Fourteenth, level on 32 with La Concha and behind it on parking at the hotel — the Ocean Club's own site doesn't cover it. Condado Ocean Club, the former Serafina Beach Hotel, calls itself "an Adult's Only oceanfront enclave", with an infinity-edged pool and cabanas at The Deck, and Social, on Ashford Avenue.
There's a Technogym fitness center, and meals at any Condado Collection restaurant or bar can go on the room.
Expedia lists an 18% resort fee, valet at $30 a night and a minimum age of 21 — a booking site's figures, not the hotel's. The hotel's own site gives no parking, fees or distance to the piers.
Confirm the fee and parking when you book, and take a cab to your pier.

No parking at the piers“There is no parking within San Juan Cruise Port,” per the port, which points drivers to the public Covadonga lot across from the Old San Juan piers; Royal Caribbean says the same for Pan American Pier 2, while Celebrity’s page says its terminal has a lot. The cheapest daily figure we found is the Isla Grande airport’s long-term lot, $8.56 a day on a local parking guide, not the operator, and a taxi from the Pan American side. None of the garages publishes a week-long cruise rate.
