You need to check this restaurant out. It was so good, we went back there twice.

Anyone ever heard of this place? San Juan Puerto Rico Hotel | The San Juan Water & Beach Club | Boutique Hotel On The Beach

Thinking of an ocean front room there...4 nights...out to eat each night at a cool place and just chillin the rest of the time walking around, laying by pool/beach etc.

U Boat, that place looks good. Def will put it on my list. And Scott, where did you get that dish? Any place? Or some place specific?

Thanks guys!!!

I stayed at the RC as well. It was nice, but in my opinion, (at least when I was there) there were may too many families with kids- which was not something the wife and I were looking for that week.

Wyndham San Juan has never failed to show me a great time. Nice little casino, 2 clubs in the lobby, lots of entertainment!

Thanks for the posts guys. I am not a big Ritz fan...nor into big 'chain' style hotels so ill most likely avoid these and go more boutique on my hotel (see the link i posted in my prior post).

Anyone know if i should rent a car?

Best hotels to stay, well depends were do you want to stay, Metro area outskirts of the island and so on. In the Metro area well the Ritz, San Jan Hotel, La Concha. If you want to be not in the metro area then I would say Westin Rio Mar, El Conquistador in Fajardo.

Rent a car, I would say YES. there are lots of things to see and having a car always helps. Puerto Rico Vacations | Puerto Rico Tourism Company | Puerto Rico Tourism & Travel

Restaurants well there are a lot of them depends on taste. I would recommend this site Restaurants in Puerto Rico | Menus Reviews Guide
