Muslim Friendly Hotels in Caguas

The Four Points Sheraton hotel, conveniently located from the highway south of Caguas, has a nice swimmingpool area with slide and fountains for the kids, a hot tub, a nice restaurant that looks out onto the pool, a workout room, very comfortable lodgings and excellent service. However, it is co-located with a small casino run by the same company and sharing the same parking lot. Parking is $9/night (as of January, 2010), even for hotel guests. Much of the property is well-built; the parking garage has a glass elevator and there are colored accent lights, a glassed-in walkway that goes by a large outdoor fountain, etc. However, as is common in Caribbean countries, all of it has a soon-to-be-run-down feeling about it. (BEWARE: Most online mapping tools will place the Four Points' address, "500 Alhambra En Granada Boulevard," a few miles north of where it actually is. Follow the directions on their website instead.)
