Where to Eat
You can't miss Rincon Argentino Restaurant. So far this is for me the best one in Ponce and one of my favorites now in PR. The food is so tasteful, un manjar de los dioses. The meat was perfectly cooked.
I'm still dreaming of the chicken soup.
Where to Stay
Here is a list of some of the places around ponce city.
Hilton Ponce Golf & Casino.
Ponce Plaza Hotel & Casino
The Fox Hotel
We stayed at the Aloft Hotel for the weekend. My favorite pool was the one at the rooftop because it's quieter, mostly for adults or couples, the one at the first floor it's more family friendly, best for kids. There is also a Mexican restaurant at the rooftop so you can order appetizers, drinks or a main dish if you are hungrier. On the first floor you will find the Hard Rock Cafe and other entertainment areas, they usually have live music or Dj's during the weekend. Location is great near by the top places in Ponce. Also, the parking is included.
Mình hay ghi chú đủ thứ nhưng thường được vài bữa là bỏ, nên mấy cách theo dõi có khuôn khổ làm mình muốn thử. Hồi trước mình chỉ viết mục tiêu kiểu chung chung, đến lúc mở lại thì mơ hồ lắm, chẳng biết mình tiến được bao nhiêu hay thói quen xấu nào đang lặp lại. Từ khi chuyển sang ghi theo kiểu Sổ kết quả 100 ngày, mình thấy đỡ bị ngợp vì mỗi ngày chỉ cần vài ý: hôm nay làm gì, tâm trạng ra sao, và một điểm cần điều chỉnh. Có hôm lười thật, nhưng đọc lại những trang cũ lại thấy mình thay đổi dần, bớt hấp tấp và biết chọn việc quan…
