Plaza Las Americas

Biggest mall in San Juan. Taxi ride from water club in isla verde was $ 21 for 2 ppl. Good selection of stores both local and national chains. Guess champions foot locker bakers VS Sears JC Penny and a huge Macys (yay!). Mall was packed mid Friday and we found several good sales. Not many activities other than the movie theater. Food selection was different than what we are used to on the mainland. Restaurants were scattered which seems cool in theory but not practical when you are in a group on 1^st floor with mcDs and kfc but prefer to eat pizza on the 3^rd floor.

I like this mall. People are very friendly and prices are affordable. Great place to kill time while waiting for your flight.

This mall is HUGE — the largest mall in the Caribbean! There are so many stores, one could spend an entire day here. We came on a Monday around 7pm, the mall stays open until 9pm. The parking lot is also huge, and there were still many cars in the lot when we arrived. I did not feel like there were many shoppers (everyone was likely dispersed through the various floors and sections), which was great because we needed to do some power shopping.
All sales associates we encountered were fluent in English and Spanish. I feel like we were almost always greeted with a «Hello» — they could probably tell we were visitors. All the stores were in nice condition and merchandise was neat and tidy.
The mall itself was very clean and modern feeling. They had very nice indoor foliage and fountains.
This would be an awesome place to spend a rainy day. It is truly a shopper’s paradise!

This is a amazing mall. Palm trees upfront, multiple water features inside. The mall is huge the largest I’ve ever been in. Many stores and so many restaurants to choose from. Be sure to check this out on a rainy day. It’s extremely clean on the inside and seems extremely safe.

This is the largest mall in the caribbean — pretty cool!

While on an extended Memorial Day Weekend trip with friends we hit this mall for a couple hours to kill time before returning the rental car and getting to the airport for our flight back to reality.
I had read reviews that parking would be a nightmare, but we drove right in and parked within 30 seconds. It was certainly jam-​packed in the parking lot, so I’m sure we just got lucky or had good timing… or both.
We’re from Miami /​South Florida where we have an abundance of large malls… and this Plaza Las Americas looks, feels, sounds and tastes like Aventura Mall. There are some super high-​end stores along with some run-​of-​the-​mill stores you can find everywhere. The food court looked to have similar food you would expect in any other nice mall.
We were window shopping for the most part and I found that the prices were pretty good in comparison to other high-​end malls. It was very clean and had very wide open walkways to accommodate the masses.
Good place to people watch. Other than that, nothing special to see here that you can’t see at your own hometown mall… unless you REALLY like shopping.

Thank you baby Jesus! You finally added security guards to direct traffic ! That was well needed to get in and out of that place!

Pretty busy mall with a lot of options. i was surprised to see how busy this place was considering how many people have left the island and due to a down economy. I guess consumers are trying to stimulate the economy huh?

Worst West Elm Store I have been to. Terrible slow and incompetent Service! Every Purchase/​Order takes forever and no one seems to know what they are doing!

The small reminds me of perimeter mall in Atlanta. Grandma that has a mixture of both Hi-​end and the normal stores you would see in a store. I did have a little bit of a language barrier or when I went to Footlocker but I was able to get some shoes.

Eating malls is still an interesting thing but oh well. This mall is gigantic so… a tip would be wear sneakers! Stores of various caliber and my favorite part was outside of the Microsoft store there wAs a set up for kids to play a dance game. Seemed like they were having fun. It was pretty crowded and one of the biggest malls on the island so just be aware. You will find most stores that are in your mall from home plus more. Place was clean people seemed friendly.

