Puerto Rico is back! I have just returned and could not be more excited about the island and its recovery. Press the reset button and go back in time to what you may have always thought Puerto Rico was about.
Earlier this week, I was invited to see 10 of the top hotels and make up my own mind about Puerto Rico and see if it is ready. There was no one more with negative thoughts than me prior to going. Now that I have seen it for myself, I can say that it is more than ready and the hotels presented are offered at prices that are like hitting the “reset” button in time.
San Juan is very much like Miami South Beach; it is a twist that I am sure everyone will enjoy.
