While their kitchen closes at ten, the owner was extremely nice and opened the kitchen back up for us. We got some chicharrones de pollo with carne frita, tostones and papas fritas. The chicharrones de pollo is literally chicken thats chopped up and deep fried, and it was delicious with the mayoketchup sauce. the pickled red onions gave the dish overall some nice acidity as well. Very worthwhile as our first 'street eats' experience in PR.

It got crowded quickly, but we still had plenty of room to dance. Drinks were cheap (we stuck with rum and Coke), and they do offer food, but some of the things we ordered took a while.

One room, the main area had salsa, dancing, and music and eventually at 9:30 PM a live salsa band came on. That was a whole lot of fun however it was very crowded. The second room had a nice house music going on. There was a bar and a DJ and it was not as busy as the main area was. And the third room was the bar that leads to the outside called La Cubanita, which was playing mellow lounge music with a tropical beat. The food at La Factoria was definitely overrated and just OK. I did not think it was worth the price and I probably would not eat there again. None of us really liked what we ordered, but we ate it because well... We were hungry. They do offer a wide range of beverages from your standard beer, wine, and top shelf brands, however, they are known for their own concoctions. All of the drinks we ordered were delicious. Overall, we had fun, and it was not too pricey for the beverages. I don't think that I would ever go again, especially not later in the week as it is so busy, and we went on a Monday and we were dancing cheek to cheek!!! Enjoy!

If you're looking for the perfect dive bar experience in Old San Juan, this place absolutely nails…read moreit. From the moment you walk in, you feel the vibe. It's small, loud, a little gritty, and completely inviting--exactly what a true dive bar should be. The walls are covered in graffiti and stickers from years of visitors leaving their mark, and honestly, that's part of the magic. You can't help but look around and smile at all the personality packed into such a cozy space. One of my favorite details? Look over to the right corner of the bar and you'll spot what looks like a vintage cash register straight out of the 1800s. Then right in the middle of the bar you've got the modern point-of-sale devices. The contrast is hilarious and perfect--old-school charm meeting modern bar life. There's a pool table, plenty of seating for such an intimate spot, and yes, a restroom inside (always appreciated in Old San Juan!). But what really makes this place stand out is the service--the staff is fantastic, welcoming, and they pour seriously strong drinks that are also refreshingly affordable. This is the kind of place where you come for one drink in the afternoon and suddenly the whole evening disappears in great conversation and good vibes. If you're wandering the streets of Old San Juan and want authentic dive bar energy, great drinks, and a place full of character, this is absolutely a must-stop. Highly recommend.

I am incredibly lucky to have found this place, and thanks to the hostel employee who suggested it. I know nothing about the scene in San Jose, but I'm betting it's the only biker rock and roll bar in the city, maybe even the only rock bar. But don't be intimidated by being a biker bar in a dark, warehouse area by the docks, it is a very friendly, chill place, where everyone seems to know each other and party together. Heavy metal seems to the main genre here, but one band was an 80s 90s pop cover band. I enjoyed 2 meals from the little but good quality kitchen, including the Papa's Loco, good bar food. I also splurged on the steak sandwich, it was good, but I'd probably just stick to a hamburger next time.

It's a shame because this establishment has a really good concept, but the actual experience was a…read morecomplete disaster. I came here to celebrate my birthday and unfortunately, they fell short in every possible category. The layout is a major issue. We paid the $10 per person fee for the piano room, only to be squeezed in elbow-to-elbow with strangers. The tables are so tiny I literally had to eat out of my lap to avoid spilling food on my clothes. Even the basic facilities were a struggle; the women's bathroom was so cramped and unaccommodating that I could barely even sit down. When we asked to move to a more comfortable space, the hostess and waitress refused, citing nearby reservations. The kitchen and service were equally disappointing. After waiting over an hour for our entrees, the food arrived mediocre and tasteless. The steak had zero seasoning, and the mashed potatoes were dry and flavorless--essentially just a boiled potato thrown on a plate. The service was the final straw. When I tried to flag down a server to send the potatoes back, he told me he would "get her." When our waitress finally arrived, I explained the issue and she simply replied, "I know." No apology, no offer to bring something else, and no effort to make it right. To be met with that level of rudeness on my birthday was shocking. This was a complete waste of time and money--I won't be returning.

Right in the heart of San Juan, just steps from the convention center, Distrito T-Mobile hits you…read morelike a neon-lit fever dream in the best way possible. This place feels like Puerto Rico's answer to Times Square, with a massive open plaza wrapped in towering LED screens, music pumping, and energy bouncing off every corner. Opened in 2021, it's a 475,000-square-foot playground packed with restaurants, bars, shops, a movie theater, live music venues, and even a zipline flying overhead yeah, you read that right. What makes it special isn't just the flash it's the heartbeat. The central plaza alone is a 360-degree digital spectacle with millions of pixels lighting up concerts, events, and just everyday nightlife, turning it into a gathering spot for locals and travelers alike. Whether you're bouncing between bites, catching a show at the Coca-Cola Music Hall, or just soaking it all in, this is one of those "don't skip it" stops. It's modern San Juan flexing a little loud, bright, and alive and if you're hopping around the city, it's an easy honorable mention that turns into a full-blown night before you even realize it.

It has a bit of a Touristy vibe, especially with nearby Hotels and visiting Cruise Ships, but it's a nice place for everyone to visit non-the-less. They really take security seriously here, with Metal Detectors and a Security Officer at each entrance. Parking is paying, but conveniently close. We were here twice. The first time, it was during the week. We stopped at a Sports Bar to have a couple of drinks (which was nice), but unfortunately, there were no events and it was raining, so we didn't stay long. The second time was on a weekend. There was Live Music and it was bustling with both Tourists and Locals. This was a totally different vibe and we had a great time!! I definitely recommend this place for entertainment, but for the best experience, come whenever there is an Event or Live Music scheduled.

They recommended so many amazing places to eat and shop, in and out of the property. The prices for food on the property were reasonable and there were a lot of different options for food choices. The big Concha restaurant on the property is absolutely gorgeous at night but it is a bit pricier than the other food options on the property. There are 4 pool ameneties you can choose from, with one being adults only. I loved that you have the different pool options. However, I wish the pools were bigger. I felt like it made more sense to have fewer pools but, bigger to fit more people but, we were comfortable in each. The beach is beautiful and every day there were plenty of surfers riding the high tide waves. It wasn't the best beach for swimming since the tide was so high and waves were really strong but, lifeguards are on the property to help those who have trouble getting in and out.

For a hotel charging over $200 per night, I expected much better service and attention to detail. The property showed signs of poor maintenance, including dirty floorboards and dusty areas throughout the resort. The staff was also disappointing.

While the location is excellent, the overall experience fell far short of what I would consider a luxury hotel. Based on my stay, I would recommend saving your money and considering other options.
