San Juan hotels?

[ladypirate2012]

Sailing on the March 28th spring break and planning to come in Thursday ahead of the cruise to have Friday to tour San Juan. Would like recommendations for hotel, would like ocean/beach, but not too expensive for taxi to the port. Hotels that include breakfast would be awesome....

Most of the hotels on the beach are higher end properties - not cheap and no free breakfast......

 

Condado and Isla Verda are the areas you want for beaches. Taxi's to/from airport and cruise ship will run 20.00 +/-.

 

If you're worried about small expenses like taxi costs and free breakfasts prepare yourself- San Juan is a GREAT place to visit, but not cheap.

 

You might want to check out Embassy Suites - just a block or two from the beach and they do provide breakfast.

 

Don't visit without seeing Old San Juan!

We have several times at ESJ Condos in Isla Verde. Breakfast comes with your stay and it is located on the beach.

I stayed at the Hampton Inn in Carolina. $172 a night

Nice outdoor pool with Tiki Bar and Grill. (Delicious Burgers!, $8)

 

Free Breakfast was included, waffles, sausage, eggs, cereal, fruit, muffins, juice, etc. (lots of choices)

 

Zone 2 in Taxi from the airport - ?? $20 + $1 bag tip

 

At 6pm - Warm Chocolate Chip Cookies every evening.

 

24 hour coffee, tea, hot chocolate and fruit(apples) in the lobby.

 

Clean, comfy bed and a short walk to the beach. local transportation across the street.

 

Will definitely stay there again when in San Juan.

We stayed at the Renaissance on Av. Ashford (Condado Beach). The hotel property was beautiful, and there were many food options nearby.

I made two reservations, one at Marriott Stelaris and Condado Plaza Hilton. Trip Advisor is #4 for Marriott, waaaaaaay down for Hilton. leaning towards the Marriott. Any advice either way?
