Accommodations

Coming to the US territory of Puerto Rico is in many ways like traveling to a whole different country. Tropical, balmy and oozing with relaxation, Puerto Rico is a pleasure seeker's haven, and makes exceptional destination for any golf vacation with or without the entire family.

That's because the wide variety of lodging and accommodations are suited to virtually everybody's needs, and there's no shortage of really fine places to stay when you come to this fantastic vacation island.

For starters, why not try booking a reservation at the Hyatt Dorado Beach Resort and Country Club and see what fine golf vacation island lodging is really all about. You'll love the full array of amenities and world-class service to be found on these palatial grounds.

We also recommend the El Convento Hotel located in the fabulous city of San Juan. Here you'll get to know the true and authentic Latin hospitality glossed with the kind of high class service you deserve when you come to such an upscale and leading edge place to lodge as this really is.

Dining & Nightlife

Often referred to as "Party Central," Puerto Rico is one of the best places vacation destinations for merry making and libation throughout the long, sultry and happy nights.

While remembering to be sensibly respectful of the traditionally conservative Latin culture present on this vacation destination, you will be happy to discover that, despite this, the people here-both locals and tourists alike-really know how to enjoy themselves.

That's why dance clubs like the Rumba and Habana should not be missed-they are the epitome of Latin America's joie de vivre.

You'll also enjoy fantastic dining experiences here by the dozen. For starters, why don't you check out the amazing food to be had over at the Parrot Club in San Juan. Come here for latest dishes in the "nuevo" craze that's hitting the island-"nuevo latino," it's called, and it's delicious.

Also don't miss making your reservations at Aquaviva for their take on the fine dining to be had with the fad. They do daring things with seafood, and it's well worth a visit to experience any of the many savory and fantastic menu items to be found here.

Activities & Attractions

Alongside the fine weather and the excellent golfing to be found on this beautiful tropical island vacation destination, there are countless attractions and things to do and see in Puerto Rico that it can actually be mind boggling at times.

While you may feel pulled in every directions, there are some must-see attractions that we highly recommend. First of all, there's El Yunque. This amazing tropical rainforest preserve boasts 28,000 acres of undeveloped land that climbs up to the austere and incredible Pico del Toro (3,523 feet).

Then of course, there's the Old San Juan which will give any interested tourist an incredible view of the colonial architecture erected by the Spanish conquistadors in the 16th and 17th centuries. But more than just some sort of living museum, the Old San Juan Puerto Rico attraction is a truly romantic and charming place to visit-even if it means taking a break from the golf course.
