The Caleta Guesthouse is located near the San Juan Gate, La Fortaleza the Governor's mansion, El Convento Hotel, and La Casa Blanca. In addition to its famous locale, The Caleta enjoys a splendid view of San Juan Harbor.
Within walking distance of The Caleta are excellent restaurants, open air bars, shopping, art galleries, museums, and two National Parks containing the imposing fortresses, El Morro and San Cristobal. The fortresses built by the Spanish Empire, protect the valuable San Juan Harbor, and the city of San Juan. From their high panoramic vistas, one can feel Puerto Rico's refreshing ocean breezes, and see the beaches our island is famed for around the world.
The historic churches, fortresses, and squares of Old San Juan represent some of the Caribbean's most priceless architectural treasures, including several of the oldest surviving European structures in the New World. In 1983 the United Nations designated Old San Juan a World Heritage Site, a distinction placing Old San Juan in a selected group of landmarks such as the Taj Mahal.
