"For an unspoiled section of Puerto Rico's coastline complete with 18 holes of gold, the Rio Grande is the perfect place to unwind between idyllic beaches and the iconic El Yunque rainforest—which inspired this hotel's environmental scientist-led activities program. A serene pool and beachfront make this one of the most relaxing places to stay on the island, and guests love the onsite dining. Plus, 400 recently-refurbished rooms and suites showcase a “jungle, sun, and surf” theme with neutral tones is accented with tropical greens and blues. Spa-influenced bathrooms are complete with rainfall shower heads and marble vanities. Every room has a private balcony—and the 1600 square-foot Governor’s suite is a stunner." - Kathleen Squires
