It’s great to be back at the Ritz Carlton San Juan. I had the opportunity to go back to Puerto Rico and booked a regular rate under $200. I have been to this hotel a number of times but, this time it was a little different. This time, I had the Ritz Carlton credit card and wanted to use one of my suite upgrades from the credit card but, then I remembered that you have to have booked a rack rate to use the upgrade certs. Since the rack rate was much higher then my negotiated rate, I decided to take my chances with an upgrade at check in. Sure enough, I was upgraded to ocean front room!
The thing that I like best about this hotel is the small intimate casino and I also love BLT restaurant. I ordered a nice steak dinner with onion rings at BLT Steak and then hit up the casino. I had the early flight out the next morning, so I called it an early night and took a taxi (super close) to the airport the next morning.

The living area was extended in this room making it much bigger then the normal rooms and it had a great view.

Bottom Line
The Ritz Carlton San Juan is a winner in my book. I pretty much book it whenever I go to Puerto Rico. I like the classic feel of the hotel and the restaurants and casino are fantastic. This was another good trip!

Timing for this write up could not be better for me. I was under the same dilemma. Use the CC rates or cheaper rate. I am curious to know how you were able to get the pricing below $200.
