CARIBBEAN PUERTO RICO DESTINATIONS


cycle, play ball games or walk their dogs on the grassy lawns. If you want to soak up the local vibe this is the place to hang out, and as an added bonus there’s a great view of the fort and city wall from the white sand bay.


◗ STAY: CLOSE AT HAND If you book clients into the main resort area, which huddles around Isla Verde beach, they can be at their hotel just 10 minutes after leaving Luis Muñoz Marín airport. Accommodation here includes an Intercontinental, a Ritz-Carlton and a Marriott. It’s about a further 15 minutes


to San Juan’s old town. The delightful maze that makes up this part of the capital is all cobbled streets lined with period architecture and an eclectic mix of restaurants and bars – some contemporary, some traditional.


Diverse sounds ooze from their


doorways: jazz, classical piano and DJs spinning infectious salsa and merengue beats that will soon have you rotating your hips alongside the locals. If clients want to stay in the heart of the action rather than at the beach there’s a Sheraton and Small Luxury Hotel, El Convento. A path that follows the city walls is perfect for an evening stroll leading you along the waterfront to Fort San Felipe Del Morro to watch the sunset. The Caribe Hilton also has an


enviable location, within walking distance of the old town and neighbours Playa Escambron. For those who prefer a luxurious, out- of-the-way retreat, the St Regis Bahia Beach Resort can oblige. It’s to the east of San Juan near El Yunque and offers a butler service for those who book suites.
