"Set on a prime slice of beachfront that hugs a decently sized infinity pool and sun deck, Ocean Club pairs water views (rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows make a water-view upgrade worthwhile) with a lively poolside scene; the rocky shoreline limits swimming but soft-sand walks are lovely. The main stretch of Condado Beach is about a five-minute walk away and offers affordable chair-and-umbrella service (grab a towel from the friendly hotel staff first). Evenings can be playful—watch the sunset from the al fresco beachside terrace at Social restaurant while poolside guests sip piña coladas and a DJ keeps a steady beat—giving the place an Ibiza-like white-party vibe that, according to the write-up, works." - Jessica Chapel
