puerto rico: I am going to Puerto Rico next tuesday and I have looked for cheap hostals in San Juan but they are all over 100 US dollars per day, which it is very expensive for me. I am planning to stay 6 days there. Can you give a good tip ?|||I don't think staying in a hostel is a good idea. I suggest checking out some of the vacation rentals that are rented out from private owners. They are cheaper than hotels & much nicer. Check out what I found! GOODLK! This is in Ocean Park(which is a section of San Juan) for $57 per night: http://puertorico.craigslist.org/vac/381鈥?/a> This is in Isla Verde(a section of San Juan) for $65 per night: http://puertorico.craigslist.org/vac/380鈥?/a> This is in Rio Piedras(a section of San Juan- But Not the nicest area) for $45 per night: http://puertorico.craigslist.org/vac/376鈥?/a> Old San Juan(San Juan) for $50 per night: http://puertorico.craigslist.org/vac/369鈥?/a> San Juan $65 per night: http://puertorico.craigslist.org/vac/364鈥?/a> Ocean Park(San Juan) $69 per night: http://puertorico.craigslist.org/vac/364鈥?/a> You can check this site & put in your maximum price to see listings. It is cheaper to stay in towns outside of San Juan, but then you would need to rent a car. ENJOY PR!|||Caribe Hilton has no casino so I believe it should be a bit less their number is 1-787-721-0303 Comfort Inn In Condado 1-787-721-0170 Holiday Inn San Juan 1-787-253-9000 Howard Johnson Hotel Isla Verde 1-787-728-1300 this one is in Isla Verde. Isla Verde is only about 5-10 minutes from the Airport Howard Johnson Hotel in Old San Juan 1-787-722-9191 These are the ones that do not have casinos only Howar Johnson of Isla Verde. But I believe it is cheeper than Normandie, Ritz, Convento, Embassy Suits. These have casinos. Call ASAP and check the prices and enjoy your stay here. Bienvenida=Welcome|||Well, first of all, stay away from the Condado strip. With hotels like La Conche and Holiday Inn and others, you're looking at VERY pricey rooms. If you don't mind walking around to see some of the sights, there was a Best Western and a Travelodge, not too far outside of the strip. They're not along the beach, but they are within walking distance of one. (keep in mind, it's been a while since I was last there.) For some fun sights, arrange a tour to the Bacardi Rum Factory. Granted, the smell of Black Strap is strong, but that's how they make rum. lol Also be sure to check out the forts. They say that one of the towers, overlooking the bay at El Morro, is haunted. The tower is called "The Devil's Tower". But the view from there is FANTASTIC. San Cristobal isn't as big as El Morro, but it's fairly close to the Condado strip. I hope you can find the kind of hotel you want, and I hope you have a blast. Just remember, their "schedules" are more like "suggestions", unless you're talking tour groups, then they stick to that. Let us know how you fared.|||Not in San Juan ..but Carolina 3 minutes from the Airport..
