    Started off a little rocky as the reservation was a late one so there was no host or server at the time; but the manager and bartender went above and beyond to ensure a great experience. Additionally, the sushi was fantastic. Definitely would come back.

    Server took forever. But the drinks were amazing. First band was pleasant. Second one a hell. They should just continue to attract the right people and not the old men literally chasing married women. Thank God my friends are cool but it felt awkward.

    Since we went to The Lobby to dance we didn't have dinner there, just some French Fries later which were OK but not worth the $14 price. The drinks were good but way too expensive, although understandably so to help pay for the live music. The El San Juan Hotel's lobby is beautiful and the ambience is great. The music bands were very good although we would have preferred that the Latin music had started before midnight. After the danceable music began, we had a lot of fun!

    An evening at the San Juan is always memorable and euphoric, filled with laughter, the sounds of great music, and sightings of luxury and opulence. The ultimate in people watching. We ate at Caña, where we were served by Felix, a consummate professional and then sat at the bar accross from the sushi bar where Keith and Charlene treated us like royalty. El San Juan and all its professional staff will keep you coming back for more!

    I always tip 20% even if the service is below average , if it’s good I tip more However some of the staff here especially on the pool and the breakfast area are rude and ask for tips or bring up the tips, when they do that I leave a smaller tip or no tip - Guess what they did ? THEY EDITED THE TIP ON MY BILL

    Some other reviews suggested food can be slow to arrive but we had no issues. They were out of a couple of menu items but what we got was tasty. Our server, Lupe, was great. There was an event happening/being set up so that was fun to watch. It's a hotel bar at the Fairmont no less, so not cheap, but definitely convenient at the end of a big vacation day.
