My experience at Esj Azul was a mixed bag. The location is fantastic, just minutes from the beach and airport, but the service fell short. While the room I stayed in was updated and nicely decorated, there were definitely a few hiccups that put a damper on my stay.

The room I had was recently updated and beautifully decorated, but I did overhear that not all rooms were in the same shape. Some felt dated and were not as clean.

Breakfast was decent, served until 11 am, but it didn't blow my mind. Still, it was good enough to start my day.

Facilities

The hotel has a nice pool area and decent amenities. However, I did wish they offered free beach chairs and better access to the beach.

The view from the 16th floor was stunning, offering amazing sunsets, but the overall stay was disappointing due to several issues. While the location is fantastic, being just minutes from the airport and right on the beach, the service and room quality fell far short of expectations. The plumbing issues and inconsistent housekeeping were quite frustrating.

Rooms

5.0

I had to switch rooms because the first one was outdated and smelled musty. The second room was an improvement but still had cleanliness issues and lacked basic amenities like wash cloths and kitchen utensils.

Service

5.0

The service I received varied quite a bit. While one staff member, Maria, was genuinely helpful, others were unaccommodating, and I faced repeated issues with getting basic supplies like towels.

Location

5.0

The location is excellent! I loved being so close to the airport and the beach, plus there are plenty of restaurants around.

Dining

5.0

The complimentary breakfast was just okay and didn't offer much variety. I found the food to be rather mediocre.

Facilities

5.0

Facilities like the renovated lobby were nice, but overall upkeep seemed lacking, especially in the room and hallways. It felt like some areas needed a lot more attention.

My stay at Esj Azul Apartment was quite disappointing. While the location is convenient, being near the beach and local attractions, I faced major issues with the cleanliness of my room and customer service. Overall, I wouldn't recommend returning until significant improvements are made.

Rooms

The room was outdated and had a foul odor, resembling mold or something equally unpleasant. I found the carpets dingy and the overall cleanliness unacceptable.

Service

5.0

The front desk staff lacked friendliness, and when I raised concerns about the cleanliness, I didn't receive the support I expected.

Location

The location is great, just a short taxi ride from restaurants and Old San Juan, which was a major plus.

Dining

I found the service at La Cueva Cafe inconsistent. They provided the wrong order and poorly handled my requests.

While the pool was decent and the amenities had potential, there was clear room for improvement in their management and cleanliness.

I recently stayed at Esj Azul and found the location to be fantastic, right on Isla Verde Beach and close to great restaurants. However, the condition of the rooms was disappointing, and I experienced issues with the service during my stay.

Rooms

5.0

The room I was initially assigned was outdated and not what I expected from the photos online. After changing rooms for a so-called renovated one, I still found the bathroom and kitchen lacking updates. Overall, it was very humid at night, making the sheets uncomfortable.

Service

5.0

The staff were friendly, especially Rico the doorman who had a great sense of humor. However, I encountered some delays with room cleaning and issues with the front desk service. The bartenders seemed disengaged, which took away from the experience.

Location

5.0

The location is excellent, making it easy to explore nearby attractions and restaurants. I loved the convenience of being so close to the beach and having a grocery store within walking distance.

Dining

5.0

While breakfast was served until 11 am and was decent, it wasn't really good. I would have liked better food options seeing as the dining staff weren't very attentive.

Facilities

5.0

The pool area was beautiful and newly renovated, which was a highlight of my stay. However, the access policy to the beach from the pool could use some improvement.

My stay at Esj Azul Apartment was quite disappointing. The beach location is great, but the room conditions were definitely below my expectations. The staff could improve their service, making the stay less enjoyable than anticipated.

Rooms

5.0

The first room I got was old and smelly, with dirty towels and musty odors. Even after an upgrade, the cleanliness was still an issue, and the room, while having a decent view, felt outdated.

Service

5.0

Throughout my stay, I found the customer service quite poor. The front desk staff were not very friendly, and I was surprised they denied my request for ice, which seemed unreasonable.

Location

5.0

I loved the location right on the beach with beautiful views, and it's easy to reach Old San Juan from here. However, beach access was a bit tricky since it was only possible through the back of the lobby.

Dining

5.0

Dining options were hit or miss. While some food was okay, I also faced issues like slow service and random quality in the restaurant. It wasn’t the worst, but definitely not excellent.

Facilities

5.0

The hotel had basic facilities in place, but there were definitely areas that could use improvement. The pool was closed during my visit, and I wouldn't recommend using the kitchen utensils provided.
