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!

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.

Make sure you go during a thursday or friday because in old san juan on fridays they shut down the roads starting around happy hour for the rest of the night for party time in the roads. This place has crazy nightlife and your right on the ocean. Great weekend getaway if you ask me and i have found tickets from miami down for 50 dollars on occassion so always check websites for hot deals.
