Hotel El Convento - Old San Juan, Review

After celebrating my parents' 50th wedding anniversary on a 7 night Southern Caribbean cruise, a group of us stayed at El Convento for a few nights. We arranged in advance for my parents to renew their wedding vows at the 400 year old Cathedral which is located across the street from El Convento.

Pros: Rooms are beautiful, spacious, clean, and very comfortable. Atmosphere is very elegant, romantic with authentic old-world charm; It's called El Convento because it was a Carmelite convent over 350 years ago! Restoration of this building was done very well. Great dining on site and nearby. Lot's to do in the vicinity of Old San Juan. Kids were welcomed.

Cons: Pricey but you can find deals on Expedia, etc. Make sure to print out confirmation of  your advance booking pricing and accomodations request to present to front desk. The swimming pool looks nice on the site but is actually the size of a hot tub. Still very quaint though.
