Ciqala Suites is Great place, People and Food!

Ciqala Suites

I researched places to stay for the last night of our honeymoon and found Ciqala Suites did not disappoint! We had a rental car and made use of the free and secure parking garage. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the friendly Glen. (Again, the Puerto Rican hospitality is out of this world!)

We stayed in a 1 bedroom suite in the penthouse, which had lovely furnishings and 2 swans made of towels waiting for us on the bed - a nice touch! I enjoyed the soft linens and rug. In fact, I joked to my husband that instead of exploring San Juan, I was just going to spend my night walking barefoot on the soft area rug. The room was spacious, elegant, and quiet. The mini-fridge was full of affordable goodies. The front desk was also staffed with a friendly employee 24 hrs/day. An early morning flight prevented us from enjoying the "american breakfast" but we did grab some nice pastries from the buffet.

We enjoyed our stay at the Ciqala Suites for an entire week this past June. The hospitality of the staff was remarkable, the complimentary breakfast prepared by the hotel chef was hearty and delicious and the hotel room was spacious and comfortable. The complimentary beach arrangements (shuttle/chairs/umbrellas) were an added bonus. In walking distance to the local bars, marina and even old San Juan (about an hour walk) Ciqala suites made our first experience in San Juan a memorable one.

Ciquala, an excellent launching pad to explore Old San Juan, had very attentive staff who called us a cab ($15) and we were off to explore. 

In summary, Ciqala was the perfect place to spend the last night of our honeymoon due to its beautiful accommodations, excellent service, free secure parking garage and superb location.
