Close to Everything:
From Villa Playa Blanca you can walk to the Intercontinental Hotel and the El San Juan Hotel and to all the great restaurants in the area. You are only a few minutes from Old San Juan and the El Morro Fort. You can take a tour of the Bacardi Rum Factory and have two free drinks. You can enjoy the wonderful food of the Casita Blanca Restaurant in Santurce---one of the oldest best in the area, it was even featured on the Food Channel. You can drive in only 30 minutes to the rainforest and enjoy the waterfalls. You can take a day trip to enjoy the crashing surf of Cabo Rojo and the light house there. I love the salt flats in the area with the sunsets--Wow! The area is very safe and Walgreens drug store is right across the street for your every need.
Great Restaurants in San Juan and Isla Verde:
There are many culinary fairs in Old San Juan and the restaurants are amazing.
Puerto Rican Food, Spanish Food, Indian Food, Italian Food and on and on. Restaurants like Sofia's and Corazon take you back to the feeling of Old Style San Juan and the food is out of this world. Places like the Asian Latino Restaurant that have a fusion of Puerto Rican Style Food and Asian Food that will make your taste buds scream with joy!
Many of the restaurants have indoor courtyards with Spanish Style settings that bring you back to eras of long past.
Of course there is the San Sebastian Festival in Old San Juan with the Large Paper Mache Heads that people walk around with. The Salsa Music is going every where and you can't help but get caught up in dancing the night away. If you don't have fun in Old San Juan... then you won't have fun any where.
Old San Juan is very safe... and there are great night clubs to enjoying great music... and romantic moon lite strolls on the ocean
Museums and Lots of Rum!:
There are many wonderful museums in Old San Juan and one of my favorite is the Native American Museum. This is not your average museum because a man from Sweden took a trip all over the America's including going down the Amazon river... making plaster casts of indigenous people along the way. When he got home he made bronze full body castings of these people... and donated them to our museum--an amazing collection of art and relics are in the museum.
We have the oldest Church in all of the Western World located in Old San Juan... and it is open for the public to walk through.
You can enjoy our rum drinks at any of the local bars in Old San Juan. We make almost all the rum for the US and the world. Bacardi is right on the other side of the bay and you can take a taxi over and enjoy the Bacardi Tour and 3 free drinks in their tasting room. They have a great movie about the history of Bacardi too that is very interesting.
