[quote=Anonymous]Just got back from the Caribe Hilton.  We enjoyed it.  There are lots of ocean-front chairs so if sitting on the sand is your thing, you're well set-up.

Also, the pool is gorgeous.

It's not any more set away from things than any of the hotels that are on a beach.

If you want to be walkable to Old San Juan you won't be by a beach and vice versa.

It's very expensive but not that fancy.  Most balconies overlook the hotel ballrooms and restaurants.  You have a great view but to see the ocean you have to look beyond a huge roof.

It was a very comfortable place.  Nice beds.  Good A/C.

Doors are thin so you hear the toddlers running down the hall as late as ten pm.  That's annoying.  Somewhat unavoidable.

The check in desk takes ten years to get to you.  They are incredibly inefficient.  I have no idea why.  But they are also very, very busy.

Some good things about the Caribe Hilton: 
Full Starbucks in the lobby if you're a Starbucks family.  
Nice ice cream / breakfast / snack shop off of the lobby.
Has a Morton's off of the lobby with a gorgeous view over the water.
The bar by the pool is nice.
The beach is truly private, so you don't have to worry about security there.
The staff is quite nice.
The compound is large enough that a family can  each do their own thing.

Negatives:

The breakfast in the lobby restaurant is $40 per person.  Which made us eat it only once.  Crazy for eggs and bacon.  The highest I've ever seen in any hotel lobby breakfast situation.

They talk about how great their pina colada is and how they originated it, but it's served in a plastic cup and it's not actually that good.
