Recent Hilton Golf Casino Review: "I only stayed two nights, but I was sooo comfortable with this hotel. Everything was mint clean, hotel service and friendliness of staff was number one priority. Check-in and check-out was super fast...Bell staff were very efficient, view from balcony to the pool was very pretty, beach vollyball court, basketball court, playground, all restaurants met  our needs. We were a group of eight with mostly teenage kids and everybody was very pleased. Did not use the casino, but it was full all the time. Breakfast buffet was incredible, all you can eat with a great variety (you should buy the breakfast package if you buy online through a travel website, that way you may get it for as low as $10 per adult..kids eat free), otherwise a little pricey ($19)..Food and drinks are pricey (..and delicious too!!), if you're on a budget, then I suggest eat outside the hotel. Self parking is about $8 per day, but you cannot park outside the hotel and walk..it's too far. The City of Ponce (and Ponce Hilton) does not have a nice beach...if you're looking for an amazing turquoise water beach Ponce is not the place, in that case, go to La Guancha and rent a boat for snorkeling or a day at Caja de Muerto Island off Ponce..The Hilton staff will give you all the info you need...Go to the main square, the old fire house..eat at El Archipielago", right in front of the old fire house, try an ice cream from the parlor right in fron of the main square, take the trolley to the main attractions ($2 p.p., buy the ticket in the morning as the go down fast and close early), visit the Castillo Serralles museum...the view from there is breathtaking and the gardens are gorgeous, right above that is Cruceta El vijia, a lookout tower, but I recommend Castillo Serralles for better pictures of the city, since the glass from the windows of Cruceta El Vijia are foggy and your pictures will come out foggy too, but at this lookout you will also enjoy the Japanese garden which is small but pretty too...There are a"

    • A short guide to Ponce

    Puerto Rico’s second largest city and busiest shipping port, Ponce’s center dates from the late 17th century. Steeped in neoclassical architecture, the city is also known as the “pearl of the south.” The Ponce Museum of Art houses the most extensive art collection in the Caribbean. An ancient nearby cemetery is perhaps the most important archaeological site in the West Indies.
