He still plays with the sand bucket and toys lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/san-juan-pr-our-first-family-vacation#post-2217812 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 07:00:02 +0000 hotchildinthecity 2217812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: La Concha and we stayed in an ocean view suite. They even gave J a kite and a little bucket of beach toys when we checked in!</p> <p>Also the people who worked there would play with him every time we went in and out of the hotel. It truly was great service. I stayed there for a girls' trip previously. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/san-juan-pr-our-first-family-vacation#post-2217800 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 06:42:50 +0000 SweetiePie 2217800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds great! We went a few years ago without a kid and loved it, so it's good to hear that it is also a good option with our son.<br /> Which hotel?<br /> We are also firm believers of getting at least 2 rooms when we travel with him so we can still enjoy it after he goes to bed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/san-juan-pr-our-first-family-vacation#post-2217780 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 05:48:25 +0000 hotchildinthecity 2217780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We brought our son (2.5 yo) home seven months ago and this week we were able to take our first family vacation. We were having some trouble with his citizenship/passport so we stayed in the country and went to Puerto Rico. We had a wonderful experience! Flight is 4 hours direct from NYC, we rented a car and stayed on Condado Beach. Puerto Ricans love ninos and everyone was so, so friendly to us and we found most everything to be accommodating to families. We brought a puddle jumper and LO had lots of fun swimming in the resort pools and even tried the ocean. </p> <p>We went to El Yunque rainforest, Luquillo Beach and Old San Juan. </p> <p>We weren't worried about the flight since he had already done a 14 hour flight but that went smoothly as well thanks to kids gear headphones. We stayed in a suite with two rooms so he slept in one room and we were able to hang out on the balcony and in the bedroom at night. We got the Shrunks inflatable toddler bed and he loved it. The kitchen was helpful for storing snacks and drinks and heating things up. </p> <p>I think my LO is an exceptionally easygoing traveler but if anyone is looking for a family friendly vacation, I would definitely recommend PR! </p>
