This is personal to me. I hate rich companies buying land then building a wall around it and making it difficult for locals to profit from tourism . Amber Cove is great is you don't care about authenticity. Sorry, but it isn't until you get outside the walls that you see real life. The locals we met were simply wonderful.

We spent a week in the area and visited Cape Canaveral a few years ago. It is a very interesting area with lots of attractions.

This time we loved just walking around and visiting the old fort on our own and exploring the plaza etc without any guide. Next time however, this is one place we will take the tour to learn more about the history of the place. It will take several visits to come close to getting our fill of San Juan and we are discussing a family vacation just here. Beautiful place and people.

This experience is much like Amber Cover including the wall. However there is a beach and that is where we played. Also did shopping inside the walls this time. Next time we are making our ESCAPE to see the real island and to support the locals. Do NOT like this wall building business!!!
