Most review forms won’t allow anywhere near 8,000 words to be effective, but if you want a detailed, professional complaint that fills a large portion of the available space, you could write: My family and I booked this stay to celebrate a very special occasion, our anniversary, and unfortunately it turned into one of the most disappointing hotel experiences we have ever had. We chose this property expecting a relaxing and enjoyable experience, but from the moment we entered our room there were significant issues that were never properly addressed. The most immediate problem was a strong and unpleasant odor in our room. The smell was noticeable as soon as we walked in and made the room uncomfortable to stay in. We reported the issue multiple times during our stay, hoping that someone would investigate, move us to another room, or provide some sort of solution. Instead, we were told on three separate occasions that the smell was “normal” for that room. Being told repeatedly that an obvious and unpleasant odor was normal was frustrating and dismissive. Regardless of the cause, guests should not be expected to accept a room with a persistent bad smell, especially after bringing it to the staff’s attention multiple times. What made the situation even more disappointing was the lack of empathy and customer service shown when we expressed our concerns. Rather than feeling like valued guests, we felt as though our concerns were being brushed aside. A simple acknowledgment of the issue, an inspection, or an attempt to relocate us would have gone a long way. Instead, we were left feeling that our comfort and satisfaction were not a priority. Another issue involved my brother, who traveled a considerable distance to visit us. Prior to his arrival, I took the proper steps to add him to the room reservation. Despite this, he was still denied access. This created confusion, frustration, and unnecessary stress for everyone involved. We spent valuable time during our trip trying to resolve a situation that should never have happened in the first place. It was particularly upsetting because family was a major part of why we chose to travel and celebrate together. After he made the effort and expense of traveling, the lack of accommodation and flexibility from the property was extremely disappointing. Unfortunately, the problems did not stop there. During our stay, we ate at the on-site dining facility. Shortly afterward, my wife became ill with symptoms consistent with food poisoning. While it is impossible for us to know with absolute certainty what caused her illness, the timing raised serious concerns regarding the food served on the property. Watching my wife spend part of what should have been a memorable anniversary trip feeling sick was upsetting and completely changed the experience we had hoped to enjoy together. The combination of these issues created a cascading effect throughout our stay. Instead of enjoying our anniversary, we spent our time dealing with an unpleasant room, attempting to resolve access issues for a family member, and caring for my wife while she was unwell. What should have been a happy and memorable celebration became a stressful and frustrating experience. I understand that every hotel can experience occasional issues. What often separates a good property from a bad one is how those issues are handled. Had the staff taken our concerns seriously, shown empathy, and worked toward solutions, this review might have been very different. Unfortunately, our experience left us feeling unheard and unimportant. We invested our time, money, and expectations into this trip because it was a special occasion. Instead of creating positive memories, we left disappointed by the accommodations, dissatisfied with the customer service, and concerned about the dining experience. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and reviews the handling of guest complaints, room conditions, reservation procedures, and food quality standards. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend this property to others celebrating important occasions, traveling with family, or expecting attentive customer service. There are many places where guests feel welcomed, valued, and cared for. Sadly, this was not one of them. Our anniversary deserved better, and so do future guests.

Dear Safiir S., Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent stay at Fairmont El San Juan Hotel. We sincerely regret to learn that your experience did not meet your expectations, particularly during such a special occasion as your anniversary. We understand the importance of a pleasant atmosphere and will address your concerns regarding the odor in your room with our housekeeping team to ensure that all accommodations are welcoming and comfortable. Additionally, we apologize for the inconvenience related to your brother's access to the reservation and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. It is always our intention to facilitate a seamless experience for our guests and their families. Regarding your wife’s illness, we take all dining feedback seriously and will review our food quality standards to ensure the safety and satisfaction of every guest. We value your insights and will utilize them to enhance our service moving forward. Thank you again for your comments, and we hope you will consider giving us another opportunity to provide you with the experience you deserve in the future. Warm regards, Fairmont El San Juan Hotel

Spectacular hotel. My room was spacious well stocked with bathroom supplies,full refrigerator and a spectacular view of the ocean. The bedroom cleaning service was immaculate. Breakfast was a luxurious display excellence. The Reservation staff, professionals who knew how to take care of room reservations, pricing, and all amenities. Each morning the pool is vacuumed to make sure extraneous items were left not in the water. The beach staff carefully put up umbrellas, lounges with several sets of towels.The food service for the beach was fast and the food was delivered hot. All of the bars serve drinks that were carefully made. Loved my experience and have booked my next 2 trips.
