LOCATION
Playa Bonita is located on Isla Verde Beach, Puerto Rico. This is arguably the best urban beach in the Caribbean. The beach is 1.5 miles long, and the Isla Verde strip has a long list of dining and nightlife options. The apartment is 5 minutes from the airport and has car rentals, supermarkets, a Walgreens, and multiple hotels and casinos within walking distance.
There are many things to do in the surrounding areas; here are some of our favorites:
Chill at the beach! It is one of our favorite beaches in Puerto Rico and a must-do if you stay at Playa Bonita. The apartment has beach chairs, towels, and coolers for a long day at the beach.
Alambique beach bar - great casual food on the beach a couple of doors down. We love the fish tacos and the local Ocean Lab Brewery Mambo beer. Head there early to beat the crowds. For a very special occasion, book ahead on Opentable for an epic tasting menu meal at Marmalade in Old San Juan.
You can book fitness classes and massages at the el San Juan hotel a few doors down, including beach yoga for $15.
Buy any groceries and anything else you need at the local Pueblo grocery store, CVS, and Walgreens - all within walking distance and open 24/7.
For a low-key, relaxing beach day, consider sitting under the palm trees when it’s too windy to use a beach umbrella. The shade and breeze are amazing!
Shop at The Mall of San Juan. This brand new mall is a 10-minute drive from the apartment and has excellent shops and dining options.
Explore the El Yunque Rainforest. El Yunque is an easy 30-minute drive from the property and is the only rainforest under US Flagship.
Spend a day in Old San Juan. Playa Bonita is a 15 min drive away from the oldest city in all of the US. There is a lot of history and great food and drinks to savor.
