Back to Holiday Inn Ponce & Tropical Casino Mercedita Jewel ~ a great find. The hotel was very family-friendly, it was very clean and modern. This H.J. has a restaurant with the best tasting burgers ever! It is centrally located to many points of interest, the pool remains open until 10 pm and it is maintained constantly so it is very clean. The people at the front desk at friendly and very knowledgeable, the daily cleaning service was wonderful. This place is not glamourous or glitzy but was within our family budget, a great find!!
Reviewed by: A Yahoo! Contributor from on Apr 04 2005 good price and great service The hotel was very clean and the desk was very helpful, but the location is not great if you want to be near the beach. You definitely need to have a car and the closest beaches are probably 30-40 minutes away. The pool area was nice and seemed clean, but the air smelled around the hotel like fertilizer or vomit a few nights while we were staying there. We never found out what was causing the smell, but we did smell it outside the hotel as well, so it was probably in the air, not a fault of the hotel. There was also a little gym as well, which was nice to have, but it didn't have hardly any equipment.
