Old San Juan’s first-ever bed & breakfast, the historic Casa Sol — identifiable by its goldenrod exterior, and red wrought iron door — offers five elegantly romantic rooms, and quite possibly the best breakfast in Puerto Rico. Owner Eddie Ramírez, a retired Hilton executive (who grew up on the same street as Casa Sol) meticulously restored the 18th-century Spanish Colonial building, exposing beams and even frescos. While the result is stunning, it is Ramirez’s homemade breakfasts that keep guests coming back. His menu includes specialties like Mallorcas with ham, cheese and eggs (a very traditional Old San Juan breakfast), and Eggs Casa Sol — a take on eggs benedict, featuring grated potato and pumpkin, tomato, basil, poached eggs, and cheese.
