Winter at home? Head for Puerto Rico instead
One of the big attractions of heading off to holiday to the Caribbean is that it means that we can escape the winter weather in exchange for almost sure sunlight, living in a tropical paradise, pampering ourselves while we disconnect from home, the office and whatever other pressures we leave behind.
And since no passport is required to travel there thanks to its US Commonwealth standing, Puerto Rico vacations are good for USA citizens. That suggests you can hop on a plane and in almost no time you’ll have escaped the snows in exchange for white sand beaches and clear tropical waters full of exotic fish.
While many of us visit Puerto Rico as they stop off in San Juan on board a cruise liner, San Juan is also the Caribbean’s most active airport and acts as a heart to several other islands in the Caribbean and South America. However , why board a continuing jet when you will find everything you need in Puerto Rico itself?
With a short transfer from the airport, you'll soon be checking into your hotel and forgetting all the pressures you left at home behind you.
Pull up and chair in the Tiki bar in your Puerto Rico all-inclusive resort, order an exciting Caribbean cocktail and experience the impressive sea view as you feel yourself unwind.
Find it difficult to really let go? Then head for the spa where you can spend a couple of hours in pure unadulterated luxury and pampering yourself. You know you are worth it.
Make sure you try out some of the local specialities on offer when you are there. And while they won't be to your taste, you'll find a good selection of world cuisine to choose between, meaning you’ll never starve. Nor will even the most fussy member of your family, who you can't please.
Spending the days on the beach or poolside has the sunlight hours sorted – and if you are feeling truly energized then hostels like Rio Mar Beach Resort boast golfing courses too – but after watching the excellent nightfall over the sea you can head for the casino and play the slots; have a go on the roulette wheel; or show your card abilities at the blackjack or poker tables.
