We had a lovely romantic Val's Day dinner atop the Atelier Rooftop Terrace. Service was friendly and professional, food tasty, but the view and the lighting around the deck and the pool were magical. Will return next time in PR.

The atmosphere and food were really really good. But the long wait times were compounded by an apparent lack of sufficient, staff just walking past you and not even acknowledging you, and staff that seemed to be clueless. However, once the bartender started to assist us, things went well. The space is very calming so the waiting was not as unpleasant as it could have been.
