“This adults-only boutique hotel, set in a 16th-century landmark, has an open bar that operates around the clock. Its location in Old San Juan means you're steps away from major attractions, though be prepared for stairs instead of elevators. In my opinion, it's a distinctive choice for couples seeking a cultural and romantic getaway.”
