I loved the history connected with the building. Loved the look of the place ( although the rooms are more modern than pictured in the older pre hurricaine photos) - I loved how close it was to walk to all the major old san juan sites... I would have liked a microwave in room or at end of hall or coffee area; the bathroom could have been a bit larger ( shower was nice but very narrow!) and a continental bkfst would have been better than the wine and cheese evening thing for us, because we never got back in time to be there between 5 and 6; however bagels or pastries and tea and coffee in the morning would have been wonderful!!! We really did enjoy our stay at el convento and would come back if we can afford it again some day.For us it was a splurge for my 60th birthday trip . They gave us a bottle of wine in the room when we checked in ( but no bottle opener for the cork --- my husband whittled it out with his pen!!!) PS the pool was nice too although sometimes in the evening there were no towels. One night is was closed during rain. The property is beautiful and historic. Could see the bay from our room. I loved old San Juan.
