Properly located in the glitzy Condado neighborhood, the Olive Boutique Hotel gives off a rustic, chic vibe not often found on the island. The resort comes equipped with a rooftop bar and is a three-minute walk to some of the best beaches in Puerto Rico. If you get bored of living lavish and want something to do in San Juan, the Olive is amid a variety of local shops and restaurants that are easily walkable.

Pro tip: If you’re looking for a more authentic experience, locals are always willing to answer questions to help you create a Puerto Rico travel guide that avoids the tourist traps—even if you’re staying at a resort!

Condado Vanderbilt Hotel

With six on-site restaurants/bars and some of the best views in Puerto Rico, Condado Vanderbilt brings luxury living to a whole new level. Relax in the spa or chill ocean-side with a beach bar butler—Condado Vanderbilt has the perfect mix of boozy and bougie. If that wasn’t enough, the Vanderbilt is located only three miles from Old San Juan and is close to Laguna Condado, making it an ideal resort for those interested in Puerto Rico’s best outdoor activities like kayaking or paddleboarding.

ALL INCLUSIVE:

La Concha

Although there are plenty of things to do in San Juan, it’s pretty hard to stray away from La Concha and all that it offers. With multiple bars, indoor and outdoor eateries, shops, three separate pools, and an infinity pool, there’s no question as to why the trendy La Concha is considered one of the best places to stay in San Juan. Aside from the amenities, La Concha’s unique architecture (it’s built to resemble an oversized conch shell) is enough to never want to leave.

San Juan Marriott

There are countless beach resorts in San Juan, but only the San Juan Marriott can boast its title of the World’s Best Casino Hotel.

Average price: $235/night. (via booking.com)

Pro tip: Even if you don’t choose the San Juan Marriott, locals note the casino is open to non-Marriott vacationers as well, so feel free to add this award-winning hotspot to your Puerto Rico itinerary.

Acacia Boutique Hotel

Located one block off of Condado Beach, Acacia Boutique Hotel offers great views and amenities that will keep you and your wallet happy. Close to the El Yunque Forest and the River Camuy National Park, Acacia is also known for its award-winning onsite restaurant that supplies authentic local cuisine you can only find when traveling San Juan.

Pro tip: Luckily, a trip to San Juan doesn’t have to break the bank. There are plenty of cheap and even free things to do in San Juan. Sure you can trust Google to find some deals for you, but don’t risk it—it’s better to ask a local.
