Fairmont El San Juan Hotel perfectly teeters the line between international Caribbean charm and domestic vacation bliss.
The property fittingly touts itself as a place where “lively urban vibes and peaceful ocean views meet.”
The beautiful design doesn’t stop at the hotel’s rooms.

In some ways, the lobby is the main event.
Another highlight is theChico Cabaret, a secluded speakeasy that’s open only on weekends.
Picture it: Burlesque dancers own the stage as ’60s music fills the room.

Then, there’s the food.
Choose from eight on-property restaurants or enjoy an in-suite or poolside meal (I did both).
Beyond the resort walls, there are plenty ofattractions worth exploring.

Our last stop was Culebra, a small, sparsely populated island 20 miles off the coast of Fajardo.
With diamond-dusted sand and turquoise waters, it’s by far one of themost beautiful placesI’ve ever seen.
And with a pina colada in hand, what could be better?
