Trendy Four-Star Boutique Hotel with Ocean Views

At San Juan Water Beach Club Hotel in Puerto Rico, even the elevator ride is a unique experience. Inside the elevator is a waterfall enclosed by glass, and the glass ceiling allows you to look up the elevator’s shaft as you ascend. Such details earned the 4-star hotel recognition from TripAdvisor as one of the Caribbean’s top five trendiest hotels. Further solidifying the hotel’s fashionable reputation, Mariah Carey, Benicio del Toro, Tommy Hilfiger, and other celebrities have all paid a visit to Mist, the resort’s rooftop lounge, which overlooks Isla Verde Beach.

The mood is relaxed in the accommodations area, where you can hear the sound of the ocean surf as it’s piped into the corridors that lead to guest rooms. From oceanfront rooms, you can get a nice view of the Atlantic.

The hotel is located along Isla Verde Beach, an idyllic stretch of Atlantic coastline where you can enjoy fruit kebabs. San Juan Water Beach Club Hotel’s staff prides itself on pampering guests—you can order food and have it delivered right to your chair on the beach.

For a more formal sit-down meal, head to ZEST, located in the hotel lobby. Here, culture and local flavors mix with a relaxed atmosphere to celebrate Puerto Rican cuisine. Created by award-winning Chef Raúl Correa, ZEST serves a globally-inspired, casual menu influenced by iconic local dishes and using hand-picked ingredients from the surrounding farming community. A warm, vibrant décor combining the elements—earth, wind, fire, and water— complemented with a permanent collection by the Puerto Rican artist Lex Tirado, creates a sociable ambiance where you can enjoy delicious culinary delights and a creative selection of well-crafted cocktails and wines. Later, feel free to head up to Mist, where DJs spin lounge music with a Latin vibe Thursday–Saturday.

San Juan, Puerto Rico: Cosmopolitan City with Rich Spanish Heritage and Excellent Surfing and Fishing

Located along the northeastern coast of Puerto Rico, San Juan is a city of superlatives: it’s the largest city on the island, it’s one of the oldest colonial cities on US territory, and it operates one of the busiest seaports in the world. And though San Juan is certainly modern, it also preserves quite a bit of its Spanish heritage. At the mouth of San Juan Bay, you’ll find the blue-cobblestone streets of Old San Juan lined with museums, churches, and military forts dating back to the 16th century. The San Juan National Historic Site features well-preserved buildings such as Castillo San Felipe del Morro, a castle-like fortress built to defend the city from seaborne enemies.

Strong waves and constant winds keep windsurfers and kiteboarders busy in San Juan, and sailboats ring the marinas year-round. But the island might be best known for its deep-sea fishing. Numerous charter boats can take you out to fish for tarpon, blue marlin, and mahi-mahi.
