The Ritz-Carlton San Juan
Hotel Information: Comprising eight acres, The Ritz-Carlton, San Juan Hotel, Spa & Casino features an expansive courtyard with low tropical gardens designed with an eye for geometry softened by an affection for nature. Couples and families come for beach holidays. Conference facilities are set apart from leisure-traveler areas.
Amenity highlights: A pool bordered by lion-head spouts, stately royal palms, and flowering gardens and a six-person spa tub refresh sunbathers. Attendants distribute chilled towels and fruit. The beach sweeps east in a 1.5-km (1-mi) crescent. Offshore reefs knock down ocean swells, but wind in most weather conditions serves boogie boarders and surfers. Complimentary classes include Pilates, yoga, spinning, step aerobics, and Latin dance.
Insider tip: The casual Metropole restaurant across the boulevard from the resort attracts hordes of patrons with a long menu of home-style Cuban dishes.
