This trip had the chance to be a disaster but Otium took all the necessary steps to make sure my wife and I had an enjoyable stay. We were originally booked to stay in Old Town San Juan, but due to a power outage, we needed to be rebooked at another one of their facilities. We learned this mid-flight to San Juan, which made us nervous. By the time we had our luggage, Otium had us booked at one of their locations in Condado, still very much in the heart of San Juan. When we arrived we were greeted by staff who were expecting us. Checking took no time and our room was spacious, clean, and quiet. The facility was fun - I highly recommend the hotel bar. The bartender was very friendly and gave us great recommendations. We loved out time here and I recommend anyone traveling to San Juan to consider staying here.
