We ended up staying at the Condado Vanderbilt. Fantastic hotel in every way. However, the north coast of PR is rough. Swimming is challenging to dangerous. So, for beach goers, not the best choice. (I'm told the south coast of PR is much better for the beach scene.) The Vanderbuilt has lots of options for hanging around the pool and pool bar.

Completely by chance we stumbled in to El Convento while touring Old San Juan. Looked great. Might have to try it next time.

This was the first time we've spent any time in PR (other than passing thru SJU). Absolutely loved it. Great vibe, Friendly people. Great food. We will be back.
