VACruiser Posted June 16, 2018 Report Share Posted June 16, 2018 I am a year out for two Puerto Rico Royal Caribbean Cruises on FOTS and would probably ask the same question so I too am waiting on what the responses will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princevaliantus Posted June 16, 2018 Report Share Posted June 16, 2018 Depends on what area you are looking to lodge at? Old San Juan, Condado, Santurce, Marimar, Carolina, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLMoran Posted June 16, 2018 Report Share Posted June 16, 2018 Alternate restaurant, off the touristy path -- Tropical Taste. Was just there this past April and loved the place. Tucked away in the back of a gift shop, a few minutes walk from the pigeon park that's close to the pier area. Apologies that I can't give an exact address, we stumbled across it while being guided through Old San Juan by a friend of my daughters and searching for a non-touristy spot to have lunch. Great conch if you want to try something different, and fantastic mojitos. Garnet21 and Skid 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider looking for an AirBnB rather than classic hotel - there are a lot of options that are considerably more affordable than a hotel, however many of them do have a two night minimum. For another Old San Juan hotel option, look at Hotel CasaBlanca - my MIL and FIL stayed there and they said it was nice! Restaurants - Barrachina is definitely worth a stop, as others have noted! Their pina colada is the original, and also delicious. For a cheap happy hour and good food go to Greengo's on Calle Fortaleza - Mexican food, but good! Another Puerto Rican food stop that's good for large groups in Old San Juan is Vaca Brava! Garnet21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, I would suggest CasaBlanca Hotel, Hotel El Convento or La Terraza de San Juan. Always had great experiences in all three.
