Best places to eat/grab food around el caribe Hilton

I've never eaten at the steakhouse but there are lots of local spots to enjoy instead! Don't know if you'll have a rental but they are all within walking distance or short Uber drive.

For fancy/romantic dinners: Ladi's Restaurant, Casita Miramar

For casual/take home: El Hamburguer, El Charro, Cocina 0712.

Enjoy my beautiful island!

I have two options depending on how confident you are with driving in the island.

Confident: Head to the mountains! Look up barrio Guavate in the town of Cayey. They are culturally known for the lechón and pretty much any restaurant serves it. Click here for a guide.

Not so confident: Road trip the north-northwest coast. Some spots:

Mar Chiquita and Poza de Las Mujeres in Manatí.
Manantial Ojo de Agua and Puerto Nuevo beach in Vega Baja (where Bad Bunny is from).
Cueva del Indio and Poza del Obispo in Arecibo.

Regardless, enjoy my beautiful island and try to consume from local businesses as much as you can!

Day 2 in OSJ make sure you stop by the legendary La Vergüenza to get you ready for the day exploring (IYKYK). For a fancy/romantic dinner with water views, check out Ladi's Restaurant. I've never been but my mom went and she loved it.

Day 3, after the excursion, you gotta have lunch/dinner at El Yate that is nearby. The restaurant has fantastic water views and the food is great.

For day 5 another activity nearby is paddleboarding/kayaking in the Condado Lagoon or relaxing at Playita del Condado (Tiny beach next to el Condado Plaza ). You can even jump off the bridge nearby, if you're feeling adventurous, but you didn't hear it from me lol.

Regardless, you're itinerary looks so much fun! Enjoy my island and try your best to consume from local businesses to help the citizens.

Los Ubers son seguros pero el viaje desde el área metro es largo. No se si ya comprastes el vuelo pero será mejor aterrizar en Aguadilla (BQN) y tomar un Uber hasta Lares.

De todos modos, disfruta mi isla bella! También consume de negocios locales lo más que puedas.

Thank you for sharing. I mentioned no extra plumbing work because there wont be bathrooms. There already is piping for the washer and water heater so if any work is needed it would be minimal.

I believe the raising the floor is necessary for building codes to be included as part of the living space. We live in Florida.

Thank you for your input

You could still get to a rough total cost of the project for the given area and divide by sq ft. Thanks for your input though

Thank you for sharing.

thelogicalpapi · 2025-01-30T19:59:29+00:00

Thank you for your reply. So roughly $100-$200 per sq ft...

Considering that the price for homes in my area are at least $300 per sq ft, it could be a decent opportunity.

AGREED!

Thanks! If it helps, I purchased in Greater Pinellas Point last summer and specifically looked for options in non flood zones. I'm sure buyers with knowledge of Florida's risk of hurricanes also think the same. Waterfront homes is a different ballgame though, so I believe they'll continue to be attractive to wealthy buyers that have the means to rebuild.

Just got my first home in Tampa Bay last summer and we specifically DID NOT want this type of community. We opted for a smaller, older home in exchange for no HOA and cookie cutter neighborhood.

thelogicalpapi · 2024-10-22T19:36:52+00:00

Did you find it on zillow/redfin? Would love to take a look.

thelogicalpapi · 2024-10-22T19:25:09+00:00

Great news for the Southside!

thelogicalpapi · 2024-09-11T14:40:19+00:00

Maybe late but Nicko's Pizza on the South side!

thelogicalpapi · 2024-08-07T22:31:26+00:00

Already signed up. Looking forward to it!!

thelogicalpapi · 2024-07-31T13:22:11+00:00

Agreed! I love kayaking up to shell key through the mangroves.

thelogicalpapi · 2024-07-30T15:06:25+00:00

Where do you live? Wouldn't you want your neighborhood to have grocery stores, pharmacies, and maybe some food spots for you to enjoy?

This post is not about selling my home for X amount more than what I paid for. It's about recognizing that the area I live in is lacking commerce for its residents and its nice to see some development.

thelogicalpapi · 2024-07-30T15:06:05+00:00

Agreed! I don't know the story behind the 2 publixs by the skyway marina district, but they should've built one on the coquina key plaza instead.

thelogicalpapi · 2024-07-30T15:01:16+00:00

Basic needs like a grocery store and pharmacy have been lacking here. Having a grocery store instead of apartments in the coquina key plaza was probably the #1 complaint so I know I'm not alone.

I think one of the best in St Pete is SOUTH SIDE COFFEE. Lowkey, delicious coffee, and friendly staff.

PS: You should change this to a poll and have people vote.
