  • Can't miss it if you are walking from the cruise port to San Cristobal fort. It was smaller than I had thought it would be, but still pleasant.

  • Nice, rich in history. Was great place to stop and take in some local fare. The fort was amazing, and really full. There are a lot of gift shops in the area, so be ready to see a lot of knik knacks everywhere. Other than that, was a nice place to hang out for a little bit.
  • Great ocean view, beach, bar and amenities. You walk out right on to the beach. The beach is beautiful and clean. The rooms are a bit outdated but clean. The rooms have no air circulation so your clothes, mask and towels never dry. However, the rooms are air conditioned and you can regulate it yourself. There is no refrigerator or microwave in the room. You can rent one for around $25. The rooftop bar and restaurants are very nice but the pool there is very small. Overall a good stay with comfortable beds.
  • Located in old San Juan with shops, restaurants and bars all around. A beautiful setting to relax after a walk through the center. Very good area, stately and crucial destination to stop.
  • A charming area of Old San Juan. The shops and restaurants make this an attractive area to visit. The other observation was how beautiful the architecture and pastel colors of the buildings with narrow cobblestone roads make this area a must see. Definitely recommended.
  • Rife with history, this city will transport you back over the centuries and bring the Spanish and Puerto Rican worlds to life! The fort is a mist see and shopping is plentiful. A word of warning, watch where you're walking! The cobblestone streets are slick after rain and there are uneven areas that will easily trip you up.
