My room was spacious, comfortable, and clean. Although I could hear it intermittently in my room, I soon got used to the airplane noise, and the noise stopped in late evening. More annoying was the noise from the ice machine directly across from my room (Room 815, to be exact). The breakfast buffet at Salsa was good for the price ($13.95, plus tax and tip), with eggs and omelets cooked to order. Skip the Puerto Rican buffet. It was bland and not worth the price ($23.95, plus tax and tip). I enjoyed Old San Juan tremendously even though I endured the A5 bus. Each one-way trip took 40 minutes to an hour, depending on traffic. Condado is closer to Old San Juan, but it doesn't have as nice a beach as Isla Verde.

My girlfriend and i stayed at the Marriott Isla Verde in Puerto Rico for a week April 1th-7th. We needed peace and quiet near the beach and close to local shops/restaurants. We got two out of three. I wished I knew that the Marriott hotel was next to the airport. We could hear planes all day long. We had a beach view with a small balcony, but keep the door closed to cut down on the noise. We went to the beach daily, but it was a distracting to hear the bigger planes take off constantly.
The room was nice and so was the hotel and restaurant, we will definately return to PR, but we won't stay there again.

A decent place, but very boring for a family with a teen-aged child. No activities at all. Staff did not do anything to create a fun atmosphere. Casino, lobby, and restaurants all small and dull. Room was nice, maid was good and hard working. Surf was rough. Had elevator problems. Beach was filfthy. Jet noise wasn't a day at the beach. Just an OK place, that's it.

I booked this hotel through my vacation club (Royal Holiday). I went for a quick 4 night getaway. I left the kids and my husband at home and went with my girlfriend just to relax. It was perfect for out purposes. It was close to the airport and on a beautiful beach.

The room was a little on the small side, but nicely decorated. It would have felt a little cramped with more than 2 people, but it was fine for the two of us. We had a room with 2 queen beds. I guess a king room would leave more area to walk around or sit. Our view was a mixed bag. We had a partial view of the ocean, which was hindered by a view a roof with, what I think were air conditioner compressors. The noise from the airplanes was definetly audible, but we were not bothered by them. However, on Saturday night, I could hear a band playing in my room (320) until 3:00 am.. I know there was a party in the hotel that night, so that may have been unusual.

The public areas of the hotel were very nice. It was open and airy looking. The pool area was beautiful. There were plenty of lounge chairs. The beach was beautiful too, but when we were there it was so windy, we couldn't sit there, because the sand was blowing all over the place. The workers by the pool and beach were very helpful and friendly. In general, all of the employees were.

We ate at Salsa Restaurant in the hotel one night and it was delicioius. I still can't stop thinking about their Plantain Soup! We tried Metropol nearby and didn't think it lived up to its wonderful reviews. Lupi's Mexican Grill was very good, also in walking distance. Other than that, there is not much near the hotel.

All in All, the hotel was perfect for what we wanted. I would not stay here more than a few days, because there isn't much to do. But all we wanted to do is relax and this was the perfect place to do it.
