 Puerto Rico: Smart SplurgesPlanning a perfect Puerto Rico vacation that assures rewarding cultural encounters, memorable hotel stays, and select high-end perks that add up to trip-of-a-lifetime memories isn’t just a matter of spending more money – with so many choices, you’ve got to know where to spend it. From hotels offering just the right combination of location, historical ambiance, and state-of-the-art élan to destination-defining culinary and shopping experiences, our Puerto Rico Smart Splurges may require a slight increase in your travel budget, but they're absolutely worth the extra dollars! East, West, Sugarcane, and Pineapple courses The Hyatt hotels are closed, but the four golf courses by Robert Trent Jones, Sr. are still the most beloved on the island. Hit a lousy shot and you might have to pay for Chi Chi Rodriguez’ window – in other words, he has a home there. 100 Dorado Beach Dr.; 787-796-1234; www.doradobeachclubs.com El Conquistador Puerto Rico’s grande dame, this Fajardo resort near El Yunque sprawls atop a bluff and offers guests access to its Golden Door Spa, a nearby private island, and a golf course. Av El Conquistador; 787-863-6784; www.elconresort.com El Conquistador course The El Con’s course is known for steep climbs and breathtaking views of the ocean and rainforest. Av El Conquistador; 787-863-6784; www.elconresort.com El San Juan Hotel and Casino San Juan’s classic hotel has recently benefited from some luxury upgrades; even if you can’t afford a room, drop by the lobby to inspect the enormous chandelier and experience the nightlife. Isla Verde; 6063 Isla Verde Ave.; 787-791-1000; www.elsanjuanhotel.com Museo De Arte Puerto Rico The elegant, comprehensive museum is worth the drive to the west side of the city, but a meal at Pikayo, Wylie Benet’s on-site restaurant, will show diners all that Criollo (Spanish for Creole) cuisine can be.
