Gay Neighbourhoods
- Plan to stay in one of the most popular neighbourhoods, each with a distinct vibe: Condado, Old San Juan, or Santurce.
- The Condado neighbourhood is the most centrally located and offers the greatest hotel options. It is also within walking distance to the “gay beach” (between Calle Vendig and Condado Avenue) and home to a popular meeting point, Oasis Bar.
- Old San Juan transports you back in time with 500 years of history and colourful Spanish colonial architecture.
- Santurce neighbourhood is the art and nightlife nexus of San Juan, a 15-minute drive to Old San Juan and a 5-minute drive to Condado. Santurce is home to the daytime pool parties and bbq during Beary Boricua.
