Hotel is wonderful. Had Thanksgiving dinner in the Meat Market. Beautiful restaurant with great ambiance. We ordered turkey because it was our Thanksgiving dinner. Drinks and bread came our fairly quickly. However, then they must have forgotten us. After almost an hour I had to ask where our dinner was? They did Apologized and gave us two complimentary glasses of wine. A satisfactory gester and we looked forward to our Thanksgiving dinner. The vegetables and gravy were wonderful as was the bread. The turkey, our main reason for dining there, was dry and salty. Worse turkey we've ever had! Became they were so apologetic it was now late and I didn't have the heart to send it back. It is primarily a steak house and we saw a few beautiful steaks. Just don"t order turkey.

We booked 2 rooms and were extremely excited until we arrived. Not only was the check in process painfully slow, they stated they had an issue with one of the rooms we reserved and placed us in another room the first night; we had to switch over on day two. The second room had substantial water damage that hadn’t been repaired. Breakfast was great! Probably one of the best things of our stay and everything was close by.

We were lucky to have been upgrades to a very nice (huge) villa, at no extra charge. Rooms were clean for the most part. Location on the beach was AMAZING!!! And they had huge lawn chairs and umbrellas available right on the water. Perfect beach front to enjoy the ocean! Food and drinks are very spendy. But there are good, fair priced meal options within walking distance. Beautiful resort overall!

We booked a king room and were given a queen which was pretty difficult as my husband is over 6ft and was very small end. The room had a lot of issues safe broken patio door didn’t lock so lots of small bugs in room. First night an alarm went off in the fridge at 5am so we had to unplug tried calling reception to assist no answer went to the signature experience and they did sort it out besides the king bed issue - staff overall very friendly. Nice hotel and good location

Staff was great! They accidently overbooked our villa but managed to get us an upgrade and wsived the resort fees for the inconvenience. House keeping came at least 3 times a day to refresh towels, leave waters and make the beds. The resort gives you two reusable water bottles and since we stayed in the villa we got a tote bag, waterproof phone pouch and sunglasses. Tons of amenitites, anf very family friendly. We wished we had stayed longer. We will be back!

Has everything a dream resort could want. Great pool area, fantastic beach & excellent wait staff in the pool area. Meat Market steak house served one of the best steaks I have ever eaten. Might be out of some people’s budget, but if you can afford it, it’s worth it. Added bonus, 5 minutes from the airport.

The booking is a little confusing when choosing a pool Villa. You don’t get a Villa rather just a bigger room with a pool view. So not really what I expected. The manager did a decent job in taking away the resort fee. But I could of saved way more money by just booking the same room without the balcony. Everything else was amazing.

I specifically purchase a villa room and confirmed prior to arriving to the resort. Upon arrival to the hotel, the front desk indicated they no longer had the room available. The room they had was available was in totally different part of the hotel, they upgraded the standard room to a suite as a courtesy, however the rate I paid for the villa services and room does not even compare. Confirming the room accommodations before my arrival is a general routine for me.

My kids and I loved spending our Christmas Vacation here. We spent 1/2 of our stay in Carolina/Isla Verde PR at the Fairmount Pool Villias and the other 1/2 closer to Old SJ at a newer hotel. We enjoyed the Fairmount the best! Would recommend to all!

I truly had a spectacular time at the Fairmont. The hotel is beautiful and the grounds are vast and well kept. There are several pools including one with a swim up bar. The beach is gorgeous. I like to exercise and walked the pristine beach every morning. I am not good with distances but it must be a mile and a half. There are several restaurants all of which are very good. I loved Cana with authentic dishes and outdoor seating. (I am still very Covid conscious and avoid indoor dining as much as possible,) There is a coffee bar with great coffee and pastries; an excellent health club with several floors including open air roof access with a heavy bag and some other equipment. The beach has a jet ski rental with a great staff that appears to take safety very seriously. I loved the mellow vibe, been home for several days and am still relaxed. I do want to add this. I stayed in one of the Villas which had been recently renovated and had a beautiful view. However we traveled with another group who stayed in the Tower. They said their room needed an update and experienced minor inconveniences. If you are the type who only use the room to sleep then this may not matter. Additionally the chairs around the pools tend to fill up quickly by some dropping towels before the sun rises…but the staff is very attentive and will find you a spot. Finally a heartfelt thank you to Gabriel Rivera and Dana both of whom exemplify fantastic customer service. You made our stay so memorable.

We got a pool villa and a patio room. The pool villa was ready for us at 8:45 pm. Check-in should have been at 4:00 fortunately we had a second room which was given to us at 5:30. The patio room was on the 3rd floor and it was more like an alley. Not very attractive patio. Perhaps good for someone with a pet or a smoker. Not impressed. My pool villa was very expensive to lack in cleaningess Simply not impressed with rooms. Amenities such as pool and the isla verde beach did not disappoint. Also we ate at Meat market there in the hotel and there was a hair in our mash potatoes. Advised the waiter and he took them and brought another… sadly it had a hair in it as well. Not sure how they aren’t paying attention to service. My bill was $650.00 for 5 people and they took over an hour to get food on our table. Simply not impressed. The breakfast at Cana was excellent. I had the banana pancakes with macadamians and bananas. So good. The service was excellent. Also excellent were the service/waiters out by the beach. They were exceptional. Very Impressive day by the beach. The pools are very clean. Over all a great experience outdoors. The casino is small but nice. Night ambience excellent in the main lobby.

I enjoyed the property and amenities it was plenty to do. Going to the beach was easy with the help of staff with umbrellas and chairs included. Could not really enjoy the patio because of cat issues sitting and feces on the terrace. A big issue was washcloths our room did not have them and we were in the ocean villa and it took forever every day to get washcloths. This should be mandatory and regular to have washcloths. When requested the excuse was it had to come from another facility it was annoying to have that experience for a 5 star hotel so called.The parking lot was small at one point it was to many people and could not find a space.

The hotel is old and shabby. My ocean villa smelled like the sewer. If you got to the beach in the afternoon,they were out of umbrellas and even chairs. Definitely not even close to what I have come to expect from a Fairmount.

Has the potential to be a 5 star. Needs to be better managed. What’s not 5 star about this resort: If you arrive late expect to take your own bags to your villa, or room. The pool ran out of towels by 10 am and told us they didn’t know when they would get more. The pix of the villa are better than in person, even my 10 year old seemed stunned at the carpeting, sticking doors, sticking toilet flusher, and airplane noise. The cabanas can only be reserved on Open table and you cannot choose on the app or when you arrive, even when you see empty ones. We got a LUX cabana fist. - the only 3 are in a high traffic area, ours had a broken lounge chair and the TV had only a few channels. The pool speakers are next to you so expect to hear a lot of noise. We then got a pool/beach cabana. Same thing with choosing one. these have no side protection. We roasted as the sun began to set and gave up on it and sat in regular chairs. Again the speakers were so loud you feel like your at a club. It’s not relaxing. The service was poor everywhere. My wife and I understand how hard it is to get help so we overlooked our frozen drinks that arrived not frozen, food that arrived cold, and room that didn’t have a turndown service, a restock of the used coffee cups, or soap. In a nutshell this property has a lot, but needs better leadership. It’s more like a place for singles who just don’t care but its not a place for families.

PROS: The pool / beach area is great. CONS: Room areas could use some updating, the service is snooty, and food/drinks are way overpriced. This is a great hotel for folks that want to be sheltered from anything too Puerto Rican.
