Pineapple Queen and San Juan Puerto Rico

Ok run don't walk and eat here! This place is so popular they run out of the good stuff fast. We went here twice and the food is so good. I ordered the stuffed Avocado. Omg the largest Avocado I have ever seen! The Empanadas will knock your socks off they are amazingly yummy. We got the meat variety and the Cheese and Guava ones. So good we order extra to take for the drive around the island. Come hungry portions are huge.

Sandy beach did not make it here. Suggested by locals.

This was one of my favorite place to have lunch at. Right on the beach. Great burgers and I loved the Plantains. Everything on their menu looked incredible.

Fun area to explore right by the tunnel

Butterfly wall! OK I loved this! I could have played with the art for an hour. Fun pictures and fun Selfie opportunity. There is a food truck usually parked here, smelled delicious but we didn't try. Definitely stop here and take some pics!

I would not go out of my way to see however if it's on the way it's worth a quick stop. You must stop at guard shack to get permission to enter. Park and then walk up. It's a business sight and very busy. Visit should only take 15 to 20 minutes. Some areas were muddy be careful where you step.

Stop 2 in Ponce. This is the fountain to enjoy while you are eating your wrap from the food truck. This fountain and park is so beautiful. Grab your huge wrap from the food truck across the street and head here to sit and eat it and enjoy this beautiful fountain. You are very close to the Fire station and the Fox Hotel. I recommend splitting a wrap they are so yummy and so big. Food truck is listed on list.

This was too funny... come to Puerto Rico and go to BK! Lol. But they have great bathrooms, wifi and air conditioning! Partner that with good Ole fashion burger and we welcomed the midday break to rejuvenate from the heat. Located right downtown in old San Juan.

Recommend but did not experience

Atv. This looks like so much fun. Didn't make it here but next time we will.

Lunch didn't try but was recommended

Absolutely one of my favorite restaurants in old San Juan! We met the owner Jose and a really awesome server, Grant. Grant was amazing! He sat down with us with the map and marked all the places we should go see and do. My cup of coffee was so delicious and when the food came it was outstanding. Great vibe here I'll definitely be back!

Great views. The gardens are small but beautiful. The tour was OK. Included in the tour is going to the giant cross. They closed before we could go but it looked great to go see. Also with the tour there is a small bird, turtle, butterfly exhibit. Make sure and ask how to access it. No butterflies right now only couple birds and some turtles and the skinniest chicken I've ever seen! I'm not sure I would do the tour again. Maybe just walk around the outside and take pictures. I guess due to covid they no longer have the Rum tastings. The Cross looked fun... not sure if you can buy it separately to experience.

Light house recommended by locals. Did not see.

Great place to have wonderful donuts the locals told us. We didn't make it here. I'm so bummed. Next time...

Stop 4 in Ponce Fox hotel. Loved loved this funky cool hotel. We loved it so much we came back to do 360 filming of it. This would be such a fun place to stay. The lobby is so eclectic. Highly recommend this place. The firehouse is near by along with an amazing food truck. All listed in my lists

This light house we did not make it to. It was suggested by locals to go here.

Car rental. All locals suggested this is the best place to rent a car from. We had already rented our car before we found this out.

This is a must see. Beautiful views. Wear comfy shoes. It can get pretty hot here I recommend going closer to when they open.

Cool to see. Saw during the free San Juan Walking Tour. Book here. I highly recommend! https://www.osjfreetour.com/

Big locals place. Speaking Spanish would be very helpful here.

Fun town to see recommend by locals.

We were regulars here! Fanciest BR I have ever seen! Clean. Safe. Air conditioned. They even pipe in music outside. Great Sundays!

Stop 1 in Ponce. This is the food truck to eat at when you go to ponce and see the Fire Station and The Fox Hotel. OK this place knocked our socks off it was so amazing. We got the wrap it was HUGE. I wish there was a way to have a bunch of these and send them home. We ordered one for 11 bucks and split it. It was huge. The taste is out of this world good. I've never tasted anything like it. You just simply need to try it for yourself. Go to the town of Ponce and order one. Go sit at the fountain... it is here on the list. Eat and enjoy then walk to see the Fire station then over to the Fox Hotel. A perfect day in San Juan!

Incredible to see

Best local food didn't try but it was recommended.

Didn't try but locals recommend

Stop 3 in Ponce. Go here after you eat at the food truck and enjoy the fountain. This is a fun funky Fire station. It rained that day so we couldn't go in for safety reasons but you can see everything just standing in front. After you eat your burrito/ wrap at the fountain walk here then over to the Fox Hotel.

Apple donuts we were told was amazing here. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

Waterfall. Recommend but not visited.

Good BBQ but honestly skip this and head to the Bebos Cafe instead

We heard this place had amazing sweets. Didn't make it here but will next time!

Waterfall. Did not see but locals recommend.

This at first seemed a little sketchy. Locals were looking at us but no one bothered us. We had a hard time finding parking. After driving up and down we found a spot in front of someone's house. We walked a few blocks over to all the painted walls. It was really fun and cool to take pictures and walk around. Fun art Murals hidden around. Locals made some icy pops for a buck I recommend trying. I forgot the name of them but you will see a sandwich board hand written behind bars of a local's house. She passes the popsicle through the bars. It was tasty on a hot day and I felt good to donate to the locals. We were here about an hour and got some cool images. I would come back and explore here again. It appeared occasionally they sell local food here or have events sometime.

Recommend but not visited

I really wanted to see this place. Didn't make it to this side of the island. Many people recommend this place to us.

Light house recommend by locals. Did not personally visit.

Beach tunnel was so much fun to go to. Great beach! Fun to walk through the tunnel. Loved the Murals and the swing.

Sights to see! I loved this place. Make sure you wear either hiking boots or good tennis shoes. The rocks are very jagged! If you plan on going inside the caves I would recommend hiking light weight pants and packing water and maybe a snack. I would travel with a buddy for safety into the cave. I didn't go in because I was fearful of getting out and I didn't have the right gear. Still was amazing to see the views here! There are porta potties in the parking lot. A guide charges 10 per person and shares with you where to go for the best experience along with showing you pictures on where to go. To the left are the caves and to the right are the 7 arches. Absolutely beautiful. This hike would not be recommended for elderly or someone who is out of shape. The hike up is a little steep. I would not recommend for little ones either. The holes drop straight down into deep caves. You must watch where you step at all times. I had no problem with the hike and watching my step and I'm in average shape. The views here are stunning and literally you could spend the entire day here. Hence the snack and or bringing lunch. You also have access to a private beach area which is absolutely stunning! The is a must see!

This place had the best little local treats. Nothing fancy to look at but darn good treats.

We did not make it to this location but it came highly recommend.

This looked amazing but we didn't make it here.

Dinner. Great place. Excellent food. The views are amazing from here. We came at night and it was still spectacular. I ordered the chicken and rice stuffed pineapple and it was Excellent. Not huge portions but great taste. You can't beat this view!

Waterfall. Recommend but not visted.

We wanted to go zip lining here but never made it. I was skeptic about their reviews. Seemed a little sketchy.

Everyone raved about this place. Sadly another to do for next time.

Recommend to stop but only saw from a distance.

Did not make it here suggested by locals.

This place came highly recommend and is the home of the original Pinas Coladas. We loved the vibe and atmosphere but the food was just OK. I would go just for drinks and maybe some Tapas. Expensive though.
