Location, location, location.
We chose Condado because it perfectly captures the elegant, effortless energy of San Juan. Steps from the ocean, lined with palm trees and boutique hotels, this neighborhood blends beachside relaxation with a cosmopolitan feel that’s hard to find anywhere else on the island.
Here, mornings start with the sound of waves and a walk along the beach — just across the street — followed by an espresso from one of the chic cafés nearby. Within minutes, you can shop designer boutiques, unwind at oceanfront bars, or dine at some of the city’s most celebrated restaurants.
Our favorites within walking distance include
Orozco’s – classic Puerto Rican comfort food with a local touch.
Cocina Abierta – creative, high-end dining with bold Caribbean flavors.
STK San Juan – modern steakhouse with ocean views and great cocktails.
Cayo Caribe – casual, fresh seafood and relaxed island vibes.
Café Regina – perfect for breakfast or a slow coffee with a view.
What we love most is the balance — Condado offers sophistication and energy, yet the beach is always within sight, and the pace always feels easy. It’s a neighborhood made for those who want to experience the best of San Juan in style, without ever losing that island warmth.
