bus from pier to condado hotels

[markf]

what bus # does one take from old san juan to the area near hotels--cost?

[addicted to crusing]

It is 50 or 75 per person. We have done this cruise 12 times and going in sept and ride it all the time. Cheaper than a taxi but it doesn’t always have a set Schedule. There are a couple that go there but I can’t remember them, bc we always stay in old San Juan and go back and forth to the beach at Carolina. Just ask the drivers they are helpful

There are currently two bus routes serving the Condado area hotels and one of those than keeps going up until Isla Verde which is the other major hotel area. Route 21 is the "shortest" (and do take that as total distance, not time of travel) loop from Old San Juan. It crosses the bridge into Condado where the Hilton Condado Plaza but ultimately ends up in the Santurce/Miramar transfer terminal before making its way back to SJ. Route 53 is a much longer ride that has the same Condado route as #21 but keeps going all the way to Isla Verde. It turns around right in from of the Dennis restaurant located just besides the Ritz Carlton resort. The only hotel after the Ritz is the Courtyard Marriott which is maybe a 5 minute walk from the stop. There's also a free bus loop called SITRAC which have bright red buses that take you into the Piñones/Loiza area where there are a bunch of food kiosks and restaurants. Regular bus charges .75 cents (exact change only) per trip, no luggage allowed and their schedule is ususaly nowhere near "regular".
