Eighty 20 Bristo
Against the backdrop of a minimalist dcor in shades of black, white, and orange, this South Beach-inspired bistro features a cuisine that ranges from modern interpretations of classics, such as the Baby Kobe Burgers, to full on fusion dishes such as the Grilled Caribbean Jerk Shrimp with Coconut Risotto and Pineapple 'Pico de Gallo'.
In the bistro tradition, a great variety of salads, sandwiches, and tapas are among the menu offerings at this San Juan restaurant at the Verdanza Hotel.
Damin Hernandez, Chef de Cuisine, is a classically-trained chef who has mastered the art of blending 'haute cuisine' with his own homegrown spin using locally-grown ingredients such as root vegetables, fresh fruits and herbs. Chef Damin oversees the kitchen for the Eighty20 Bistro.

A shaded veranda allows clients to sit outdoors as the sunset gives way to the nightlife Isla Verde, Puerto Rico.

The hotel is very close to the old city, the rain forest and the camuy caves. The maximum you might have to drive is about 40 minutes. Don't forget to bring your GPS with you. If you are from continental USA your GPS will work in PR.

Hospitable Staff

The staff were very personable, and willing to assist when needed. On our second night there, the hot water in our room stopped working. We were provided another room temporarily, and immediately upgraded to a better room on the following morning.... I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, and will book there in the future.

good value!

First floor rooms by the pool are not the best; high traffic, noise, and bathrooms are very small. I requested a change and it was perfect. The location is great (nearby the airport, restaurants and casinos). Plus a taxi to San Juan/Condado is a 15 mins ride! The staff was great!!

The Embassy, San Juan, and Intercontinental are minutes away walking. They tend to have great activities during the weekend (live music and dancing)... stay at Verdanza, enjoy the activities and save $$$.

A Great Hotel, In an OK Spot

This hotel is very good. I had a nicely laid out room. Attention to detail in free WiFi, towel presentation, etc. However the towels in the bathroom were dirty and the ice machine, 2 rooms distance away from me kept me awake absolutely all night. If they gave up a room on each floor to house the noisy thing they would have a lot happier customers! I did not eat at the bar/dinner restaurant but did have breakfast which while not cheap was nicely done. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, except when the hot water shut off at 7am and I had a flight to catch and no-one could give me a better answer than to have a cold shower for the next 2 hours - surely resorts of this standard should have backup systems for something as important as the boilers.

Money-saving tip: Short walk from hotel

The beach while not directly accessible from the hotel really is just one block away and it really does make it better value than paying up for the 200metres!

Excellent Hotel

Everything was exceptional. Very nice location with restaurants within 2-4 blocks. Walgreens also very close by if needed. Airport 5 minutes away and cruise Ship pier 20 minutes away. Taxis very reasonable. Extremely satisfied with the entire experience.

Verdanza

Friendly staff, Nice Lobby/pool area, and restaurants in site. Stayed in the Pool/Garden rooms and was dissapointed since bathroom is really small and dated. Same with the walls. There was room service plates near the doors of other rooms for longer than 24 hrs. I'm told the tower is nice but I didn't saty there. Good location. Parking - reasonable price.
