Colina Mar

“Overall we had a fun and relaxing stay at Colina Mar. The hotel is situated high up on the mountainside and offers a stellar, breathtaking view over the entire Puerto Rico city, the mountains and the ocean. The hotel complex is sort-of "outside" where you feel like you're walking up and down the cliffside, which is neat. The hotel is fairly old fashioned, basic, but fine. The room had good amenities and a functioning kitchen. Nice balcony with city/ocean view. Bed was fine, although sorely needs blackout curtains. When the sun rises, it's as if a flood light is turned on. TV worked okay although sometimes reception was poor, no big deal. There's a neat little supermarket on the hotel grounds, which is handy for basics, else I recommend going to the Europe Center 5 minutes away and shop at Hiper Dino. I tried the breakfast once and it was pretty mediocre, didn't eat there since. My mother in law ate at their dinner restaurant once and reported it was awful. We had some decent sandwiches at the pool snack bar and very good smoothies for reasonable prices. Otherwise we went to eat instead. The pool area was both good and bad. Many recliners, and many different areas (two pools) and smaller quiet platforms further down the hotel grounds for those who prefer peace and quiet. At the main hotel area, be warned that they play LOUD pop music all evening. They also often have a guy yelling every hour for people to come play water polo, billiards, darts or whatever, and they even had a runway fashion sale at some point with music and speak. If you hate that, simply move to the secondary pool area and it will be quiet. We had some bouts of heavy rain where the rain came in under the main door to our room, which was a bit of a mess. We had to mop it up and use towels and sandals to get around without getting wet feet. The cleaning staff was helpful. The location is great, just a few minutes walk from the Europe Center, and amazing view. A taxi will take you to the central big Center in the middle of town in 10 minutes for about 6-7 Euro.”

“Been on a cheeky week away,, 2 adults & 2 kids. Had a great stay here, dated, no air conditioning & the week had was warm on a night, but clean and food was lovely with plenty choice, down side was the drinks on an all inclusive cocktails and snacks bar was to pay for,, drinks are 11-11 & then pay till 1. Little on site shop was great plenty in & very reasonable in price..lady was very helpful & happy. Cleaners are great & very helpful too. Harvey the entertainer was a smash hit with the kids nothing was a bother from balloon making, killer darts, killer pool & water polo & even the bingo on a night time for everyone even cats & dogs. Only thing as football fans we wished the football was on,, rather then going to the Europa centre to watch it... Europa was a nice change for a drink & food, also go to both beaches (one has a sea inflatable for a charge, adults & kids) there's a lovely coastal walk from one to the other... Then taxis back up about 6-7 euros very worth it !! Enjoy your stay depending on your holiday, but we thought it was great for us. Thanks to all the staff.”
