As a frequent traveler to San Juan with Puerto Rican roots, I've fallen for this city in more ways than I can count-and often, it starts with where I check in. The best hotels in San Juan aren't solely places to stay; they shape how you experience the city, from its ocean views and beachside amenities to its cobblestone streets and vibrant dining scenes.

If you're currently watching The Summer I Turned Pretty, you've already, perhaps unknowingly, seen Wrightsville Beach. This charming North Carolina beach town and barrier island is a popular filming location, and the Jenny Han-created show shot some of its most iconic scenes here. That uncomfortable dinner in the third season where (spoiler alert) Belly and Jeremiah announce their engagement? It was filmed at the Oceanic, the town's only restaurant located directly on the beach.
