Just make sure you're happy staying put: There's not much to do nearby, and Old San Juan is at least a $20 cab ride away.

"Considered San Juan's signature beachfront hotel, the facilities at this elegant high-rise include three swimming pools, a casino, a bar, a spa, and nine restaurants."

Make sure to experience the 1920s elevator at least once, though stairs are quicker.

"We recommend this somewhat dowdy property because it offers a clean, comfortable good night's sleep in the heart of the historic zone at an economic rate, not an easy find these days"
