Dinner with sunset view?

[mchelle77]

We're docked from 4pm to 10pm, so we really would love a beachfront restaurant with a view of the sunset - any recommendations?

For old San Juan, look at the restaurant on top of the Hotel Milano on Calle Fortaleza, a short walk from the pier.

 

If you want a beachside restaurant, look up in Condado for La Vista or La Isla, both on the beach.

Although Punto de Vista (the restaurant at Hotel Milano) has great food, you won't get much of a sunset view at all. It's still on a lower elevation than the rest of the buildings to the west of it so there's no line of sight to the sunset. You'll have a partial view of the bay/docks, tough. I'm afraid that Old San Juan is not really "dinner with sunset view" friendly.

Sting-pr...any other recs up in Condado or maybe Isla Verde?

 

mchelle77, these will require a taxi ride. Rates are probably metered to these places from the cruise pier but pre-hurricane from Condado to the cruise piers was between $12-$15 one way.

There are a lot of great restaurants in the Isla Verde/Condado, Old San Juan area that can easily be recommended. But for viewing the sunset, honestly, none come to mind. Here's the reason: Due to PR's location, the sun sets west to a bit south west. The beach/coast area that spans from Isla Verde beach besides the airport to El Morro fort curves north west. This means that almost everything is facing north, north-east, making a sunset view a bit difficult.

try Oceano on Condado. beautiful setting on the beach and the food and drinks were great

I agree with Oceano.  We have eaten there twice, food was great and right on the beach.

For sunset views, we go to Oceano.  If we remain in OSJ, then we choose Marmalade. 

 

We've been to both restaurants multiple times.

I got the package from island marketing and started at the beach then went up onto their roof top. I enjoyed my stay on their roof top right on the beach of Isla verde:)
