"It's impossible not to breathe in deeply once you arrive at Tres Sirenas, a white-washed oceanfront property. Soothing waves beckon from the beach, and bustle of busy San Juan feels worlds away. Rincón is known as the surf capital of Puerto Rico. Surf beaches are a mile away from Tres Sirenas; the town center is a 10-minute walk. The hotel's five rooms all have ocean views and feel like tropical villas, with clay tiled floors, wood furniture, breezy ceiling fans, and private terraces. You can borrow paddle boards, kayaks and snorkel gear. Owner Lisa Masters is a licensed Jivamukti instructor who teaches on-site and organizes yoga retreats. An oceanfront pool is flanked with canopied daybeds, while an adjoining swimming cove offers a nice alternative to Rincón's wavy surf beaches." - Kathleen Squires
