This was different than our usual tropical resort stays. Unique trip in that way. And safe!!! On one side of the building, you have local businesses, high-rises, bars, pharmacies, restaurants, and shopping. If you go through the lobby, you are on the beach. It’s like two different worlds.
The beach was never busy. You can rent a tent for $10 and lounge chairs for four dollars each. Long stretch of beach for walking. You can walk down the beach to restaurants.
The condo itself is on the 16th floor and has an absolutely stunning view. The water is an unbelievable color. The condo had everything we needed. The hosts were kind enough to leave us eggs, cheese, bread, bananas, and some Puerto Rican rum. We had beach towels, an umbrella, sand toys, and chairs.
The smaller bedroom does not have a TV and the beds are twin daybed mattresses. Personally, I didn’t watch TV the whole time I was there, so it didn’t matter.
The kitchen was fully stocked, and complaints earlier about the cookware have been remedied. Previous complaints about stained furniture and bedding were not apparent. Looks like the couch has been replaced and the bedding was fine.
There are 4000 Ubers in San Juan and so unless you’re venturing out to other parts of the island, you do not need to rent a car. Most Uber pick ups are within a matter of minutes. We did rent a car but didnt explore & didnt need it.
Across the street are bars, a small strip club(if you’re so inclined), and 24 hour restaurants.
