There is an unheard of boutique hotel which is just one block from Condado Beach and serves a daily continental breakfast. This excellent little hideaway hotel offers free Wi-Fi in public areas and rooms with air conditioning. This quaint hotel resides In Condado, Puerto Rico and was one of the most charming hotels I have ever had the pleasure of... More

We recently stayed at El Canario for a four (4) night and we enjoyed it. It might not of had fine amenities but its a good place for a good price. The place was very clean and you could have actually smell the cleanliness. The room was a very big room with two big beds. There was a dining area... More

El Canario by the Lagoon was just fine. These bad reviews are probably from people who expect a lot of something for nothing. We came in a group of 5 split between 3 rooms. No problems at all. What I really liked about the place was that its locally owned. There is one guy at the front desk that isn't... More

Don't come here on business, or if you need internet, or if you need a toilet. There is no view. Balconies are filled with hot air from the blowing air conditioning. No air conditioning in the hallways or elevator. Toilet sprayed water in my face and flooded half the room. Fat man at front desk said, "I can give you... More

No frills at the El Canario -- but clean, friendly staff, and great morning coffee and simple breakfast. A short one block walk and you are in the middle of the action in Condado. One more block and you are on the beach. Weekends have concerts. Building is in a classic Puerto Rican decor. We were in town when the... More

Very basic, but still right there in Condado next to everything. Most of the more popular hotels were full and I did not want to pay too much, so we decided to try this one since the location was good. It worked out just fine. Don't expect much from the breakfast or the other amenities, but it was a clean,... More

Hidden from the main street of El Condado, and looking right at the Condado Lagoon (hence the name), you'll find this little hotel. First of all I have to say that I agree with some reviews from past contributors. The location is one of the best things it has. The prices are relatively low for its location, as all other... More

We actually liked the hotel. It's in a great location in Condado, right off of the main strip, close to the beach also. The rooms are good and clean. But the front desk person in the evenings is terrible. Very rude, definitely has a clear dislike for tourists. Which is odd given his career choice. During our 2 night stay... More

If you are looking for a clean hotel which is well located, this is a great choice! It's only a 2 minute walk away from the beach and Ashford Avenue (where all the hotels, restaurants, bars, etc are) so at night it is very quiet! Our room had a double bed, AC, cable tv, wifi, a balcony with views of... More
