Retro-chic resort w/ ocean views, pools, casino & dining
"For those who want resort amenities—pools, beach, gourmet restaurants, and nightlife—smack-dab in the city, this classic is conveniently sandwiched between the shores of the Condado Lagoon and the Atlantic Ocean. Soothing sea-toned motifs flow through 478 spacious, recently-renovated rooms. Balcony rooms with ocean views are particularly captivating; you can’t beat the breezes in the afternoon. Ashford Avenue is the ritzy “Main Street” of Condado, peppered with high-end shops, restaurants and bars. The resort abuts the lovely Ventanas al Mar park, which holds free jazz concerts at the end of each month. Care to kayak or enjoy some paddleboarding? The lagoon is right across the street. The Casino Del Mar is one of San Juan’s last remnants of its gambling capital glory days. Fifty Eight Nightclub draws an energetic dance crowd." - Jessica Sulima
"If you want resort amenities—multiple pools, direct beach access, gourmet restaurants, and nightlife—this classic Condado property sits between the Condado Lagoon and the Atlantic Ocean and delivers them all. The 478 recently renovated rooms carry soothing sea-toned motifs and balcony rooms with ocean views are especially captivating; Ashford Avenue’s shops and restaurants are right outside, the resort abuts Ventanas al Mar park (which hosts free jazz concerts at month’s end), and the lagoon across the street is ideal for kayaking or paddleboarding. La Concha also retains nightlife elements such as Casino Del Mar and Fifty Eight Nightclub." - Jessica Chapel
"An iconic 1958 seashell-shaped resort that recently underwent a major renovation to modernize its offerings while preserving its eye-catching silhouette; the revamp introduced 238 renovated rooms and high-profile dining, including Levant by an award-winning chef and a sushi-and-sake-focused Tekka Bar, positioning the property as both an architectural landmark and a contemporary culinary destination in San Juan." - Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila is a bilingual travel writer, editor, and content marketer.

"A pink grande dame with literary pedigree—Ernest Hemingway and Tennessee Williams both worked here—and a lobby mojito program that treats the drink as cultural craft: bartenders undergo deep training, a portable mojito cart appears daily, and the prepared mojitos emphasize balance and simplicity using Papa Pilar’s Blonde Rum, a sugarcane stick, and a precise mint technique." - Carrie Honaker
"A decades-old cultural icon that remains a hotspot thanks to careful renovations: updated rooms and suites, a cutting-edge oceanfront spa called Elemara, and new dining concepts such as Tekka Bar by Takashi Segawa and an upcoming concept from acclaimed chef Michael White keep the energy fresh and contemporary." - Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila is a bilingual travel writer, editor, and content marketer.
