I booked this two-day stay as a getaway for my wife, myself and my girls aged 13 and 9. The short drive up from Hwy 2 took us to a nice-looking property on the top of a hill overlooking the Caribbean Sea, about half a mile away, and the view of Ponce bay and the city to the west was... More

We enjoyed our stay here, the room was clean and the service was friendly. The pool was cleaned twice a day whether anyone used it or not! If you are working or exploring Ponce this is a great place to sleep at night. More

While we found the city to be a "dud"...it was dead after 5:00 p.m., the Holiday Inn Ponce is an okay place to stay. The hotel is located just west of the city on a hill overlooking a lagoon and in the distance, the Caribbean. The rooms are standard holiday inn, nothing more and nothing less. The pool was quite...

It's a small place as casino resorts go. In this case, small isn't necessarily beautiful. The hotel is located on top of a small hill with a good view of the ocean. The room was typical Holiday Inn: adequate. The same can be said about the food. While I am fine with a room that is adequate, my expectations in... More

OK, I already knew that this hotel is far from the beaches, but contrary to other reviewers' opinions the hotel didn't make up for it neither in service nor in views from the room. My check-in experience was mediocre at best. I arrived late at night and was not given a password for the wifi. When I called reception, there... More

We just returned from a cruise and extended stay in Puerto Rico where we visited the city of Ponce. The Holiday Inn & Casino in Ponce is located on a hill overlooking the ocean and near the main highway. The rooms are typical for a Holiday Inn, although all have a little balcony outside a sliding glass door, rather than... More

This Holiday Inn was about what you would expect from a Holiday Inn. There is a lot of local traffic due to the casino. The room was clean and neat. Evidently, there was no complimentary continental breakfast, and it was a bit pricey for the fare. The hamburgers are a better bargain if you decide to eat dinner there. All... More

Wish we had spent more time in Ponce to explore the area. Hotel is conveniently located but being in downtown Ponce might have been more fun. Front desk staff was helpful in suggesting a sunset spot. Room was clean and fresh. More

We checked in Saturday afternoon. The desk clerk was very helpfull. She made us feel like we're valued guests. Several times throughout our stay she helped us with restaurant suggestions as well as things to do in the area. She was happy to take all the time we needed, not once making us feel rushed. We booked a junior suite.... More
