Are you travelling on a budget? Do you still want to be where the action is? Then consider the Casa del Caribe, in Condado. Located just off the beach, a few blocks from Baldorioty de Castro Highway, it's convenient to Old San Juan and the airport. There are plenty of restaurants nearby, and a 24-hour Walgreens on Ashford Avenue.
The accomodations are pretty plain, without a lot of fancy amenities. The plumbing is less than ideal. But the staff are very friendly and helpful. It's a small place, so they know all their guests. The Casa del Caribe has the feel of staying at a private residence, rather than a big hotel. If you want a nice, quiet place, without spending a lot, it's perfect.
Unique Quality: Location, location, location. Plus the homey atmosphere.
Directions: Just south of the intersection of Ashford and Caribe streets, in front of the Marriott.
$55-80
Unique Quality: This is quite basic really but iff you just want a place to crash after a day of beach and dancing salsa and don't plan of using the common ammenities of modern hotels this is perfect for you. It's just a block away from the beach, in the middle of action but at the same time on a very nice relaxed lateral street. The property has a very nice patio full of tropical trees, a fountain and a big cage with a talking parrot (so please watch your language!!). Guest could take a book from the library and enjoy it under a tree.
My 19 year old daughter just surprised me with a mother-daughter trip to PR for my 53rd birthday!! We leave March 9th for 4 nights. She booked us into the Casa del Caribe and rented an economy car (she's a college student and is doing this on her budget!!!)
I went to PR a few times in the 1970's and stayed at a great little hotel called Duffy's. It looks like Casa del Caribe is the same type of place.
Anyone have any knowledge of this little place?
My daughter and I are hiker/backpacker/low key kind of people (I'm an aging hippie and she is a eco-conscious/cultural adventurer).
We're going to El Yunque and Culebre and seeing Old San Juan. Tell me what has changed since the 1970's and what we should be doing!!!!!!
Thanks!
