Club Monaco was a lot of fun. right on the Beach with indoor and outdoor bar, and indoor dancefloor. However...If you plan on hanging out in the sand area near he outdoor bar, i suggest you bring bug spray. The sand fleas will get you and you wont feel the bites, but you will see and feel them itching like crazy the next morning!

Bayamon is a short taxi ride to Old Juan.

buy a cuban! it's legal there.

Just get some "real" puertorrican food like mofongo, alcapurrias, arroz con gandules, pasteles or some tostones you wont regret any of this local favorites :) Yummmyyyy!!!

Check out some of the islands surrounding it, they have nicer beachs. But, the mesquitos are so bad that you have to use a military issue bug repellant.

not so expensive food, and, still is good, if you like some Mexican tipe of food....

the capital city of Puerto Rico, full of life and flavor, casinos are legal if you are over 18, lots of nightlife music and dance.

During the day there are great places to sightsee, castles, old ships, and of course there's always the pirate legend.

Keep your plane luggage light as the U.S Federal Regulations rarely allow large amounts of luggage on board.
