Food Scene
Within walking distance of the house. Run by one of the most beautiful souls you will ever meet, Gladys Cuadrado, Las Vistas Cafe offers a full menu of exquisite breakfast and brunch dishes. This is a particularly good spot if you have any dietary restrictions (Vegan, Vegetarian, Gluten Free, or other food allergies). This is not a place for a quick bite, but a place to thoroughly enjoy Puerto Rico and food made with great care. Gladys uses predominantly local ingredients from her garden and the island.

Drinks & Nightlife
This is a new bar on the backside of Suenos del Mar in Las Croabas. The band plays on Thursday-Saturday and Salsa dancing is the dance of the night. There is a full bar, lots of atmosphere and a very nice breeze. Please double check to see if they are still in business since the Hurricane Maria.

You can't go to Puerto Rico without walking through the iconic colorful streets of old San Juan. Go early in the morning, come back in the evening. Park in the Public Garage near the Cruise Ship Port. Have a designated driver and do some iconic bar hopping, shopping and see the forts. Its a great day to be had.

Parks & Nature
Icacos is the best beach near Las Croabas but you must take a water taxi to get there. East Coast Water taxis is who we recommend. Esther and Capt Lucas can accommodate up to 8 passengers at a time and they located down at the pier in Las Croabas. Call them at 787-518-8337. Tell them you are a guest of Villa Turquesa. Pack a cooler with cold beverages and lunch. You can also take a portable grill and some float noodles. We have everything you need at the villa for a trip to the beach or to Icacos.

Beach is 5 minutes from the house by car, 15 minute hike....however, IT IS A HIKE UPHILL ON THE RETURN. I wouldn't recommend it if you have a bunch of stuff with you. There is plenty of space to park on the street unless it's July which is high season for locals. Then you will need to pay $10 to park.

The selection is good, it’s the closet grocery store to the house, and the produce is the freshest you’ll find outside of Costco. However, the fresh produce and meat is much more expensive than Costco so I would make this your destination for smaller groups or fewer days.

Very close to the house. Entrance located on Seven Seas Beach just 5 minutes from the house. An easy hike, but not great for strollers as it is along a sandy/dirt trail.
