Radisson Ambassador Plaza Hotel & Casino

Radisson Ambassador attracts adult guests more interested in casino action, shopping, dining, and sightseeing than in sun-and-sand holidays. It's a favorite layover spot for pre- and post-cruise passengers arriving at and departing from San Juan's cruise-ship piers about 2 miles away.

Located atop the hotel's roof, a 45-by-22-foot pool, four-person spa tub, and sundeck provide guests with high-altitude sunbathing and swimming opportunities. Also on the rooftop is a small air-conditioned fitness center equipped with cardio and weight machines.

Boogie boards can be rented on Condado Beach, which is 1 block from the hotel. The recreational activities listed below are available near the hotel; fees may apply.

The hotel's 12,000-square-foot casino features 484 slot machines along with Caribbean stud poker, blackjack, roulette, and craps. Within the casino is the Cabaret Lounge, which features live music nightly. A business center includes two computer stations with Internet connections (fees charged).

Plaza Las Americas, billed as the Caribbean's largest shopping mall, is just 4 miles from the hotel.
