Creator's Key Takeaways

Could not recommend enough checking this place out when you're in San Juan.

Of all the trips I've had, specifically, well, on this trip, Santiella takes the cake.

This was better. But this is this probably goes in the tier of top five. I'd have to think about it, but top five places I've eaten ever.

If you're in San Juan, do not miss out on Sante.

YouTube Video Description

As we continue our trip through the Caribbean aboard Royal Caribbean’s Icon of the Seas we make a stop in San Juan, Puerto Rico. We take a little walk through old San Juan. Grab some coffee at a local spot. Then head over to the restaurant Santaella. It is truly a memorable meal and I would even say one of the better meals I’ve ever had. We head back on board and grab some cruise naps before dinner in the Windjammer Buffet. After dinner the parents escape the kiddos for some adult comedy and Crazy Quest.
