I stayed right on Condado beach, but if you are not a strong confident swimmer, i DO NOT recommend this particular beach for you as the currents will suck you up and spit you out in one swoop! Beautiful surroundings and vibrant neighborhood but the beach is no good for children and weak swimmers. More

I'm not sure what people are complaining about. It's an absolutely gorgeous view with lots of local flavor. Chairs and shady spots are available. More

the currents were a bit rough when we visited but the beach was still beautiful. The sand was clean. But I wish there was a lifeguard on duty. I was a bit nervous for the other younger swimmers. More

This beach was super disappointing. So many better ones in Puerto Rico. It is jam packed with beach chairs and tourist. Not impressed. The actually beach is not that pretty in comparison to others. Good if you like hip hotels and service as you lie on the beach..just not my thing More

Reminds me a little of Miami Beach with all the hotels and condos lined up. The beach is nice and the Atlantic is beautiful. More
