Traveled to visit my wife who was on business. Property has a great location. Staff was very helpful when I needed them. The property is a little dated but is very clean. Very quiet at night. If you are used to some of the larger Carribean resorts this is not the property for you. If you are looking for a... More

This property is in need of some serious TLB and renovation. While the lobby has a bit more charm than the actual rooms, it isn't really saying much. The rooms are too small, dated and smell. The cards to swipe into rooms and the pool area don't function half the time. The only real asset ESJ has going for it,... More

ESJ Towers was built in the mid-1970’s and the décor has not been updated since. It’s not bad but it is a little quirky and very quiet. We stayed on a timeshare exchange for one week in a one bedroom. The lobby is dim and mostly deserted. They have a card room and a billiard room that are nearly always... More

I have to say the staff for the most part over all is poor but in the Casino just down right rude. If your not a local person they would rather you not be there. With that said the restaurant's are fantastic but I will never go back because the attitude of the people is they don't like you .. More

We stayed at the ESJ Towers in February of 2009 with our two children through our timeshare. It was nice, affordable and within walking distance to restaurants and the market to get food for the kitchen that we had in our room. We had an ocean view room which was very nice but the planes taking off nearby took some... More

Trust me, I've stayed in some $400.00 and up a night hotels and had no expectations like that upon comming here, but lets just say the best thing this place has going on is it's location. The ESJ Towers is a condo that literally sits in the shadow, or on the same property as the larger El San Juan Casino... More

The pictures on ESJ Tower web-sites are deceptive. The one bedroom is very old as is the entire place; however the pool area is very nice. Security is annoying at times, and the place is dreary and uneventful. The restaurant is basically some body’s independent contract with below average food at high captive costs. You pay for everything (internet, telephone... More

We loved the super easy beach access from esj towers. The lobby looks shady but the 2 bed 2 bath condo we stayed was nice. The restaurant and bar are also shady and terrible food. Good place to stay if you just want to chill out on the beach. I am going to try the condado area next time for... More

We stayed at ESJ from December 24-29. This was our 3rd stay at ESJ Towers. I must say this is one of our favorite places to stay in the Caribbean. You cannot go wrong with staying at this place, especially when considering the cost of other places in Isla Verde that are located directly on the beach. Though you are... More

This was once a wonderful resort. Now it is horrible. It is dark, dirty and worn down. Most of the staff at the front desk are extremely rude. I would not recommend staying here. More
