OCTOBER 8 – 11, 2016
Starting at $899 per person
The Trip
Visit a pristine beach while staying in luxury at a 5-star resort, just a
stone’s throw from San Juan International Airport. Nearby are
plenty of activities to keep you busy, including a casino, dance club,
water toys, and a huge selection of restaurants at your fingertips.
San Juan is the oldest city under USA dominion, and Old San Juan is
like going to Spain without the jet lag! Experience enchanting back
streets, fortresses, city walls, and cathedrals straight out of the 17th
Century.
Included in the trip are three wonderful tours that will show you more of the area (more details below).
You also have the option to extend your stay before or after the trip to enjoy even more of the beautiful
islands of Puerto Rico!
The Hotel: El San Juan Resort and Casino, a Hilton Hotel
Get swept away by the in-the-moment energy of the Caribbean’s premier nightlife and entertainment
destination, where white-sand beaches, sparkling pools, myriad dining options and vibrant nightlife
await to indulge your every whim. Mere steps away is the fashionable Isla Verde district, which boasts
beautiful beaches, upscale boutiques, and eclectic restaurants, bars, and live music venues.
If you have a more easygoing pace in mind, your stay will be punctuated with just as many opportunities
for relaxation and rejuvenation. The miles of beaches offer sunbathers the chance to while away the
hours napping onshore or plunging into the surf. The luxurious spa and creative spa packages invite you
to discover the meaning of true pampering. Nine restaurants and fifteen bars cater to any occasion, and
between our casino and state-of-the-art 24-hour fitness center, your heart is bound to race just a little
faster!
