You don’t need a passport, but you will need a bathing suit and some sunglasses to enjoy the tropical beaches and vibrant culture of Puerto Rico. From the beautifully preserved colonial city of San Juan to its incredible sandy beaches and brilliant surfing locales, this is one small island with tons to offer.
CheapCaribbean.com is currently offering many 4-night vacation packages on this Caribbean island – and most are under $500. For a trendier, romantic hotel, let us suggest San Juan Water & Beach Club Hotel.
Right on the beach and minutes away from restaurants, shopping, museums and nightlife, you couldn’t get a better home base to explore the natural beauty and upbeat lifestyle of Puerto Rico.
The cold weather’s been slow in coming this winter, but if you plot your escape to warmer destinations now, by the time it arrives you can look forward to trading snow for sand.
