"This is not a place for introverts: You'll undoubtedly get drawn into late-afternoon wine-and-cheese gatherings on the sunny terrace or a concert in the music room."

Ask for a room with a view, as this is Old San Juan's only lodging facing the Atlantic Ocean.

"The quirkiest hotel in town is also among the most endearing, thanks to eccentric live-in owners Jan D Esposo and Hernan "Manuco" Gandia."

We still suggest you splurge for an ocean-view room, with either a balcony or terrace, right on San Juan's most low-key beach.
