CVS

This is a huge CVS. It’s within walking distance and very convenient to the cruise ports in San Juan. The store has everything you will need and inside they speak English, so don’t worry if you don’t speak Spanish. Be prepared for long lines as well as self checkout registers. If the line is too long, an associate will assist you (at least that’s what happened when we were there). The prices are the same as any roughly any other CVS within the states, so don’t think you’re gonna get ripped off. The really cool thing is that the receipts print off your coupons and extra care bucks in Spanish. I found that quite amusing before I threw the receipt in the trash as I had no clue as to what I could save my next 50cents on. Ha!

If you yearn for a little USA while on a cruise or the awesome Sheraton a block away, you’ll find it at this CVS. They have everything and more. The staff is tireless and helpful, nice too. Open 7 to midnight. Check it out.

If I could give 0 star I would. Pharmacist did not listened and gave me the wrong medication… If I wanted a generic I would NOT have told you I needed the brand name! They seem to do what they want and not what you asked for… You try to call them and the call gets disconnected every time! Very frustrating!

They have AC! Great if you just finished the seaside walk through the Old San Juan gate.
Not enough registers open, and the staff seemed reluctant to open more – probably becuase of all the issues that happened after they did!

Hands down the best CVS there is — why? Because when you get to old San Juan and you realized that you forgot dental floss, need some Pringles to munch on and need a bottle wine to wash it down they are centrally located and there for you.
Perfectly located right in front of the port terminal they have the cruise ship crowd covered.
Most prices are very consistent with the 50 state prices you are used to at home.

Great cvs. Everything you can expect from a drug store. Well stocked inventory. Prices are reasonable and the location is ideal. The employees were nice enough to open up another register once they saw the older women were taking forever and asking a bunch of questions. I got ice cream for my Jack Daniels and it was on sale. I was able to use my coupon with no problem.
Highly recommended

Great place to stock up before your cruise and reasonable prices. Everything from souvenirs to drinks to sunscreen to beachwear.

Same as the USA locations with some different local products. Prices on par with US locations as well! If you’re staying at a hotel, you have to go here to stock up on snacks and liquor. It was quite the relief after the sticker shock of hotel shop prices.
We bought some Rum, and it was ½ the price of our hotel! Very clean and organized in there! Glad we took other advice about finding a CVS to save money while in PR.
Thanks! :-)

Great location, very convenient for the cruise ships coming into port. As a result, this place is patrolled and you are herded through because they want to get as many people in and out of here so they can make more money. Even at the register, they have people herding you to a register so they can get you out. I am a CVS fan, but not a fan of this location.

Today, while strolling around in Viejo San Juan we decided to pop into the local CVS. Its CVS has pretty much what is expected. OREOS
If you forgot something essential i.e. shaving cream, razor, toothbrush… SPF, then CVS has your back. OREOS. The «travel size section» awaits you. OREOS.
Also, just like any other CVS in the USA you can get your snacks and beverages here. OREOS. One thing that was interesting is that unless you are going
to the pharmacia, it is all self-​check out. OREOS. Yep, 4 electronic cashiers that «speak» both Spanish and English eagerly «get you in, out and on with your life». OREOS.
No complaints here. Did I tell you that I bought some Oreos? Who else knew that they came in king size?

Pros:
–Great for stocking up for a cruise (water, soda, snacks).
–On the same street as the cruises.
Cons:
–Gets really packed and busy. 1 cashier and 3 self checkout machines.

It’s conveniently located in Old San Juan and has all the basics that you need.

No one know what they are doing here!!! Came in to stock up on snacks and left disappointed. The self-​checkout stands kept on freezing and no one knew what to do. Mind you we had to be back at our hotel in 10 minutes because we were going on our tour.

Lots of check out lines and quick service.

Big, bright, and airy, and next to the Sheraton Hotel. We bought a lot of our cold drinks here because for some reason the Sheraton doesn’t have mini bars/​fridges in their rooms, and we had a suite. Too bad none of the CVS’s in Puerto Rico have a minute clinic because my husband came down with nasty pharyngitis during our trip, and we have Caremark insurance.

For those who are cruisers, with a stop in San Juan, this CVS is the place to go for any items you might have forgotten or might not have known you needed!
San Juan was day 5 of our cruise. And thank goodness for this CVS right across from the port! J had gotten seasick due to really rough seas. This was the first time he’d gotten seasick ever. The pharmcist was wonderful in answering questions we had about drug interations. And recommended we purchase Bonine instead of Dramamine. Worked like a charm and J was not green the rest of the trip!

A VERY convenient location for people on a cruise as its literally across the street from where you the ship is docked.
This store is just like the ones back in the US and the prices are about the same. During our cruise we ran out of sun screen so this was a perfect location to pick up some more. We also got our souvenirs from here as the prices were pretty cheap.
When out time to get on board we came back to purchase water, sodas and snacks to bring on board. Be aware of your time though because everyone else on the ship is doing the same so the line can get long.
