Let customers speak for us
I consider this the best hat store in Old San Juan. The variety of styles is beautiful for men and women, and the quality is superb. There are hats for all tastes and prices. The craftsmanship is excellent. The hats are crafted in Ecuador. In addition, they have fine jewelry, exquisite handbags from Bali, and an array of high-quality accessories. There are many stores in the city, but this one stands out. For instance, my last acquisition was the traditional Puerto Rican pava, but for females. I have never seen a design like that one, and I visit a lot of hat stores. The associates are also superb at catering to my taste and needs. Madama Gladys is the best. This is a required visit every time I visit Old San Juan. The store is located on Crito Street near the Cathedral. The store has a lot of charm.
Love shopping this store when we visit San Juan. We visit once a year and this shop is a must stop!!
Love the shop, the hats, the jewelry and the warm staff! It's become a ritual stop on our trips to PR!
This is my fourth time visiting the island, I been at ElGalpon three of those times. Always buy something, so does my family. But this time I came specifically for this Panama Hat, the owner was super nice and friendly, he helped me choosing the right size and model in a very professional way. I’m glad I came back and I will definitely keep coming back!
The hat quality is very good, it fits extremely well and is comfortable. It has been a nice edition to my wardrobe since I purchased it about a week ago. The service from the store owner was spectacular; she was extremely helpful in finding the right size, color, and explaining proper hat care.
Perfect hat.. Thank you!
We bought this watch for a 9-year-old and he loves it! It's very trendyand light!
I really love my hat; it's one of my favorites and I plan to wear it frequently during spring and summer. It's well-crafted and of high quality.
Love my new Panama Hat. The owners were so helpful showing me the perfect one! Loved it so much I also bought a visor!
