plaza las americas

largest in the Caribbean--loads of stores (over 300) & restaurants--a very busy place--it is veryclean & decorated very nice--if you go to the information booth with ID showing that you are atourist, you get a free gift & a discount book--you will see most stores here that are in the states--huge food court on the 3rd floor closest to sears--

Plaza Las Americas is a huge indoor mall, to rival any in the US. The mall houses at least five large banks, all different. There is a food court with many of the usual fast food chains, along with some we've never heard of, as well as an old-fashioned market open only on weekends. We were escaping the cold for 3 months, so we had time to get a bus to the mall. Otherwise, who comes to Puerto Rico to go to a mall, right?

We were forced into shopping here by the loss of a suitcase by our airline. It is a very large shopping centre anchored by three big department stores. It had a great display of cars in the walkways when we were there but and it is a big but, when in it you could have been anywhere in the United States. Great if you need to shop but not what most people travel to Puerto Rico for. There is though a small market area with some local goods.It is a short taxi ride from OSJ . As always in Puerto Rico though ask what the fare is going to be before you get in a cab. The fares in the tourist areas are fixed but many drivers will try to take advantage of tourists. We paid $14 to get there ( which was correct) and was then quoted $20 to get back. When I queried this I was then told pay me what you want. I paid 14.

Big mall with all american and some local brands. Regular nice mall....If needs to shop, worth the visit.Good coffee kiosk and few good places to eat.

If you are looking for something more classic stateside then this is a good place they have many chain restaurants including the cheesecake factory. A nice place to do some shopping its very large but somewhat difficult to navigate. Its a short $17 cab ride from most of the hotels.

This mall is large with 3 levels and lots of very different stores, including Macy's, Penny's, and Sears. A lot of high end stores. It is near the center of San Juan; a $20/each way cab ride from Isla Verde. Several nice restaurants and a great Cheesecake Factory.

this is a huge mall, named the biggest mall in the caribbean,i like it! ,a lot of stores but too much americanized, not too much local stores but you can find there whatever you want.The only negative point : Valet Parking service,very bad!!

I visited this great mall on January 3. It was very busy but we have a great time, specially taking my little brother to see the "snow". The update of the food court on the third floor looks nice. As always, geeks like me can find stuff that you can't find in other shopping centers in Puerto Rico like Star Wars collectibles.

We couldn't find my husbands flip flops to pack, so this mall has recommended to us. We found some at PacSun! This mall is three stories! And decorated for Christmas! On Christmas Eve "snow" was dropped from the third floor for a white Christmas in San Juan. It's a typical American mall with all the same stores. I wouldn't waste time here unless I needed something; that need it fulfilled!

This is a nice mall but we were surprised at how Americanized it was... all the stores were exactly the same chains you'd see in the USA. I was kind of hoping there would be more local Puerto Rican stores. (although there was one section tucked way in the back on the third floor that sold local Puerto Rican arts and crafts). It is considered the largest mall in the Caribbean. We were there a few days before Christmas and the mall had lovely Christmas decorations including a section that "snowed". We stopped at the food court and there was a variety of stuff to choose from but once again your typical American fast food chains. Catching a cab to get here from our hotel (The Sheraton on Convention Rd) was quite expensive ($16 each way) and traffic was kind of crazy getting to the mall but that could have been the Christmas rush and not very typical. Overall, it was a fun way to spend a few hours and if you like shopping you will thoroughly enjoy it as there are lots of stores to choose from.

I was on a cruise and we had a one day stop In Puerto Rico,the mall was our first stop and boy,I knew we could not cover this mall with the time we had left.If like me and you are from the Caribbean this mall is nice and has a lot of brand name stores,although we were in a Spanish speaking country the stores I went i,English was spoken and very well.The mall was nice they even had a car show in the mall when I was there ,the mall was nice and Puerto Rico was nice as well I would do it all over again

For you tourist who like to spend on their trips be sure to not forget plaza de las Americas. It's the biggest shopping mall in the Caribbean. And you can get some real nice clothes and souvenirs from some real nice stores such as White House black market loreal pandora and really good quantity stores. Be sure to not miss it's great selection of dinning . If your tired of the tourist traps and our Puerto Rican food be sure to check out some great food places like of changs Cheesecake Factory Applebee's macaronian grill and other real good restaurants. Oh if your looking to swing a movie they have a movie theater with english movies for you american tourist as well as spanish ones. The shopping mall itself is so big you can just go there and walk around contemplating on its beutiful archways fountains squares and all the real good quality stores. Oh and for those chocolate lovers (there's a Godiva store) . But plz if your bored or looking for some great souvenirs go to plaza "el centro de todo"

This mall not only has a movie theater but also has a food court, and many other types of shops. If your in the area I would recommend this mall.

Nice mall outside of city. A little hard to get to without a car. They have a nice movie theater. Would return

This is a really big mall. Lots of top notch stores. There are many interesting places to eat. We were there the week after thanksgiving and there were many great sales. The place was very clean and everyone I encountered was friendly and helpful.There is valet parking for those who would want that. We didn't have any problem finding a good space.
