"Ocean Club is an apt moniker for this hotel thanks to its prime slice of beachfront that hugs a decently sized infinity pool and sun deck, and rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows that make a water-view room well worth the upgrade. The rocky shoreline isn't the best for swimming, although walks on the soft sand watching the waves roll in are a lovely way to start your morning. The main stretch of Condado Beach, complete with chair and umbrella service for cheap, is a five minute walk away (just don't forget to grab a towel from the friendly hotel staff first). Take in the sunset over the Atlantic Ocean on the al fresco beachside terrace at Social restaurant while piña-colada drinking couples around the pool sway to the measured thump of a DJ set. You might feel like you woke up in the middle of a white party in Ibiza, but it works." - Kathleen Squires
