Nothing beats a baby-cation and Caribe Hilton was where my hubby and I stayed at. It is also where the WORLD-FAMOUS Pina Colada was invented, or so they say! First of all, Caribe Hilton has its own private beach although it is not completely sandy. You can still do some skinny dip even though hard core swimming is not generally recommended here. There is also a gorgeous pool where you can enjoy the clear water. Be aware of loving couples and young children who tend not to move around much in here. There is a pool side bar that builds right inside the pool. So, if you want to swim while drunk, you can do that easily :)

The room itself is spacious and kept clean. You could tell the hotel has some history to it but in general it is clean and very closely located to Old San Juan. You can take a bus right outside the hotel for 30 cents per trip! Just be aware the trip to San Juan is short and semi-ghetto. You will see the run down buildings and ghetto on the ride. We fortunately had no issues riding the bus!

The Pina Colada Cafe where the drink was legendly invented is a reliable on-site restaurant. They serve Puerto Rican dishes such as Mofongo and it is very delicious. The price is as if you were dining in a NYC cafe/restaurant. Nothing surprises me as a New Yorker.

In the lobby bar, they have live performance during the weekends and happy hour during the day. It is a great place to chill after you hang out at the pool/beach all day and don't want to trek out to Old San Juan. After all, there isn't much in walking distance around the hotel other than a Subway and an Puerto Ricanized Chinese restaurant.

Would love to come back again for a family trip!
