CAR RENTALSWe can assist you with a rental car, however, since overnight parking charges are so expensive at the hotel we do not suggest you keep a car for your entire stay.

LUGGAGEWith airport anxieties and lots of families traveling this time of year we strongly recommend shipping your luggage to the hotel. This will eliminate a lot of frustration and truly ease your travel experience. Often times shipping bags is even cheaper than paying for airline baggage fees. The W will store your bags and have them delivered to your room.

Luggage handling will be charged $5 per piece one way by the W and will be applied to the guest room folio. Should you have any further questions, your contact at the W is David Maldonado Abreu (787) 741-4100.

Please note that check-in time is 4:00pm and check out time is 11:00am. Of course we will do everything to have your room ready in time for your arrival. By sending us your flight information we will be able to best pre-al-locate a room that will be ready by the time you arrive. However, we cannot guarantee this. If you would like to guarantee that your room is ready on arrival, especially if you are arriving early, we suggest you pre-register your room. You can do this by paying a discounted rate for the night before your arrival to ensure early access; rates begin at $350 per room.

SHIPPINGIf you are interested please ship your bags as follows:Attach the special baggage tags or labels we will be sending you. These will have your room number and other important details in order to ensure prompt and proper delivery to your room.

We will provide you with a list of age appropriate questions (and answers) to ask your family during the Seder.
