Maybe a hotel that offers beach weddings? We'd like to keep the ceremony simple and inexpensive (under $500). Any recommendations?
    Several hotels are located on beaches though in PR there are no private beaches so you may have people milling about and you may not find any cute arbors, gazebos, etc. The San Juan Water club was inexpensive if I remember correctly. El San Juan has a neat gate looking out on the beach but is right off the pool area. Maybe you can get a permit?(for an arbor or something) and hire a judge to do the ceremony. In the Condado area there are several hotels really close to the beach that would be great for dinner/reception.

    Ms. Sunshine, I don't know if this will be a barrier but when DH and I first started planning our PR wedding we also looked at marrying at Catedral San Juan Bautiste however both parties needed to be Catholic and I was not. I did not want to convert so we ruled it out. This may have changed though, it's always worth a look! I also found El Convento's fees very comprable to other top rated hotels and they were ALWAYS prompt and courteous unlike some other facilities.

    (Hey Jennifer/MsSunshine!!! It's Shellie!)
    The Normandy and Marriot are next to the ports. Old San Juan is a very small area though so you would mmost likely be safe with any of the other hotels.

    I think "villas" would be more economical because people can group together & split the cost.
    They can be located pretty much anywhere. I want my guests to be able to experience San Juan & other parts of the island.

    Thanks for any feedback!!!
    The only villas that I know about, are the ones at Villa Sevilla. I have no idea if they are any good, I haven't booked anything with them (but I am thinking about it for our honeymoon)

    Here is their website: Welcome to Villa Sevilla Guest House, Rio Grande, Puerto Rico

    Here is their tripadvisor page: Welcome to Villa Sevilla Guest House, Rio Grande, Puerto Rico

    As for other Inns in San Juan, I have heard good things about The Gallery Inn and The Coqui Inn. There are of course the more typical cheaper options like Holiday Inn, Howard Johnson.

    I would really recommend you by the Frommer's Guide to Puerto Rico-- they have really great advice and recommendations for where to stay in PR that fits ALL budgets.

    Look in the Condado area. Its just outside of San Juan and much cheaper. I love At Windchimes Inn for the price, service, and location. They also have a sister hotel that is about a year old called Acacia Inn. The Gallery Inn is way too expensive and difficult to deal with-see my review for details.
