Solo travel experience

Stayed in Ocean Park and Old San Juan. No problem going out after dark. I explored different places in Old San Juan, la Placita, and the Condano area every night after day activities. Every place felt totally safe.

Solo travel experience

I went solo and loved it! I stayed at the Dreamcatcher and it was adorable. Small boutique hotel not a large hotel/resort. Easy Uber to old San Juan. I've also stayed at El Convento in old San Juan. It's cute but wasn't impressed with the rooms or bathrooms at all.
