tauntoncheer Posted February 23, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Staying at the Hyatt Place in March before cruise. How close is this to Old San Juan and are there stores near the hotel to pick up wine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubber Posted February 26, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I saw it this morning assuming you are talking about Hyatt Place City Center. It's very close to the convention center and the PanAm Pier. It's about a ten minute taxi ride to center of OSJ. Don't know about wine options around it though.

Stinger-pr Posted February 26, 2018 #4 Share Posted February 26, 2018 While this hotel is about 1/2 a mile from the Pan American Pier it's really one of the Convention Center complex hotels. It's about a 10 minutes or less ride into Old San Juan but there are no stores near it. You'll have two options, really. Either a taxi to OSJ piers where you can do some quick shopping at CVS or Walgreens or Taxi to Condado to the Supermax supermarket. It has a huge wine selection.

ARandomTraveler Posted February 26, 2018 #6 Share Posted February 26, 2018 There is also wine sold inside the PanAm pier, if that’s where your cruise leaves from. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sun_lovin!1 Posted February 27, 2018 #7 Share Posted February 27, 2018 We do depart from that pier. I plan to check out the wine selection. Thanks!! Sent from my LG-E980 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hokie79 Posted March 4, 2018 #8 Share Posted March 4, 2018 We are looking at hotels for December and was considering this one. Can anyone comment it there are nearby restaurants in walking distance? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger-pr Posted March 4, 2018 #9 Share Posted March 4, 2018 There are a couple nearby. There is a Longhorn Steakhouse and an Olive Garden besides the Hyatt House right across the street from the Hyatt Place. A bit farther up is there is a Sizzler. Nearby at the Sheraton you have Texas De Brazil and a Metropol (cuban-Caribbean food).

ATC cruiser Posted March 4, 2018 #10 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I’m staying at the Hyatt House, which is just across the street, at the end of the month. There are a couple of restaurants on the other side of Hwy1 that look interesting. One is Casita Miramar, the other is Melanzana. I’m just not sure if you can get to either of them by walking. I’m going to wait and find out when I get there. I’ll keep you posted. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

love2travel41 Posted April 4, 2018 #15 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Thanks to all who answered my question about fridges in ocean view rooms. I now have three more questions. Will the ship be on the same time as San Juan (which I know is an hour later than here in Michigan). Will we need a converter to use outlets in San Juan hotel? (We are staying at the Hyatt Plaza.) We plan on boarding the Carnival Fascination between 1 and 1:30. We will get something to eat and then get back off the ship for awhile. If we do that, will we need to get in line behind people who are just checking in or will there be a line for people returning to the ship? Thanks very much!

Clubber Posted April 4, 2018 #16 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Your ship should be on the same time as San Juan. No converters needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Michigan is in the Eastern time zone, San Juan, which is in the Atlantic time zone, will be one hour later than Michigan during Standard Time. When Michigan is on Daylight Saving Time, as it is right now, it will be on the same time as San Juan as Puerto Rico does not use Daylight Saving Time, so it doesn't advance its time one hour during that part of the year.

As you’re cruising with Carnival, I do believe you will be embarking at the pier in OSJ. The information in this thread that refers to the Pan Am pier won’t apply to you other than your hotel is closer to that pier than the one in OSJ.
