SpeedsterX Posted September 10, 2015 #1 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Last time we went to Puerto Rico we went and walked the town a bit and then asked a taxi driver to take us to a nice beach. WRONG decision! He took us to the ****tiest beach I've ever been in the Caribbean. Near a ton of construction, dirty and the water seemed to have a film over it. We made the best of it but will be doing more research this time around. Anyone know of a nice tropical beach or day pass all-inclusive in Puerto Rico? Any Suggestions? Note: we're not into ruins or forts, rain forests etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdship Posted September 10, 2015 #2 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Same, we are also looking for a nice beach, not into the ruins etc either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayInPR Posted September 10, 2015 #3 Share Posted September 10, 2015 There are no all-inclusives here, so forget about that. Try Playa Puerto Nuevo, the beaches in Condado and Isla Verde (by the hotels), some of the beaches in Piñones, or head east to Luquillo. Google and Google Maps are your friends.

After I posted this and did a little bit of research and found a Day Pass at least, not all inclusive but $50 to use the ammenities at the Marriott near Condado. Would you recommend? http://caribbeandaypass.com/san-juan-marriott/4555369287 Thanks for the reply! :-) Edited September 11, 2015 by SpeedsterX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisegoer Posted September 13, 2015 #5 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Condado beach where ashford ave turns into mcleary ave is a very nice section of beach, it's pretty much behind Acacia Boutique Hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langoustine Posted September 13, 2015 #6 Share Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) If you have time, rent a car and drive to Luquillo Beach. Very, very nice and probably exactly what you are looking for. Edited September 13, 2015 by Langoustine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to check that out. Thank you! If you have time, rent a car and drive to Luquillo Beach. Very, very nice and probably exactly what you are looking for. I think you get what I am saying so I will make sure to research Luquillo Beach. Can I take a cab from San Juan? Too expensive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmsu2000 Posted October 19, 2015 #10 Share Posted October 19, 2015 This is your choice Isla Verda Popular beach and over rated. Water is not that clear. Easy access by bus from cruise port. Condado beach On Hilton Condado Palaza Hotel, Only 15 minutes from old San Juan by bus, samll beach but super calm and crystal clear water. Chair rental is $5, umbrella is $10 but you don't need one. The hotel building will provide shade most of the day. Luquillo beach. You need a rental car to get here. Water is blue but not that clean. Some session wave can be very strong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfaeric Posted October 19, 2015 #11 Share Posted October 19, 2015 IMHO, the best beaches of Puerto Rico are on Culebra. If there is time, go out there. Also great ones on Viequez. Some others on totally different parts of the island out west and down south- so you would need to rent a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one has ever asked for proof I stay there or a day pass. If anyone asks, you can just say you didn't know and you'd like to buy one. You can access the pool from the street or beach so you don't even have to go through the lobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galleon1234 Posted October 21, 2015 #13 Share Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) Would appreciate any other info. Are you able to use the beach chairs and towels when you go? Thanks Edited October 21, 2015 by shadow1234 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdc2013 Posted October 21, 2015 #14 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Would appreciate any other info. Are you able to use the beach chairs and towels when you go?Thanks I am curious how can you go onto a property and not get caught or use their facilities without getting noticed. I would get embarrassed if i was asked to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
