6063 Av. Isla Verde, Carolina, 00979, Puerto Rico Get directions

"Inside, one of the most dramatic lobbies on the island features a glistening oval chandelier—the third largest of its kind in the world—set against intricately carved mahogany and polished marble; the hotel also houses one of its five bars directly below that chandelier. Beyond the lobby, the property draws you outside with a beach, four pools, a wide range of water sports from kayaking to parasailing, and a tennis center. Rooms in the Grand Tower offer ocean, pool, or city views and roomier sitting areas, while villas are centered around a pool and include outdoor space, large bathrooms, and complimentary breakfast. Suites vary in scale up to tiers that include baby grand pianos, private whirlpools, terraces, and other luxe touches, and the hotel is extremely convenient to the airport—you can't get much closer than this." - Jessica Chapel
