Which hotel would you choose?

The intercontinental
Caribe Hilton
Courtyard by Marriott Isla Verde

Looking for a nice hotel not to far from the action with a beach, pool and maybe a balcony.
Please help me choose the best of my choices! Your help is appreciated.

If you're only choosing between these three hotels, I'd choose the Courtyard, which is on the best beach. But I can't tell you if the rooms have balconies. The pool there is pretty nice but not as much of a "scene" as at the Caribe Hilton.

Most if not all of the rooms at the Courtyard Marriott have balconies - at least it appears so looking at it from the beach. The Intercontinental also has balconies -but they are pretty small. More to just walk out on rather than lounge. Many but not all rooms at the Caribe Hilton have balconies. All three are right on the ocean. I would say the Intercontinental is on the best stretch of beach out of the three. Caribe Hilton's beach is small and very calm, not much of a walking beach. The beach at the Courtyard Marriott is also nice but it loses points because it is virtually at the end of the airport runway.

My choices in order of preference out of the three would be 1. Intercontinental, 2. Caribe Hilton and 3. Courtyard. Of course, price would also play a part here.
