Hotel at a Glance: Hotel La Playa

Located in the Isla Verde resort district of Puerto Rico, Hotel La Playa has overlooked the Caribbean Sea since 1960. The hotel is sandwiched between two of Puerto Rico's best beaches—Sunset Beach and Sunrise Beach. The latter was one of the first in the country to be named a Blue Flag beach, which means it meets a high standard of water cleanliness and safety.

• Intimate digs: The boutique hotel has only 15 guest rooms.
• Fun in the sun: You can swim, surf, sail, rent a jet ski, or relax on a chaise lounge.
• Grab a bite: La Playita Oceanfront Restaurant serves stuffed plantains, crab cakes, and other locally inspired dishes.

San Juan, Puerto Rico: Cosmopolitan City with Rich Spanish Heritage and Excellent Surfing and Fishing

Located along the northeastern coast of Puerto Rico, San Juan is a city of superlatives: it is the largest city on the island, one of the oldest colonial cities that lies on US territory, and it operates one of the busiest seaports in the world. And though San Juan is certainly modern, it also preserves quite a bit of its Spanish heritage.

At the mouth of the San Juan Bay, you'll find the blue cobblestone streets of Old San Juan, which are lined with museums, churches, and military forts dating back to the 16th century. The San Juan National Historic Site—located 16 miles (25 km) from the property—features old but well-preserved buildings such as El Morro, a castle-like fortress built to defend the city from seaborne enemies and serve as a party house whenever the mayor went out of town.

Strong waves and constant winds keep windsurfers and kiteboarders busy in San Juan, and sailboats ring the marinas year-round. But the island might be best known for its deep-sea fishing. Numerous charter boats can take you out to fish for tarpon, blue marlin, and mahi-mahi.
