Where To Stay in San Juan Laguna
We think that San Juan would be a fantastic base for a certain type of traveller.
If you’re less concerned about traveller-focussed nightlife and restaurants, and the alternative health crowd of San Marcos and Tzunnnnn just doesn’t sit right, then San Juan is a natural choice.
