San Juan Review 4/5
These pictures were taken on my recent trip to San Juan. It
was on my bucket list and I am glad I got to experience it. I am sure there
were a few things that weren’t completely recovered from Hurricane Maria but I
did not notice. Here is my brief review of my overall experience there.
The scenery/overall
vibe: 4/5 Beautiful. I would say its Miami (Downtown San Juan/Condado)
meets Havana, Cuba (Old San Juan). Icaco Island is amazing. You can take a bus
to a ferry or catamaran which is about an hour and half. The water is amazingly
blue!
The Food: 3/5-
Overall good. Very American but if you like Puerto Rican food you are in
heaven. Mofongo, one of their national dishes, is definitely an acquired taste
which I wasn’t fond of. I recommend restaurants Perla for an upscale dinner and Oceano for brunch!
The nightlife: 3/5
Decent. Club Brava at the El San Juan Hotel is very upscale and nice. La
Placita is a strip of bars and clubs similar to Ocean Drive in Miami or Adams
Morgan in DC.
The hotels: 4/5 San
Juan has very nice hotels, some right on the beach. My girls and I stayed at AC
Marriott which is clean, simple and chic. It has a great rooftop bar and pool
which can be seen on my Instagram.
The people/locals:
3/5 They seemed nice overall.
Overall, highly recommended. I think everyone should go to San
Juan or some part of PR at least once.
