Top Tips
- Confirm ADA-accessible or step-free rooms before booking in Old San Juan, as many boutique hotels have stairs with no elevators. Major chains in Condado or Isla Verde typically offer elevators, ADA-compliant rooms, and accessible drop-off areas; request specific access needs during booking or pre-arrival.
- Expect USD billing at all major hotels and businesses; choose USD for chip card transactions to avoid extra fees. Most hotels accept contactless payment; carry small bills for tips - US$1 to US$3 for bellhops or US$2 to US$5 for housekeeping is common.
- Rates and hotel occupancy rise up to 50% near the San Sebastián Street Festival (mid- to late January). Book 2 to 4 months ahead to secure on-property cultural amenities or guided tours, as inventory is limited citywide during event periods.
- Hurricane season spans June to November, with storm disruptions peaking August to October. Opt for refundable rates and trip insurance. Ask your hotel about hurricane preparedness plans or emergency generator access, especially if visiting during these months.
- Request confirmation that your hotel provides whole-building backup power; check which services (e.g., lifts, hot water, medical-device charging) remain available during outages, as smaller properties may only cover partial amenities.
- Condado and Isla Verde provide modern beachfront hotels with step-free sand access and ADA-compliant amenities. Many large hotels also rent accessible beach chairs and feature boardwalks - ask at booking to reserve inclusive facilities.
- Official airport taxi rides from SJU to San Juan hotels cost US$15 to US$21. Ride-hailing apps are also available - confirm pickup locations via app or arrange a hotel shuttle (often available at major chains). Always verify fare estimates before accepting.
- For remote work, confirm wired internet or premium Wi-Fi speed; top hotels can provide business centers or dedicated co-working areas upon request. Ask for a speed test or specify quiet-floor placement for best productivity.
- Tipping mirrors US norms: 15 to 20% for restaurants, US$2 to US$5 for valet or bell service at hotels. Some properties add service charges (10 to 18%) to the bill - always check your receipt to confirm if gratuity is already included.
