My husband and I recently went to Puerto Rico to celebrate our one year anniversary. It was our first trip to PR and we stayed in Fajardo, a town about 45-minutes from San Juan. We booked through a third party travel company and weren't quite sure what to expect, so we were extremely excited when we pulled up to our hotel El Conquistador.
Driving up the long winding road, my husband was in awe of the golf course while I was pumped to see the spa up ahead. The resort is huge and absolutely gorgeous. There's no beach because it's located above a marina, but guests can take a free boat ride to a private island just 10 minutes away. Being located on a clif and above the marina, you get a fantastic view of the surrounding area - just check out the photo from our hotel room balcony. What makes this such an ideal location for a wedding - besides the views - is that there's so much to do for you and your guests from a casino, several large pools and Coqui waterpark. There are three casual restaurants, a steakhouse (it was closed during our stay) and a seafood restaurant down by the marina. But, my favorite restaurant during our stay was by far La Estacion, what looks like a run-down shack from the street but was the perfect combo of authentic Puerto Rican food in a casual, fun setting. It's just a 5-minute drive from the resort. Don't miss out on the mofongo - it's unreal!
What is your top pick for a destination wedding?
