Will we be able to use the AC at SJU upon arrival, or is it just for departures?

The AC is near gate 14--so if you arrive at any gate on AA you can walk over to the AC.
If you are coming from a foreign country you will arrive at immigration and exit after customs where you have to go through security again to get to the AC.

Yes, if you are entitled to Access either via AC membership, Amex Plat Cl,... of service of from an international flight, or Oneworld elite etc.
Just walk down towards baggage claim and the club is on the left.

Thx! We'll be arriving at SJU from MIA at around 2pm Sunday. Would like to freshen up before heading to the Cruise Ship.

Don't thank us yet - without knowing your presumed right of access, we might be blowing smoke at you; if you are counting on AA Platinum alone for access, I believe you won't get it flying in from MIA (or flying out of MIA.)
If you are an Admirals Club member, of course you would get access - but do think of luggage arriving and spending time in the carousel area unattended.
Check the Admirals Club Access Policies here - they even have some great FAQs with examples.

MIA-SJU is all of 2 hours flying time.
The AC is also the worst around IMO.
Better off jumping in the pool on the ship.
Or off the ship.

Hmmm, I bought a day pass when I came home (BUR) from SJU. Thought SJU AC was just fine. I was as happy there as I was in the one in DFW on the layover.

Thanks for all of the "interesting" information. We are travelling in BIZ, and thought that would gain us access, but, I am also an Admirals Club member, so not an issue. We are flying SFO-MIA-SJU, so, based on your comments, I will plan to use the facilities there between flights. You're right about being there when the bags come off the plane - Thanks!

SJU Admirals Club - Angels
It wasn't until landing in SJU with an urgent need and a 91 year old Mom, that I realized why Admirals' Club agents are sometimes called "angels." What a smooth, professional, poised staff who quickly went into action to solve an intricate problem - fantastic. This was on a busy Monday morning after Thanksgiving - please let them know here's one Admirals Club member that really appreciates the SJU staff.

no showers, and usually too hot or too cold.
