It is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and serves Puerto Rican specialties. At present, the hotel has 103 rooms, all of them modest in size, with tile floors, small baths, coffeemakers, and hairdryers. Most also open out onto terraces. Plans call for the addition of another 160 rooms. All units in this complex have fully equipped kitchens and washer-dryers, while the larger units add oversize baths and dining areas.
Additional lodging is planned.
The former Palmas Inn, damaged during Hurricane George in 1998, is being replaced by a Regent Hotel and Elizabeth Arden Red Door spa, slated to open in 2002. Restaurants There are roughly a dozen food outlets in Palmas del Mar, ranging for a pizza parlor called the Flying Pizza to a marina-front French bistro called Chez Daniel. As in all the Caribbean, the period from June through November is hurricane season, and although the odds are that you'll successfully dodge any hurricanes, you are much more likely to experience periods of rain, especially in the form of morning and afternoon showers. Palmas del Mar is roughly 40 minutes' drive from San Juan International Airport. General Tourist Information.
