We had a fabulous time celebrating our anniversary! Highly recommend it and would definitely come back. Plenty of beautiful beach to stroll and the water is perfect for refreshing swim. The resort has it all, huge pool with up pool bar, a big jacuzzi that is truly hot, delicious food and drinks, etc. Easy Uber rides to/from Old San Juan.
