Walgreens

Most time spent next to our hotel was at this walgreens. Had everything we needed throughout our stay. Clean and well stocked. Well lit, Quick and friendly service ²⁴⁄₇.

Liked that it had the same things I would find in New Jersey. Extremely glad that it is close to where we are staying. My son bought a bathing suit on vacation that is too large so we are trying to find one here. Got some water at a decent price last night we found it in the sale section 2 for one sunblock. One was on sale for 11.99 and we found two packaged for that price at SPF 50. The Checkout line could of been a bit faster, then went from 2 people to one with a few people on line.

There are quite a few Walgreens around San Juan and some are open 24 hours a day but not all. This is one of the few that are open ²⁴⁄₇ but also it is in the main area of Isla Verde so if you have any late night needs then this is about your only choice. The selection is pretty decent and the store is fairly clean and well organized.

This Walgreens on Isla Verde avenue came in super handy during my time in Carolina, Puerto Rico. It’s just your typical Walgreens, great for certain items, but you’ll want to head to Pueblo for any groceries as their food items carry jacked-​up prices. This Walgreens also carries alcohol. But my main focus? Getting cash back when I used my debit card! Up to $ 20 per transaction. No ATM fees :)

Very convenient to hotels. Great pick up anything you forgot to bring. Lots of snacks too. The checkout line can get long at times, but moves fast as they have several clerks.

This Walgreens is within walking distance of several hotels in the area so of course they sell top shelf liquor here, lol. We were here every other day picking up little necessities. Extremely convenient !

This Walgreens has everything liquor to cosmetics. It is also open 24 hours which is a huge bonus! The only thing is that sometimes the lines are extremely long and there are 3 registers and only one person working…

A great store in a nice neighborhood. They are stocked to the gills with stuff and prices are reasonable for the area. Its like a general store!

I felt like we lived here when we came to PR. We must have spent at least $ 500 in here, maybe a little less. We constantly came in here to pick up various things we needed. Shaving supplies because when we go away we don’t check our bags so we don’t pack razors, some soap, some drinks, if we needed it we figured walgreens had it. Definitely a life savor, this place probably makes big bucks from the tourists.

Walgreens was my best friend when I stayed in Isla Verde. My party of 8 constantly needed supplies and this was the closest place that had everything we needed.
Since we were staying for the week we needed a water by the gallons. We picked up soda, Medalla Light, and a whole bunch of snacks to supplement eating out at restaurants.
FYI. Late night they close the back street entrance and only have the main entrance by their parking lot open.

Saturday, 9:00PM.
Never thought I would be miss items from home that much…
Quickie:
+Standard snack options, except it has caribas platanutres (fried, yum)
+Mediocre service
And then???
This was at least a 20 minute drive from our hotel. Good thing we were already in the area!

This place is a god-​send if you are staying in the touristy part of Isla Verde. Cheap bottled water, snacks, beer, wine etc. Also they have bathing suits, beach games (paddleball, sand castle toys). Good place to pick up that toiletry you forgot to pack or after-​sun lotion for your burns. Have to purchase cosmetic stuff at the cosmetic counter that’s the only weird thing. But hey I’m a fan of this Walgreens, came in real handy.

Pharmacy is located on Ave. Isla Verde, pretty convenient to many hotels in Carolina. I needed some toothpaste and cookies (really only needed the toothpaste), and the 3 block walk was worth it. The selection is pretty good there, although the Walgreen’s back in the states are larger. Good selection, but only 2 checkout folks, so that part was a little slow. Prices excellent, though.

UH? THIS IS A WALGREENS??? poor selection — this review is for the one at Plaza del Escorial not for Isla Verde…

Three block walk from our beach-​front hotel. Our hotel charges $ 3 for a small bottle of water. The souvenir shops charge outrageous prices for frames and other nick-​nacks.
Enter Walgreens to the rescue. Water by the case, by the gallon, by the bottle. All sorts of beers at reasonable prices.
And for that sunburn because you had no idea how strong the sun could be even at 10 am, Spf 15 — Spf 90 and tons of after-​sun lotion.
Yeah it’s a drug store. Just like ones you can find in the US. But it’s also the smart move to hit on your first day on vacation and load up on sunscreen, water, beer, and snacks. And those souvenirs and gifts you need to bring back for people, they have a variety and will save you some cash.

Go to the pharmacy before the sun has risen because there’s practically no wait & you’ll likely get one of the kindest pharmacists. His name is Francisco (I think), speaks English & is just so friendly. The store is clean, newly renovated & sells EVERYTHING!

It seems to be the only store of it’s kind in the Carolina vicinity. It’s nothing special or out of the ordinary. It can use a facelift. The manager didn’t understand English, which was pathetic in a tourist area and the pharmacy does not stay open during all store hours.

We made several trips to this Walgreen. We found everything we needed, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The prices were the same as in NY. It was a life saver for us, cause that where we went to buy our water for the 6 days we were in PR.

This place is a lifesaver! We were able to stop in and buy snacks, shampoo and a few other necessities. Plus they keep the temperature on Antarctica, so it feels great in there! Not the friendliest employees, but whatever, I still stopped in multiple times.

When vacationing, you are bound to suffer tourist traps that fuel the economy of your vacation destination. But the hotels in Puerto Rico, more specifically those on Isla Verde Avenue seem to have it down to a science.
The area is secluded from San Juan by $ 20 taxi ride so all the shops and restaurants hike up their prices. Then there comes Walgreens to rescue~~~ The store is laid out pretty much same way as any other Walgreens would be. Besides the local products, items they carried the same and are priced as they would in the mainland US (so bottle of water is still $ 1.25-ish rather than $ 8 at the Intercontinental Hotel where I stayed).
Had I found this place early in my vacation, I would’ve saved so much on everything (films, after-sun-i’m-burning-up lotion, WATER, etc, etc).
