What to pack for a stay in Condado and the resort

Essentials and travel documents

Bring a government-issued photo ID and the credit or debit card you’ll use for incidentals at check-in—the property accepts major cards and may require a card or deposit for incidentals. The main guest checking in must be at least 18 years old.

Carry printed or mobile copies of your reservation and the hotel address: San Juan Marriott Resort and Stellaris Casino, 1309 Ashford Avenue, San Juan, 00907, PR. If you have prepaid breakfast or other inclusions, keep those confirmations handy.

• Government photo ID (passport or driver’s license)
• Credit/debit card used for booking and incidentals
• Reservation confirmation (printed or mobile)
• Any required travel or health documents

Beach and pool kit

The resort sits directly on Condado Beach and has heated outdoor pools, a waterslide, a swim-up Brisa Pool Bar, and a separate children’s pool, so bring swim and sun gear for both sand and pool time. Beach loungers and towels are included via the resort fee, but private cabanas are reservable for an extra charge.

Because the Atlantic can have strong currents at Condado, pack items for comfort rather than specialized safety equipment unless you plan watersports off-property.

bullets:[

• Swimsuits (bring at least two if you’ll swim daily)
• Reef-safe sunscreen (sprays/lotions marked reef-safe)
• Wide-brim hat or cap and sunglasses
• Light cover-up or sarong for walking to Cosecha or other dining areas
• Waterproof phone pouch or small dry bag
• Flip-flops or sandals

Clothing and footwear

Days are casual and beach-focused; bring lightweight breathable clothes for daytime and one or two smart-casual outfits for evening restaurants like Cosecha, Terrazzo or Azure Lounge. Marriott notes Cosecha requests no bathing suits and recommends business casual for some venues, while other spots are casual.

Bring a light jacket or long-sleeve layer for breezy evenings, and rain-resistant gear if visiting during the summer or hurricane season (June–November).

bullets:[

• Daywear: T‑shirts, shorts, sundresses
• Evening: smart-casual shirt or dress (Cosecha requests no bathing suits)
• Light sweater or windbreaker for evenings
• Comfortable walking shoes for exploring Condado and Old San Juan
• Water shoes if you plan surf or rocky-entry activities

Toiletries, health and wellness

Bring your preferred toiletries and any prescription medications—hotel bathrooms have standard amenities but specific personal products are not guaranteed. The Ocean Club Wellness Center provides spa services (massages, facials, wraps) for a fee and a complimentary 24‑hour fitness center and morning yoga classes are available.

Pack insect repellent if you plan evening walks away from the beachfront or day trips into rainforest areas like El Yunque.

bullets:[

• Prescription meds (in original containers) and a small first-aid kit
• Reef-safe sunscreen and after-sun lotion
• Insect repellent for evenings or excursions
• Any preferred shampoo/conditioner or specialty toiletries

Electronics and money

Rooms and public areas have free Wi‑Fi, so bring chargers and a travel adapter only if your devices need it. The resort accepts major credit cards and does not accept cash for some transactions—carrying the same card you used to book is recommended for incidentals.

If you plan to use rideshares, download local apps (Uber is commonly used). For day trips, bring a portable battery pack and a waterproof case for your phone.

bullets:[

• Phone and charger, plus portable power bank
• Waterproof phone case for beach/pool
• Credit/debit card(s) used for booking
• Small amount of local currency if you want cash for street vendors (optional)

Room-type notes and extras to pack

Choose a room that suits your party size and preferences; room names include options such as Room, Ocean View (350 sq. ft.), Room, Lanai, Pool View (Pool Access), Executive Suite, 1 Bedroom, Ocean View and Presidential Suite, 1 Bedroom, Oceanfront. Verify bedding and occupancy when you book—no extra rollaway beds are provided. Children up to age 17 can stay free using existing bedding.

If you’ll be working from your room, several room types list a desk or seating area; bring any dongles you need—the property provides free Wi‑Fi but does not guarantee wired internet. For longer stays, consider rooms with sofa beds or one-bedroom suites if you need extra sleeping space.

bullets:[

• If you need pool access from your room, look for Room, Lanai, Pool View (Pool Access)
• For ocean panoramas: Room, Ocean View or Executive Suite, 1 Bedroom, Ocean View
• No extra beds provided—plan using existing bedding (check room type)

Day trips and weather considerations

Condado is a convenient base for Old San Juan, El Yunque and bioluminescent-bay trips. If you plan day trips to rainforests or long boat outings, pack quick-dry clothing and a light rain jacket. El Yunque and bioluminescent bay trips have different travel times—check tour operator details before packing specific gear.

Weather is most comfortable December–April; summer is hotter and more humid with afternoon showers. Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1–November 30—if traveling then, include a waterproof layer and monitor forecasts.

bullets:[

• Quick-dry clothes for rainforests and boat trips
• Light rain jacket or poncho during hurricane season
• Waterproof bag for valuables on boat or beach excursions
• Extra zip-lock bags for wet garments or electronics
