Morning light cuts across San Juan Bay as the ferry deposits a small, eager crowd on Cataño’s shore. From the water the Casa BACARDÍ pavilion reads like a low-slung promise: bright railings, a terrace bar, and the tang of molasses and citrus in the air. Guests begin at the Bat Bar with a welcome cocktail, the harbor spread below and the old city skyline across the water — an immediate sense of place and palate.
