  • Very basic, just your average American mall. Nothing very unique or that you wouldn't see in the States. Fun to shop at as there's a lot of options

  • Great mall. Especially around the holidays. The decor is very festive! There are many different stores and places to eat. From a large food court to various restaurants inside and around the mall. Something for everyone. This place is a must for both locals and tourists.
  • Are you in PR? Do you like shopping? If yea to both, do yourself a favor and go to Plaza Las Americas. I used to go there every week 2-3 times. Have not been here in 15 years as I moved out of the island and the time I had before was for family. Just came back after these 15 years, and it still feels like “The Center of Everything”. This is a shopping mall like none I have seen in the USA. Tons of stores with a variety of services and goods. Tons of restaurants for all the family. Here you will see the conundrum of PR society, poor and rich mixing alike and all looking for a sale in some of the fancy stores around. I may be a bit melancholic, but what great memories I have of this place, and how different and better and nicer it is from what people in the mainland think of a mall. This should be the mold for all of them, in my humble opinion…
