Other Things to Note:
LOCATION

Pal Mar is located on Isla Verde Beach, Puerto Rico. This is arguably the best urban beach in the Caribbean. The beach is 1.5 miles long, and the Isla Verde strip has a long list of dining and nightlife options. The apartment is 5 minutes from the airport and has car rentals, supermarkets, a Walgreens, and multiple hotels and casinos within walking distance.

There are many things to do in the surrounding areas; here are some of our favorites:

Chill at the beach! It is one of our favorite beaches in Puerto Rico and a must-do if you stay at Pal Mart. The apartment has beach chairs, towels, and coolers for a long day at the beach.
Lunch or dinner at La Placita de Santurce, a local market with 20+ restaurants and awesome nightlife. We love Santaella restaurant, local cuisine with a modern approach in La Placita.
Shop at  The Mall of San Juan. This brand new mall is a 10-minute drive from the apartment and has excellent shops and dining options.
Explore the El Yunque Rainforest. El Yunque is an easy 30-minute drive from the property and is the only rainforest under US Flagship.
Spend a day in Old San Juan. Pal Mar is a 15 min drive away from the oldest city in all of the US. There is a lot of history and great food and drinks to savor.

UTILITY INTERRUPTIONS

Pal Mar does not have a backup generator or water cistern and unfortunately power and water outages can happen in Puerto Rico. If water or power is interrupted for more than 3 hours, guests will have the option of canceling their reservation and requesting a refund for the nights not used.

TRAVEL INSURANCE

We strongly recommend that all guests purchase travel insurance, especially during the peak months of Hurricane Season, which are July to October. Travel insurance is inexpensive and will reimburse travelers for most expenses associated with canceling travel outside of the cancellation window; however, this will depend on what the coverage purchased covers. Make sure to review and understand the options before purchase. Disclaimer: we are not associated with any travel insurance companies.
