Experiences to look forward to in San Juan:
Bioluminiscent bay tour: Puerto Rico is famous for its bioluminescent bays, and San Juan offers easy access to many of them. These professionally planned tours will help you explore the awe-inspiring natural phenomena without any hassle. Laguna Grande Bioluminescent Lagoon is the closest to the city, only 45 minutes away. However, if you wish to see the brightest bay, you need to take a ferry to Vieques and visit Mosquito Bay. For those looking for a less crowded bay, visit La Parguera Bay, where you can even swim in the waters while enjoying the bioluminescence.
El Yunque National Forest tour: A must-visit for nature lovers, this lush rainforest is full of scenic trails and clear natural springs. You can explore the park on your own, as all the trails are marked. Alternatively, have a guide accompany you to discover hidden gems. Several scenic spots in the rainforest are also accessible to guests with limited mobility, with options to take in the views from vehicles.

“Felix’s place is absolutely gorgeous and exceeds what you see in every photo. Everything is super clean and everytime you come back to the apartment it smells so fresh. Felix was very responsive and even put up balloons for my birthday! The space was perfect for me and my friends for the week with everything just a short walk or Uber away! I really couldn’t recommend this apartment more, one of the best air bnb’s I’ve stayed in!” - by Alanna (Hicksville, New York)
“This apartment provided plenty of room for our family of four and was exceptionally clean. The location provides easy walkable access to great restaurants and a beach that was perfect for our young children. A parking space was provided so that we could park our rental car and use it to drive a mere five to ten minutes away to old San Juan. There was a minor issue with keycard access that was not the fault of the hosts, but when it arose, Felix and Michele were extremely responsive and solved the issue for us in minutes. The neighborhood is a bit noisy because it is very popular and fun, but things settled down enough for it not to create any issues with being able to sleep. This was a great place to stay, and we are excited to come back to visit Puerto Rico again.” - by Ryan (Los Angeles, California)

Jacob is very responsive and made sure we had everything we need for our stay.” - by Samantha (Boston, Massachusetts)
“The Penthouse was in a perfect location for us in Old San Juan. It was right next to the square where tour groups met. This square was also the perfect place to get picked up by Uber. Lots of restaurants and easily walkable to all of the historic sights. We enjoyed the balcony with a view of the ocean and cruise ships and nice breeze. The perfect place to relax in the late afternoon after a day of sight seeing. It is a fourth floor walk-up, but we didn’t have any issues. We are carry on only travelers. If you have a lot of luggage, you might want to pack lighter. We had an air conditioning issue while we were there and the host was quick to respond and try to resolve our issue.
