Sox Fan Cruiser Posted March 6, 2009 #1 Share Posted March 6, 2009 We are staying in San Juan one extra day after our cruise. We are looking for a nice place to stay, maybe in Old Town? We don't want a budget buster but not using price as the criteria. We want to stay at a place where we are wow'd and it's part of the San Juan experience. Think more boutique/bed & breakfast, not Marriott. It's a Sunday night if that makes a difference with what's going on in the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemylab Posted March 7, 2009 #2 Share Posted March 7, 2009 For the wow factor and San Juan experience the place that immediately comes to my mind is El Convento. A former convent boutique hotel in the heart of Old San Juan. I haven't stayed there myself but it looks beautiful and receives great reviews. Only problem is that it is expensive.

Sox Fan Cruiser Posted March 7, 2009 Author #4 Share Posted March 7, 2009 That's it!!! When we were there the last time we asked some of the locals where to stay and that's what they said. Of course we completely forgot the name as soon as we got back to the ship. MUST. WRITE. THINGS. DOWN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espmass Posted March 7, 2009 #6 Share Posted March 7, 2009 We always go to eat at the tappas bar (El Tappatio or something like that) in the hotel when we're in San Juan. Great food! GO SOX! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linkinsama Posted March 9, 2009 #7 Share Posted March 9, 2009 We always go to eat at the tappas bar (El Tappatio or something like that) in the hotel when we're in San Juan. it's El Picoteo. I've read tons of reviews and they were all fantastic. It's on our must do list. We're staying at Intercontinental post cruise so we can have a relaxing beach day and be close to the airport for our early am flight Monday.
