Travel Note

Suggested Location: Old San Juan

We recommend staying in Old San Juan, one of the most popular destinations in Puerto Rico, a great central location, and the best starting point when visiting the island. Old San Juan is truly an all inclusive vacation destination offering something for everyone to enjoy. Old San Juan would also offer us the opportunity to maximize the time spent with our friends and family over the weekend where we can meet up from any location by foot and does not require car rental.

Travel Note

Alternate Location: Condado Beach

If you choose not to stay in Old San Juan, we suggest staying in Condado Beach, a neighboring community, approximately a 10-15 minute drive away. Condado is an oceanfront, tree-lined pedestrian-oriented community. Just over the bridge from Old San Juan and Puerta de Tierra, Condado is one of Puerto Rico's most fashionable places to call home. Cartier, Louis Vuitton, and Ferragamo are among the names you'll see on the storefronts here. Sophisticated bistros and restaurants draw lively crowds at night, and the beach is always popular. Interestingly, Condado's hotels don't follow the high-end trend; you can find great deals that put you in the heart of San Juan's ritziest neighborhood.

Travel Note

Alternate Location: Ocean Park

If you choose not to stay in Old San Juan, we suggest staying in Ocean Park, a neighboring community, approximately a 10-15 minute drive away. Wedged between Condado in the west and Isla Verde in the east, this little residential pocket is home to a charming collection of guesthouses and inns, a great beach, and fun, casual places to eat and hang out. It's a little bit of the laid-back California vibe in Puerto Rico.

Travel Note

Alternate Location: Isla Verde

If you choose not to stay in Old San Juan, we suggest staying in Isla Verde Beach, a neighboring community, approximately a 10-15 minute drive away. Isla Verde is the fancy resort strip of San Juan. What draws the crowds to this neighborhood? Isla Verde means "Green Island," but it's the lovely crescent of beachfront that commands center stage, and it is here that you'll find some of the island's hippest, hottest, and most exclusive hotels.
