► Nap-Time Version: Bananas Beach Bar and Grill gets our family pick for where to eat before your Bioluminescent Bay tour on the island of Vieques.
There is no telltale sign of a beautiful oasis hidden on the other side of a dense jungle, a silky soft black sand beach in Puerto Rico except for an itty bitty wooden sign off the side of the road with a small hand drawn arrow pointing towards a narrow staircase
In fact, it’s quite likely if you don’t know...
Much like Los Pinos Café, Restaurante El Hamburguer comes highly recommended by locals in San Juan. It is within walking distance to the best family beach and not too far from Old Town San Juan. The restaurant doesn’t look like much, and the food is not entirely picturesque; in fact, when they brought out our order with the onions...
Of course we couldn’t say no to stopping for ice cream. We’d been traversing the island of Vieques all day, ran into the local Latter Day Saint missionaries and chatted for some time and then accompanied them to what they suggested was the best pizzeria on the island, only to find that it was closed! After our absolute disappointment...
One of the things our family loves about having a branded credit card that rewards you with points to a specific hotel chain is that you always know what to expect. Our family stays at Hyatt Place hotels never disappoint. True, the suspense and adventure of traveling to foreign destination and deciding on an airbnb simply by the inflated...

The three older kids and I were swimming in the ocean at family beach Balneario El Escambrón. The beach here is protected by a coral reef that creates a half moon circular...
A trip to the Caribbean means water, at least for our family. We pack just one or two outfits for the trip and plan on spending the entire time in our swimsuits covered in sand. We might leave for an hour or two to get some food, but all that is second to jumping over waves, digging holes in...
You know who to ask for restaurant recommendations? Taxi drivers. This isn’t some huge revelation, I know that, but somehow our family always seems to forget this nugget of gold when we travel someplace new. Los Pinos Café was our revelation in San Juan, Puerto and they serve the best churrasco we’ve ever had!

Why visit one island paradise when you can visit three or more with Vieques Ferry? All you need is $2 and 20 minutes! The islands of Puerto Rico consist of the main island, Vieques, and Culebra and it couldn’t be easier, or cheaper, to navigate between them.
