Wanted to see Atlantis and it's casino. My wife could not see or access the beach because we were not staying there. Staff not very accommodating. She returned to the ship after only 30 minutes at Atlantis. The casino was very disappointing! Many machines would not accept money or their own voucher printed tickets. Minimum bet amounts were ridiculous. Very, very disappointing. Food was also very overpriced and subpar!

Very historical because of French and Dutch influences. Took an island bus tour and was very interesting.

Over 300 jewelry stores on main street. Good deals can be had for a hard negotiator.

San Juan is a dump. It was really disappointing.
