Diners have three informal but inventive eateries to choose from, and the cafe has evolved into a brew-pub of sorts with nearly two dozen beers to choose from.
Gayot "Hotel El Convento exhibits a timeless aura of old world charm and splendor... Located in Old San Juan, the hotel offers 58 elegant rooms."

Jetsetter "Beautifully restored former convent in Old San Juan with colonial interiors and traditional Puerto Rican cuisine." Full review
