VC Lounge at the Condado Vanderbilt is an elegant hideaway right by the ocean—perfect for unwinding with a drink and incredible sunset views. From the moment you walk in you’re treated with respect. They kick things off by bringing you water without you even asking or paying extra.
The back terrace facing the Atlantic is stunning. Watching the sun dip behind the ocean while you sip is worth the visit alone.
They do complimentary bar snacks—nuts, olives, and cumin kettle corn—and they are surprisingly good. Not basic, but thoughtfully curated to match the vibe.
I ordered an Old Fashioned and my partner had an Aperol Spritz. Yeah the drinks run around $20 apiece, but trust me, the service, the view, and the quality make it worth every cent. When I asked for two Luxardo cherries in my Old Fashioned, they went above and delivered with four. Didn’t need four, but that’s how you earn loyalty.

She put some gloves on and did not stop until she got both of the objects!!!! For ever will be grateful!!!! If you go, ask for Veronica she’s really nice, positive and...
Read moreMy partner and I returned to El Condado, Vanderbilt Hotel in San Juan, PR and once again, we are not disappointed.
I want to start by commending Christian who works at the VC Lounge, he is the main reason we return to the lounge. He makes us feel like VIP and ensures we are happy with the food, beverages and service.
This to me comes a long way. I don’t like trying new places, tend to return to places where the service, food and atmosphere are tops! This is what Christian brings to the table.
Also, want to say thank you to Juancarlo Vazquez, as he ensured our accommodations were in order. Thank you, thank you, thank you to Christian...
