Youtube channel “AwesomeDocumentary” vlogs about their vacation to Puerto Rico
“Puerto Rico is an Amazing Vacation destination we can’t wait to go back. If you are trying to decide where to stay When traveling to San Juan, I recommend Isla Verde because it has a better beach than the Condado hotel resort area. However there are some really nice resorts in the Condado area and if you are staying at one of those it could be worth checking that area out in the evening for dinner and drinks because it looks like it has a better night scene. After walking around old San Juan and Fortaleza street we got in the car and went for a drive to the Wyndham Grand Rio Mar for the first night which was great because they provided a crib free of charge, a really laid back chill beach, Jimmy Buffet’s 5 o Clock somewhere bar, lots of pools, hot tubs, fire pit, swim up bar and much more. After winning at the casino we opted for the breakfast buffet which was exceptional.
The next day we Drove into el Yunque National Forest and hiked to waterfalls and pools to swim in. Later we drove to Seven Seas Beach and Caroline tried to snorkel but couldn’t see much apparently it was not the best time of year for snorkeling, but the water was much calmer there compared to other parts of the island more exposed to the wind.
The second Night we stayed at the Fajardo Inn Resort which is a great place for kids because it has two Giant pools a waterslide miniature golf, basketball courts, gym, grills, 2 restaurants and a thrifty car rental on site. We wanted to take the ferry to Culebra but it was very windy so we opted to drive south to Yabucoa to Playa El Cocal where we enjoyed another roadside meal. A delicious red beans and rice covered in chopped pork, and shrimp ceviche. The last night we stayed at the Hyatt Place near the convention center San Juan; which features a pretty nice breakfast spread with scrambled eggs, sausage , assortment of cheeses bagels, muffins, ham, turkey, milk, cereal, and fresh squeezed juices.
The next morning after check out we drove to Condado to check out the resort area and have lunch where Caroline had her favorite Puerto Rican meal Mofongo which is smashed up plantains and garlic with the meat of your choosing. From there we drove back to Old San Juan to Explore the old fort and Cemetery. watch the video:
