sungoddezz Posted July 25, 2004 #1 Share Posted July 25, 2004 We will be in San Juan from 2-8 pm in Jan, with the Explorer of the seas. Can anyone tell me what beach they would recommend for a group travelling with teens? Also how long does it take to get to Isla Verde from where we dock? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtaylor Posted July 25, 2004 #2 Share Posted July 25, 2004 I would highly recommend Escambrón, as it is the closest to Old San Juan and the cruise piers, and is a beautiful beach with many services, including life guards and clean restrooms. My wife inspected and gave them an A grade! It does get crowded (with locals) on the weekends! It's very close to the Carib Hilton and their services, and some local restaurants and groceries. You can get there from Old San Juan on the city bus for $.25 and a short walk Isla Verde is 10 or 15 minutes away, depending on traffic. Bus or taxi. It's past the beach.

FRANKM Posted July 25, 2004 #3 Share Posted July 25, 2004 I was at Escambron last year. Great beach. Clean and the waters are calm. They have picnic tables under the coconut trees which is a plus. Weekends tend to be very crowded. I was there during the week and it was empty. Nice views also. Its' actually off a main road going to Old San Juan so it can be easily done by bus. Iam going to PR this August so Escambron will definately be a stop. Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sungoddezz Posted August 9, 2004 Author #4 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Thanks for all your help. Escambron it is then. One more question....does anyone know if you can use the facilities/beach at Carib Hilton? We will only be in port from 2-8pm so maybe the have a day pass?

Beachcombers Posted December 4, 2004 #5 Share Posted December 4, 2004 Hi, sungoddezz.. Hope you're still getting replies to this thread.. just wondered if you have gotten any more info on Escambron Beach.. we plan to be in San Juan in Feb, and this looks as tho it would be a good place to spend a few hours! If you have any additional stuff, maybe you could refer it to us Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzrus2 Posted July 1, 2005 #6 Share Posted July 1, 2005 We have stayed at the Caribe Hilton a couple of times and I don't think you can use the facilities there. When walking out to the pool area from the lobby, you must give your room #. It may be worth a call to see if you can use them for a small fee though.

Starz723 Posted July 5, 2005 #8 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Has anyone taken a taxi from the piers in old SJ to Escambron beach? How much? and are they right there at the pier. Are there taxis available from the beach, or would it be wise to go to one of the hotels to get a taxi.. Im totally not familiar with PR All answeres appreciated.

Marykatesmom Posted July 14, 2005 #9 Share Posted July 14, 2005 I'd be interested to know if a taxi is available, how long a ride and how much.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clubber Posted July 15, 2005 #10 Share Posted July 15, 2005 The taxis charge by the zone. At least that's what they are suppose to do. Make sure you agree on the price before you leave. Looks like it should be around $6 to Puerto de Tierra / Escambron Beach.
