Last December American Airlines had a $250 Austin/San Juan round trip special that we couldn't pass up and pushed the "Buy" button! I mentioned the cheap airfare and our friends (other retirees) said "we're in".

My husband, mother-in-law and I recently stayed at Palmas de Lucia.

We just returned from a week at Parador Palmas De Lucia, and we were completely satisfied with our stay. Everything – our room, the hallways, and the public areas were immaculately clean. Maid service was daily and efficient. The towels were full size, fluffy and replaced daily. Our room came with a coffee pot, microwave and small fridge. The food... more

We stayed at Palmas de Lucia on the weekend of Sept 29th-Oct 1st. I have to say that I have mixed feelings about this place. Check in was quick and the lady at the front desk was very nice. Small pool, but my nieces and nephews did not seem to mind, they had a great time at the pool. The... more
