Just make sure you're happy staying put: There's not much to do nearby, and Old San Juan is at least a $20 cab ride away.

Concierge "Puerto Rico's best-known fashion designer, Nono Maldonado, has turned his exacting attention to this 12-suite boutique hotel in the heart of Old San Juan."
Frommer's "This 12-unit boutique hotel seamlessly blends the colonial charm of its 16th-century quarters with ultramodern interiors by local designer Nono Maldonado." Full review
Lonely Planet "Twelve rooms on six floors, intimate decor and a stunning level of all-round opulence, the Cervantes is about as luxurious as Puerto Rico gets." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The quietly sophisticated, modern interiors in this tiny gem of a hotel (there are just 18 rooms and suites) are the work of famed native designer Nono Maldonado." Full review
Star Service "Small, and about as sweet as they come in Old San Juan, this boutique-hotel ressembles a diminutive version of Hotel El Convento with a designer's touch." Full review
