After 6 years in Asia I’m looking forward to heading back to the Caribbean and wandering around her beautiful islands. One of my favorite things to do when traveling is to attend destination weddings and no place does it better then Puerto Rico! So, if wedding plans are in the works, here is a list of the best Puerto Rican Wedding Resorts.
Puerto Rican Wedding Resorts
Due its pleasant year round climate, Puerto Rico is a prime spot for destination weddings. Its commonwealth status also means that travelers from the United States don’t need to worry about getting a passport in order to pay a visit to the country. These lucky individuals certainly don’t have to bother with the pesky business of going through customs and immigration’s when they arrive at the airport.
La Concha: A Renaissance Resort
Located right on the shores of Condado Beach in San Juan, this luxurious resort is only a short taxi ride away from the local airport. Aside from swimming and sunning oneself on the nearby beach, a wide variety of activities can be found on the premise. After all, the hotel building is home to a spa, a casino, a gym, and an onsite restaurant.
La Concha has even received accolades from Conde Nast Travel, Travel + Leisure, and the Travel Channel for the quality of their facilities.
El Gran Melia Resort
If golf happens to be your favorite sport, this best Puerto Rican Wedding Resorts seaside hotel in Puerto Rico’s northeast is the clearly one for you. After all, the Trump International Golf Club happens to be right next door and their 36 hole course is sure to keep the wedding party busy when their time isn’t otherwise occupied.
Of course, should that pastime not be to your personal taste, there are plenty of other attractions that can be found nearby including the El Yunque Rainforest. In addition, the hotel is only a half-hour ride from the nearest airport, which helps make it an incredibly convenient spot for groups to meet up.
Hotel Saint Regis Bahia Beach Resort
Although the grounds were formerly a coconut plantation, this establishment has shed its humble, workaday origins to become an elegant resort. Visitors here can enjoy teeing off on the nearby golf course, indulging in treatments at the onsite spa, or taking to the waters at either the nearby beach or the hotel pool.
Whirlpools, a sauna, tennis courts, and complimentary Wi-Fi are also among the amenities that are provided for the resort’s guests. Of course, if one happens to get hungry during the course of their stay, there is no need to leave the premises because the multiple onsite eateries are all known for their tasty fare.
The Condado Vanderbilt Hotel
It’s no wonder why this charming establishment made the Puerto Rican Wedding Resorts list. It is heavily geared up for wedding parties. The hotel offers group rate accommodations and the building can easily hold up to 500 guests at any indoor ceremony preformed here.
Of course, hotel guests are well looked after with a gym, a spa, a bar, and a swimming pool to keep them busy after the party is officially over. Pets are even allowed so attendees won’t even have to worry about leaving Muffy and Fido at home while their human owners are away. Instead, they can come too and enjoy the fun.
Hotel El Convento
This hotel’s small size provides an intimate and cozy setting for any special occasion. While this former convent dates back 350 years, travelers that find themselves staying here certainly won’t lack for modern luxuries such as complimentary Wi-Fi.
This charming hotel in Old San Juan even features several open air restaurants that serve up tasty, familiar fare such as pizza, paella, and tapas. These delicious entrees are accompanied by a wide selection of wines and craft beers. The hotel also has a swimming pool, a Jacuzzi, a gym, and a well-maintained herb garden for their guests to enjoy.
