I recommend "Congas", near the west end of the Kiosks. While it may be true that the beach wasn't the most amazing beach in PR, it's ease of access was wonderful, and it wasn't packed with people. And for me, it was still a perfect beach. As with almost all resorts, and most hotels these days, they will nickel and dime you on everything. Parking is roughly $15/day, internet is roughly $15/day, and I was on T-mobile, and couldn't get any data on the grounds. Maybe AT&T and Sprint could do better, but Verizon doesn't exist on the island. Some people are happy to not be connected, but if you aren't one of them, know that you will have to go to the lobby area for free wifi. I would say if you can get this place for XXX-XXX per night, then factoring in the other fees, that's a good deal for this hotel. All in all, this would be a great place to spend a week in PR, especially if travelling with children. ...read more

You are stuck with restaurants in the resort. Keep in mind that resort fees and parking fees are charged separately.

What I'd written above

Very nice. Breakfast Buffet was high.

see my comments above.

Its a great Resort, and one should keep aside an entire day to just chill and unwind at the pool, pool-bar and the beach, just lying on those hammocks.

Again do not stay here unless you plan on staying at the resort the whole time and make sure you plan on renting a car ahead of time I rented one at the hotel n a week before u came n then when I went to pick it up they told me they have my car away staff was rude love the hotel other than the food they have at the resort was not authentic or good I can't from Puerto Rican patents n that good at passion was horrible ...read more

Needed more staff when checking in. Location of the resort is terrible in a bad area. If getting a unit with kitchen it is not equiped to cook in anyway. If you book at the Gran Melia, plan on not leaving the resort we rented a car and could not find a decent place to eat. One plus we all lost weight. Also no entertainment you will be in bed early.
