Perched on a hillside overlooking the Caribbean Sea, the mid-range Holiday Inn Ponce & Tropical Casino has stunning sunset views. The hotel is situated on Highway 2, leading to both Mercedita Airport and the city of Ponce, making it ideal for business and leisure travelers. The 116 rooms are spacious and reasonably modern, and many have balconies with spectacular views of the Caribbean. With a large pool terrace, 24-hour casino, bar with live music, and restaurant serving breakfast and dinner, the hotel ticks plenty of boxes. Unfortunately, its location makes it difficult to walk to any nearby attractions. For travelers looking to be closer to the city, check out Ponce Plaza Hotel and Casino for many of the same amenities at consistently lower rates.

The 120-rooms are spacious, but dated, and feature amenities like flat-screen TVs, coffeemakers, and high-power air-conditioners. La Perla Restaurant serves a daily breakfast, and traditional Puerto Rican fare for lunch and dinners on select days. Despite a few flaws, there are some nice extras, like a spacious outdoor pool deck with a bar, a game room, ample free parking, and a small business center. Unfortunately the location outside of downtown Ponce means there isn’t much within walking distance. For travelers who want more action, consider Ponce Plaza Hotel and Casino, which has similar amenities and slightly more modern style at a similar price.

This upper-middle-range, family-friendly chain hotel has 255 rooms and suites and a location near the hub of Ponce -- Puerto Rico's second largest city. The property boasts meeting facilities, an attached 27-hole golf course, and tons of activities to keep adults and young 'uns entertained. The small beach has dark, somewhat rocky sand and is not the highlight here, but most are happy to take advantage of the outdoor pool complex with cushy daybeds, fountains, slides, and swimming areas for both kids and adults. Dining options include pizza, sushi, and the modern, wine-focused La Cava restaurant. All rooms have bright, contemporary decor, balconies or patios, and free Wi-Fi.

Located just off Ponce’s main historic plaza, the historic three-pearl Hotel Melia is within an easy walk of the sights, restaurants, and bars all around. Unfortunately, the 70 rooms are a mixed bag. They range from tiny and dated to spacious and modestly more modern, and some exterior rooms have small balconies overlooking the streets, though noise can be an issue. The open-air Mocha Coffee Bar and Bistro serves Italian and French influenced fare for breakfast and lunch, while the rooftop Panorama Sky Lounge is a popular spot offering eclectic international menus. The hotel also has a small, private pool and large events spaces. For travelers who prefer a more contemporary hotel, consider the Ponce Plaza Hotel, which has trendy dining, a fitness center, and nicer pool at similar rates.

The 20-room Hotel Belgica is a charming value option just off of Ponce's central plaza, amid plenty of cafes, shops, and restaurants. This historic hotel has quaint vintage rooms -- some with balconies -- that feature high ceilings, flat-screen TVs, and air-conditioning. There's a spacious terrace overlooking the city of Ponce, a small computer station, and plenty of indoor common areas for socializing. A simple and free breakfast of coffee, toast, and muffins is offered each morning, but other on-site features are scarce and free Wi-Fi can be spotty. The location is ideal for those who want to explore Ponce’s picturesque historic district, but those looking for more to do on-site should consider the nearby Ponce Plaza Hotel and Casino -- it’s a more sophisticated (and pricier) option.

The historic three-and-a-half-pearl Ponce Plaza Hotel & Casino is a mostly modern boutique hotel that's within walking distance of Ponce’s restaurants and shops. Ranging in size, the 69 rooms are a mix of generic and more stylish modern units, and many even have small balconies overlooking the streets of Ponce. The on-site restaurant, Lola’s Eclectic Cuisine, is a popular foodie destination, while Melao Coffee Shop serves a light fare for breakfast and lunch. With a small pool, fitness center, casino, and close proximity to City Hall, Ponce Plaza Hotel is an ideal pick for leisure travelers and business travelers. Want something a little quieter? Holiday Inn Ponce and Tropical Casino is closer to the sea, but rates are generally higher.
