"This is not a place for introverts: You'll undoubtedly get drawn into late-afternoon wine-and-cheese gatherings on the sunny terrace or a concert in the music room."

Ask for a room with a view, as this is Old San Juan's only lodging facing the Atlantic Ocean.

"Rooms are comfortable but a bit drab, something you won't notice if you are on the beach side. Suites and efficiencies with kitchen facilities are also available. " Full review

We still suggest you splurge for an ocean-view room, with either a balcony or terrace, right on San Juan's most low-key beach.

"With a desirable beachside location... this whitewashed Ocean Park guesthouse is quiet, intimate and definitively Caribbean." Full review