I love this shopping mall. It is very clean and it’s beautiful! I do admit many of the stores are upscale, but I don’t think it should stop anyone from visiting. After all, it is the biggest mall in the Caribbean with over 300 shops! They have a nice food court as well. My mom and I came in two different occasions. There is a Walgreens inside, which was very helpful during our stay.
Come and do a little bit of window shopping and maybe eat lunch. It’s perfectly ok. :-)

We went on a rainy day. Figured hey why not kill a few hours until the rain passes?
I know that this was a local shopping mall.
Had car service which wasn’t an issue.
Nothing different from any other malls.
Except for the 11.5% tax rate on all products sold! Hahaha! We technically it would be much higher if you were to calculate a portion of the car fare into it LOL!
But let’s not do that!
Sales associates, need to to acknowledge that when someone greets you with hello instead of Hola do not refuse to speak English if you know how to speak it fluently. But it’s okay, because I could understand 90% of proper Spanish… Responding to them in English was a trade off… Lol…
Had a run in with one associate but never the less their ignorance will just leave them where their at… with no growth in their future.
Any great deals? Ummm nah…
Was it worth it? Ummmm nah…
Would I go again? Ummmm… only if there was a typhoon coming the on my next visit here in PR.

This mall’s huge! It has stores that US malls doesn’t have. Free parking, indoor or outdoor. The only complaint I have is there’s not that many bathrooms in the mall. You’d think in a big mall like this, there’d be more bathroom because they’d expect a lot of people to be in the building at the same time.

Went to mall looking for a book store dont waste you time.
Only book store in mall has closed.
Otherwise a typical mall food and store’s

Whenever i need to go shopping THIS is the mall to go. During holidays the parking and mall is crazy busy. You can expect the mall to also be busy on weekends. I know they recently opened Mall of San Juan but Plaza las americas will still remain my #1 mall de Puerto Rico. I love the food court, restaurant variety (PF changs, Cheesecake factory, Macaroni Grill, Chilis, Faccio Pizza, Sizzler, Pizza hut, etc), (busy) movie theatre, department stores, hot topic, payless (thank god they have 8.5W shoes), wet seal, Old Navy, Zara, VS, charlotte russe and forever 21. It would be SO awesome if they opened an H&M. Then i would forever be devoted to this mall.

The caribbean shopping mecca. This is THE place to go to if you are looking to indulge yourself. You can find a wide variety of stores here:
Macy’s
Banana Republic
Victoria’s Secret
Bath & Body Works
Abercrombie & Fitch
Pandora
Zara
Gap
BCBG Generation
Michael Kors
Disney Store
Forever 21
JC Penney
BCBG
Build-​a-​Bear
Brooks Brothers
Old Navy
PF Changs
The Cheesecake Factory
Starbucks
M.A.C.
Marciano
…I could on forever…
For many Puerto Ricans who have seen Plaza Las Americas evolve like I have, it is exciting to see many of these name brands because it took a long time for them to be brought here. We finally have a mall to boast about now. The only downfall this mall has in the parking. If you don’t come here early in the morning looking for a space can be a total nightmare. You wouldn’t think so considering all the garages they have. Valet parking is available through different entrances around the mall but even those can fill up at times. During the holiday season it can be especially difficult to find parking as well. Happy shopping!

This mall is huge and great! While my family and I were there, La Feria (an annual holiday fair) was in town and we were able to walk across the street from the mall right into the fair. The best experience I had at this mall was their Build-​a– Bear store. My boys have never been to Build-​a– Bear, so I took them there on the last day of our vacation so they can have something special to remember their trip to Puerto Rico. I am so glad we did. The woman who helped my boys build their bears was so kind and so sweet. She genuinely seemed to care about my childrens happiness and she talked to them the whole time (in English). That woman deserves her own store because she literally made our experience magical and it was not fake or forced she even had her own teddy bear on her back. I don’t remember her name but thank you so much for everything you are truly a priceless gem in that store.

Ohhhh yes, air conditioning and el messon!

I do wish that the actual food court had better options. They also don’t have an H&M. Other than that, great mall.
Note: We went on a Wednesday so the stores were only open until 9:00pm but the food court was open until 10:00pm. If you shop until 9:00pm and head to the food court after, they close up but ask about the «Pon de Plaza». It’s a free bus that will take you to your car.
