This beachfront hotel provides direct access to water sports and lush natural surroundings.

Zen Spa Brisas offers a variety of treatments focused on wellness, including massages, body wraps, and facials. Guests can unwind in relaxation lounges, saunas, and steam rooms. The lagoon-style swimming pool provides a tranquil space to swim and enjoy delicious cocktails from the swim-up bar.

The Royal Sonesta San Juan includes 24,000 square feet of flexible meeting space, making it suitable for events of various sizes. The hotel is a Healthcare Meeting Compliance Certificate Verified Venue (HMCC-VV), ensuring a suitable environment for healthcare meetings.

“Located directly on Isla Verde Beach, this hotel proposes a desirable coastal escape; the swim-up bar in the lagoon-style pool is a nice touch. Meeting and event spaces total 24,000 square feet, while the full-service spa and proximity to the airport add to the appeal for business and leisure travelers alike. I think it's a balanced option for those seeking convenience and recreation.”
