Isla Grande (Santurce)

[1] This western section of Santurce was once a military base of the United States Navy during World War II.[6] It was home for five patrol squadrons of seaplanes, and included a defense-housing project and a major dry dock facility with shops, storehouses, fuel storage and other support centers.[7] The Puerto Rico Army National Guard (PRANG) Aviation Support Facility in Isla Verde is right next to the Fernando Luis Ribas Dominicci Airport.The hotel also runs with environmental rules involving energy consumption, quality and filtration of air, green cleaning detergents and materials, and a controlled laundry process designed to maximize the use of natural resources.[8] The Puerto Rico Convention Center is a large stadium where sports events and concerts take place and was used as a staging area during Hurricane Maria relief efforts in 2017 and 2018.
