Puerto Rico is Back
And Better Than Ever

The Island of Enchantment is very much open for business and remains ready to welcome guests seeking incredible and diverse experiences. Tourists have the opportunity to play an important role in the resurgence of Puerto Rico by visiting and supporting the local economy. There is a palpable energy on the island with tons of new restaurants and bars as well as new and newly-renovated hotels.


Marriott International has an unsurpassed portfolio on the island with hotels to match all traveler’s desires and budgets and offers the opportunity to not only discover the capitol of San Juan with its pristine beaches and vibrant culture, history, and nightlife, but to venture further afield to discover other areas of the island.

Nature and Science Experiences in the North

Puerto Rico has long attracted nature lovers to the majestic El Yunque rainforest, but relatively few venture to another natural wonder on the island, Cueva Ventana, a large cave situated atop a limestone cliff in Arecibo, overlooking the Río Grande de Arecibo. Recognized as one of the most beautiful caves in the world, Cueva Ventana rewards those who complete the hike with an unforgettable view out the cave’s “window” to the expansive valley below. There are several tour companies that offer excursions and guided hikes.

Also located nearby is the Arecibo Telescope, the world’s largest single-dish radio telescope, which offers daily visits and organized tours. The telescope is not only an impressive site, with a main collecting dish that is 1,000 feet in diameter, but has been home to many important scientific breakthroughs, including the discovery of the first binary Pulsar, the first evidence of the existence of neutron stars, and was the first observatory to directly image an asteroid. 

Rich Tradition in the South

There’s perhaps no better way to become fully immersed in Puerto Rican culture than at the Ponce Carnival. The annual celebration takes place in February and lasts one week ending on the day before Ash Wednesday. All year round, the city is a haven for those who admire art and architecture and Ponce has several famous museums honoring different aspects of its history and culture. The vibrant downtown is a medley from Spanish colonial house and neo-Classical buildings modeled after Grand Central Terminal, to the famous red and black stripped wooden firehouse on the town square.

Breathtaking Natural Wonders in the East

The waters off the east coast of Puerto Rico are teeming with marine life, making them an ideal destination for catamaran cruises, sailing, fishing charters, and snorkeling and diving excursions. The marinas at Fajardo offer numerous tours and charters unlocking adventures above or below the surface. The gorgeous islands of Vieques and Culebra are also located here and propel visitors into a peaceful relaxed lifestyle. Both islands are world-class attractions in their own right and accessible via a quick flight or boat ride. Mosquito Bay in Vieques is the brightest bioluminescent bay in the world according to the Guinness Book of World Records and Culebra’s Flamenco Beach, was named the second-best beach in the world by The Discovery Channel.

Whale Watching and Surfing in The West

Puerto Rico’s western coast, long a favorite for local vacationers, is starting to gain popularity among mainland and international travelers as well. A surfer’s paradise, the beaches near Isabela, Aguadilla and Rincón offer incredible waves year-round alongside a laidback surf culture complete with shops, cafes and local hangouts. During the winter months, between December and March, migrating humpback whales can be spotted in the waters off Rincón.

Guests hoping to get a peek at these huge creatures can enjoy a number of tours or take it in from the Rincón Lighthouse.
