San Juan hotels

[Redrobo]

we were put into the Carib Hilton when we had a flight delay, great hotel with good restaurants on site. A small beach. Close to the embarkation pier.

How far away from Old San Juan is this ?

The Carib Hilton is in New San Juan...10-15 minute taxi ride.

OMG, this place is on the beach only two blocks from the Embassy Suites - great food and location.

Ah bummer. In our defense we were 2 girls walking around in unfamiliar territory at 9pm in the dark, so we just headed towards the lights.

Thanks everyone for your replies as the places we have stayed before are all booked at the time we cruise next so was just checking to see what everyone else liked

I like Caleta 64 (www.caleta64.com). It's a building with 4 apartments, with kitchenettes and washer and dryer. It's about a half a block from the San Juan Cathedral and El Convento. You can see both from the building. We stayed in the La Puerta apartment before a cruise a few years ago. Next January, we will be staying in the Casablanca apartment. Owners are the Garcias who own a shop around the corner.

There is no longer a casino, as of 2015. The only casino out there is at the Embassy Suites, isla verde (on Tartak Street).

How close would you say the Embassy Suites is to the cruise ship piers?

Not close at all, about a $20-$30 cab ride depending on how many people you have and how much luggage (they charge per piece of luggage). There really isn't any hotel that's close enough to walk, but if you want to be closer, you're best off in Old San Juan.

 

I do like this hotel though, it's got lots of room (as all Embassy Suites do because they have a separate bedroom and separate living room area, which is great for families or people with lots of luggage, or varied sleep schedules) for virtually the same price as a regular hotel room, plus they offer free breakfast.

 

You'll need to take a cab to get to old San Juan, as well as to the pier. It's close to the airport though (about a 5 min drive).
