Cut Loose in San Juan

If you are young or just young at heart and are ready to live it up and have a great time, you should definitely consider a getaway to the tropical Caribbean Island of Puerto Rico. Also called the Island of Enchantment, this tropical paradise offers visitors exotic beauty including miles of dusty white sandy beaches with crystal clear waters, breathtaking mountains, lush tropical valleys and numerous other natural wonders. Everything from high end luxury resorts to small, privately owned hotels await to accommodate visitors to the Island.

To many visitors delight, when the rest of the world goes to sleep, the Island wakes up. Puerto Rico and especially it’s capital city San Juan, is known for its amazing nightlife and provides a party paradise for locals and visitors alike. In fact, most would say it has some of the best nightlife in the world, as the nights here don’t end until the sun rises.

As you head out for the evening expect to be entertained as your taste buds come alive. Bring plenty of cash with you to pay for food and drinks as island food and drink is pricey. No matter what city you are in, get ready to experience the night of your life.

Local bars are big on entertainment and visitors can expect to find local bands playing live music. Island music is a favorite and the setting is perfect for it. As the music plays get ready to enjoy hot Latin dances including the salsa, performed by locals.

If island music and Latin dancing is not for you, don’t fret. There are plenty of other night life options for you to pick from. Retro clubs, jazz bars and even sports bars line the streets. You will certainly have time to check out a few places as the night wears on.

Rum, of course, is the alcohol of choice on the island. Get ready to taste the Island’s specialty, potent rum beverages. Drinks are all freshly made with mojitos and rum punches being the favorites.  Don’t worry if you prefer other types of alcoholic beverages as just about everything under the sun is available.

One of my favorite nightspots in all of the Caribbean is Club Brava.  Located in the El San Juan Hotel and Casino this hot spot has been the place to party with Puerto Rico’s elite for many years.  You’ll find the young crowd dressed to impress as the hotel and club enforces a semi-formal dress code.  The action does not really get going until after midnight. 787-641-3500

Another longtime favorite nightspot is Club Lazer.  Named after the special lazer effects inside, Lazer is known for it’s raggaeton and hip hop.  Enjoy this hip nightspot in Old San Juan. 787-725-7581

If raggaeton is what you are searching for search no more – head on over to Club Flow on Ponce de Leon Avenue.  You’ll find talented bands here with the volume pumped up.  Watch out – this place is young and hot, hot, hot.
