I am looking at hotel options for our San Juan cruise in January.   Anyone have any suggestions?

 

We would arrive early afternoon Saturday then board Rhapsody on Sunday.  

 

I'm thinking Condado Hotel or Hilton Garden Inn near Condado Beach.   We definitely want a hotel with a pool and restaurant/bar. 

 

We've stayed at 3 hotels and I'd stay at any of them again, depending on the situation.

 

- Used to be the Sheraton Old San Juan, now the Hotel Rumbao - I've not stayed here since it changed from the Sheraton.  Reviews say that it's under renovation so check first.  Good if you want walking distance to OSJ places (lots of bar and restaurant options plus the 2 forts).  Restaurant, rooftop bar and pool.  Right in front of the OSJ piers and across the channel from the pier that Royal uses.  Hotel El Convento and CasaBlanca Hotel both get good reviews on Cruise Critic for other OSJ hotel options.

 

- La Concha Renaissance San Juan Resort - Large, resort style.  Several restaurants and pools.  Great beach area on Condado Beach.  Casino on site.  Loved this place.

 

- AC Hotel San Juan Condado - Nice hotel with rooftop bar and pool.  Has privileges at the San Juan Marriott Resort (pool, beach, casino, restaurants).  Short walk to several restaurants.  Good for a quick 1-night stay where you won't be doing much that night.

 

I haven't stayed at any of the conference center hotels, but they are the shortest drive to the pier in the morning.

Good to hear about all the grandchildren having happy birthdays.

Congratulations to all! 🥳 🎂 😊 

@Lionesss OMG -a cat as a plus1 at a wedding reception!

I can’t imagine what the other guests and you and hubby thought when you saw the cat at your table!

The older I get, the less phased I get at wacky happenings!

But….a cat - Wow!

Take care

Good morning.  We have a new Metro train line here in Sydney. DH loves it as it makes his commute quicker.  This morning he got off at the new Barangaroo metro stop and then walked to his office.  Photos from his walk.

We stayed at the El Conquistador in Fajardo, which had its own private island where they ferried you for a beach break (Palomino). I think that hotel is no more. But it was really really nice.

The El Conquistador Resort is still there.   Looks like somewhere we would really enjoy staying; however, it is well over 1 hr drive to the cruise port.    As much as I would love to stay here, I think we want to be closer to cruise port in Condado or Old San Juan area.

No cats, but I did see a first last night at WaterFire.  Someone pushing a cat in a stroller.   
 

I have seen dogs in strollers before, but not cats. 

My daughter has a cat stroller and her cat loves being strolled around in it. 😁 
She also hides in it at times.....the cat that is, not the daughter!
