Great employees, good price

Went for a week’s vacation, 4 adults. Our flight was cancelled and arrived at midnight. The room was missing the towels, shampoo and soap. Toilet was not working. Management had to move us to another room. This one had everything and cleaner, in other words, ready. Went to bead at 4am, long day. The hotel is under renovation, but the service provided by employees was excellent. The beach is very good and for $10 you can rent a beach chair. Hotel has a cafe/restaurant and the food is very good. All is walking distance and you can rent a car across the street. They have a parking garage under the building and you can go in and out anytime. It you are looking for good price and good service, this one is for you because hotels next to it, are over $500 per night. It’s 10 minutes from airport and Kiosks of Piñones for local food.

The only thing I like about ESJ is that you can walk to the beach from the hotel. The room I stayed had cockroaches my kids were scared and myself too I talked to them about the issue but didn't do anything. I won't stay there anymore and they have to do a lot la of upgrades . The bathroom was old and dirty and the room smells moist .

They are all super knowledgable of the vicinity - ask and they shall point to that direction. IT was the BEST 6 days EVER!! Thank YOU, ESJ. Next Time - Villalba's

I usually do not write reviews but I cannot believe that people are actually still staying at this place. My husband and I were apauled. Ice we got there they said they are under construction for renovation however at no time did we see any construction going on. They did not disclose that they were “under construction” when the reservation was made and they did not disclose that there was no pool. This was my worst vacation experience EVER and Expedia never called me back to resolve the issue but instead sent two emails saying they are looking into the issue. Disgusted…DO NOT BOOK HERE!!

This property is NOT as it appears online. It is not a hotel. It is more like an efficiency unit. And that's it. The property is aging badly. The room appeared and smelled very moldy. The shower had a stained floor, and the shower head was very dirty. So dirty, that we cleaned it ourselves just to be able to use it, only to find out that there was no hot water. We tried calling the front desk multiple times throughout the night; however, no one ever answered the phone. Maintenance came the following morning when I went downstairs and spoke with someone at the desk. She could not explain why no one answered the phone the previous night. The vents from where the air came out had clunks of lint build up. The beds were very uncomfortable. The balcony showed signs of distress. The rebar of the concrete could be seen, and we were not confident at all in its integrity, so we did not go out onto it after the first time. We were finally offered another room, but it was not much better. We ended up changing hotels and going to the Hampton Inn and suites across the street for the rest of our stay.

The first day I arrived they put me in a room that had roaches in it and the second room that was given was not what I requested. I requested a room with king size beds but was given a double bed and was told that they were booked and that was all they had. Second day there the hot water wouldn’t get hot and then ice flew out of AC unit and almost hit me in the head while I was laying down. Went back downstairs to the front desk to request another room and all of a sudden they had a king room available. The front desk staff was extremely rude except for one young man that worked late nights who was very accommodating. This was a terrible experience, forgot to mention the sewage water that was on the floor when I came out of my room and I had to step on top of some weird bins. The staff that brought the fresh towels and wash clothes stated that we could only have a limit of 2 towels and 2 wash clothes a day since it was only 2 of us. Also it states that they have a pool online but it has been out of use for 2 years and yet they charge resort feels. It is hard to get any of the staff on the phone whether you calling from a personal phone or the room phone. I WOULD NEVER EVER STAY HERE EVER AGAIN!!! This hotel ruined my birthday trip!!!

Stayed at the ESJ Towers from February 4th to February 9th 2025 & we enjoyed our stay. The hotel is at a awesome location, right on the beach, & our room was clean with a amazing view of the beach. The hotel pool is still closed just so you know when u book, but overall we really liked staying here.
