The Best Hotel in El Yunque and the Northeast, Puerto Rico

Background Illustration for Hotels

The east coast has a wide variety of lodgings, from small inns and guesthouses in the mountains to large, lavish resorts along the coast. Government-approved paradores are also available. Often translated as "country inns," paradores offer affordable Puerto Rican hospitality and the cozy comforts of home outside 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 St. Regis Bahia Beach Resort and El Conquistador, a Waldorf Astoria Resort. You’ll also find extensive facilities and services at large, self-contained complexes like the Wyndham Grand Río Mar and the Gran Meliá, making the list of regional offerings more than complete.

Wyndham Palmas Beach & Golf Resort

$$ | 170 Candelero Dr., Humacao, 00791, Puerto Rico

Amid acres and acres of condo developments and golf courses, the Wyndham Candelero is surprisingly modest in scale, given its opulent surroundings, but it does have a beautiful pool area. Recent renovations have created a "boho-chic" environment, creating a space that blends beautifully with the surrounding El Yunque National Rainforest. None of the rooms has an ocean view, but some have balconies overlooking the infinity pool or the lush grounds. You have access to all of the facilities, you can stroll around the marina, play a few games of tennis, or hit the links at the two championship golf courses.
