Photos of "beautiful" beaches and paradores can be very deceiving. They actually look great from a distance. However, when you get there, you encounter very different realities. First, beaches are not as pristinely clean as in the photos. Beaches are rather murky and sometimes dirty with fishy smells, and so infested with gnats and mosquitos galore that you will get... more

After reading mixed reviews, we were kind some hesitant and took a chance. Boy was it worth the long drive from the airport. This location is far away from the fast paced city, it’s laid back, calm, quiet…. Just what we were looking for on our vacation. This place has the feel of a very luxurious resort and at less... more

We arrived before midnight. It was magical, the harbor waters were as calm as a lake, the moon was reflected on the bay and the reflection continued on to the infinity edge pool. All that combined with the quiet sea breeze and the sky full os stars made the experience eerie but in a good way. The staff was very... more

I needed a place to go relax and be served since I was on vacation from a long year of hard work and decided to try Bahia Salinas which seemed liked the ideal place, atleast on the internet site it did.

During iour last visit in March 09 we specially enjoyed breakfast in the beuatiful outdor restaurant with the friendly cooks and staff. They made breakfast a fun meal and added to our enjoyment of the visit.... more

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". With a little research we decided to circumnavigate the island staying at paradors and sample the fine Porto Rican food and the rums. What a... more

I stayed over a weekend, with my wife. We took a package that gave you 3d/2n with dinners and breakfasts for $425, from which you could deduct $75 with a discount offered by the Paradores de Puerto Rico website. Service is corteous (all young), but sometimes a bit intrusive. *Everything* is rationed: from the ice, to the dinner rolls, to... more
