Do you have a name for the villa - sounds like its nearer the commercial centre rather than up the hill at the Europa.

I've written my favourite places to eat on the thread 'eating out in puerto rico'. Hope that helps

yeah the villa is the villa bahamas and it is at the foot of the hill so to speak i know we can get a taxi to the europa centre but are there nice bars and restraunts nearby that we can visit for the first few days and how far are we from the europa

IF you are only 2 mins from the beach you will be within walking distance of the Commercial Centre where you will find a huge number of bars and restaurants, there are more along the seafront and the marinas.

You will need to get to the Europa centre by bus or taxi. The bus will cost 90 cents one way but you will probably need a taxi to get back as the last bus is before midnight. Taxis cost approximately 3.30 euros one way. They will only take 4 passengers so you will need to take 2 of them. Its not a great distance but the hill is not really walkable as it is VERY steep.The journey will only take about 5 minutes as most of the drivers think they have entered the Grand Prix!

You are at the other side of the beach to the marina suites etc but thats a nice stroll before dinner along the beach to the parade of restaurants near marina suites. As i said - look at the thread 'eating out in Puerto Rico' thread.

Or you are just as near the main commercial centre
