Barrachina

We will be on the Disney Magic ship. Does anyone know how far it is from the pier to Barrachina? Is it walkable or do we need a taxi? Have anyone stow luggages at Barrachina? What have been your experience?

[Ashland]

It's an easy 10-15 min walk...absolutely no taxi needed (unless you have a lot of luggage).

Storing luggage is their specialty...have no concerns...they start accepting it as early as 9:00am.

If you will be debarking at the pier in OSJ it is a easy walk to Barrachina, depending on how much luggage you have.  It is a slight uphill walk.  If you are at Pan Am Pier, you will need a taxi. 

We have left our luggage at Barrachina numerous times.  When we come back to get it we have lunch or a drink at the bar. A tip to the bus boy who retrieves your bags is always appreciated.

is a reservation needed for dinner?  Is there a charge for the show and how was it?

[LittleYiaYia]

We have never made a reservation, but we tend to eat before the evening rush.  They do accept reservations so if you are planning a busy time, you might want to call and make some.  When we were there in February they did not have a show.  Our waiter told us the performer left Puerto Rico when the hurricane happened and had not returned.  Maybe someone who has been in the last few months can give us an update.

Thank you!

What is considered an acceptable tip? Is $5 a bag sufficient if we eat there after and $10 per bag if we don't ok?

[LittleYiaYia]

We normally tip whatever we would give to a bell boy or porter per bag. Don’t skip the famous Pina Colada’s. They are delicious. Enjoy!

We have been to Old San Juan many times. We will be stopping there on the Celebrity Edge in January.  We always make it a point to go to Barrachina's just to have one of the famous Pina Colada's
