El Greco Apartments

well this was by far the best holiday i have ever been on. everything was perfect about the hotel. me and my friend were only 16 when we went but we always felt safe and looked after. as soon as we arrived at the hotel we realised that the staff were very friendly and they always stopped to speak to us and see how we were doing. we didnt pay a lot for the holiday so we were very impressed when we saw the apartments. everything was perfect and very clean. everything that we needed was there and the rooms were imaculate and very big. our apartment looked over the pool, which was always clean although a bit cold!! the bar staff were very friendly and stayed on late sometimes to chat! everything was always clean around the pool and there was always room for a sunbed. the weather was late 20s everyday which is good for december. we went out every night to the centre which was reasonably priced and every one was really friendly!! we're going back in 4 weeks and are very excited!!!

An excellent holiday!
Weather, location (sea views!), eating venues (Oscars, Arizona- fab curry, etc), fabulous cocktails at Wig Wam and Charliez
Very cosmopoliton, although feel that air conditioning/ceiling fans would make it that extra special.
Would definatley recommend this venue to all.
Thanks to the fantastic room service.
Thanks to the "El Greco"

Excellently situated. The room for 5 is terrible. A small 7x8 room with a double bed in it, meant for a single bed. Light switch and plug in between pillows. A nice size twin room and a put you up in the lounge. No air conditioning, told there was, cost 30 euros to hire a fan for 2 weeks. Its 150 euros deposit on the room on arrival, had no probs getting it back. Its clean, new towels every day. Harbour lights do a great sunday roast and a quiz every night. Once we got over the shock, we enjoyed ourselves and would go to the resort again. The rep was useless, listened but was of no help at all.

Just returned from a week self catering holiday at El Greco apartments. We booked this holiday as a late deal 2 weeks prior to departure date, we felt a little apprehensive as previos holidays have been alot more exclusive (St Lucia, Maldives) However, i can honestly say hand on heart i was pleasantly surprised by El Greco apartments. It is located 10meters from the beach, good sized rooms with all the facilities you'll need if your self catering, Pool was big, plenty of sun loungers and parasols. Plenty of bars and restaurants located around the apartments, it was definately the best location wise. Weather was amazing 33-38 degrees all week, not one drop of rain. All staff are friendly and can speak English, lots of trips to do if you fancy getting out and about. VIP SUPERCAT Cruise was fantastic, not really for kids.(However, no champagne reception as advertised by rep!! little disappointing) Great holiday would definately consider returning to Puerto Rico in the future.

I have just returned back from the El Greco and it was AMAZING! Myself and my partner took our 2 year old and the El Greco has got to be the best situated in Puerto Rico (LOADS of hills ~not good with a buggy!) as its situated on the road straight across from the beach. Agree with the comment from Mr Baker the ANfi timeshare people are a NIGHTMARE! mithering you, but they got the message after a couple of days.
Only thing i would say is avoid the local restaraunts on a regular basis if you eat out alot at night, that are close to El Greco, ~fabulous food but very expensive. We only found out that the town centre was literally a 10 minute walk away at begining of our 2nd week and what a difference in food prices (70+ Euros near El Greco and 26Euros in town for 2 adults, a child and a bottle of wine! ~ and v v nice food ~ would recommend CAFE CENTRAL, english owned and they do the most amazing Lasagne)
El Greco is 11/10 for cleanliness, they really do scrub your room and do all your washing up! ! Fresh towels and sheets everyday. The pool is beautiful and has a shallow part about 6 inch deep all the way round for the little ones.
Overall the best accomodation I have stayed at, and having stayed at 5* resorts around the world i would highly recommend the El Greco.

Just returned from holiday and can honestly say what a great place. Perfectly situated in the lovely puerto rico harbour, 10 metres from the beach, and lots to do. Plenty of bars and restaraunts are near-by, most of them very reasonably priced, serving great food, with even better service!! The apartments themselves were kept meticulously clean, with the maid even doing the washing up!! Getting out and about on the island I would reccommend hiring a car as the excursions offered by first choice were very pricey. We saved a lot by cutting out the middle man, and had more fun to boot. The only gripe I would have are the P.R's in the main shopping area. Very pushy. And avoid the Anfi reps like the plague, unless you like very expensive timeshares! Overall though, I would thoroughly reccommend the El Greco for location and value. 9/10.

best place i have ever stayed. room was cleaned every day and even done the washing up. .... perfect location could only be closer to the beach if ya were on it......

We’ve been going to the El Greco apts for 2 years now. Excellent location couldn't be any closer to the beach. Brilliant night life and shops close by.
My daughters been going to the Vistamar apts now for 2 years (which is next door to the el Greco) and she thinks the same . However there's not a lot of things for young children to do apart from in the main shopping centre e.g. trampolines, golf, go carts, tennis.

I total loved the apartments, there was a restaurant joined to the hotel and the food was fantastic, the cleaners were brilliant and everything about it was good! quiet at night, but 5 minute walk up the road there's a Euro centre with restaurants, shops, bars and clubs! Shops just next door to the hotel. But the only thing that let it down was First Choice, they didn't tell us anything, were never around and always after your money, big let down!!!

This was the third time we had stayed at this resort, the hotel is really clean and the staff very friendly, only down side is that you have to pay 100 Euros deposit on check in which we weren’t aware of the 1st time we stayed.
However this wasn’t a problem the 2nd and 3rd time but it was for others who were checking in. The restaurant onsite is more pricey then the places along the beach front, however it is worth it, the food is great and crepes are cooked in front of you which is brill to watch.
The staff are fantastic. Prices vary so look for the best deal, get to the pool early to get the best spot and enjoy the lazy atmosphere.
