Getting around: The hotel’s location in the Santurce business area means plenty of restaurants but fewer stores so taxis or buses are needed to get around to shopping, the beach, and entertainment areas. To explore other parts of the city, take AMA or Metrobus public buses from stops marked “Parada” for fares less than $5. Fees subject to change without notice. A5 stops in front of the hotel and travels within the popular Condado-Old San Juan-Isla Verde districts. Once in Old San Juan, it’s simplest to stroll, but hopping on and off the district’s open-air trolleys is free. The narrow streets and lack of parking can make driving particularly difficult in Old San Juan and in general, visitors may find local driving habits are aggressive and require caution. Taxis outside of tourist areas charge metered fares. Ferries run from the pier in Old San Juan across the bay to Cataño for less than $5 and from Fajardo on the east coast to the islands of Vieques and Culebra for fares of less than $5. Fees subject to change without notice. Various públicos or passenger vans travel around the island but can be slow as drivers wait for a full van. The main terminal is on the waterfront in Old San Juan. Shuttle vans or private cars of varying prices are available. They can be selected during the process of booking an air-inclusive reservation for this hotel, via this Web site, and added to the total trip cost.
