El Yunque and the Northeast Hotels

The east coast has a wide variety of lodgings from small lodges in the mountains to large, lavish resorts along the coast. Also available are government-approved paradores. Often translated as "country inn," paradores offer affordable Puerto Rican hospitality and the cozy comforts of home outside of the San Juan metro area. These small, privately owned properties are usually quite picturesque and found throughout the island's interior and more remote coastal towns. If you wish to get away from it all with a neatly packaged trip, eastern Puerto Rico has some of the island's top resorts: the El Conquistador Resort and the Westin Río Mar. You'll also find the island's only all-inclusive resort, the Paradisus Puerto Rico. The extensive facilities and luxury services at these large, self-contained complexes make the list of regional offerings more than complete.
