Thinking about a summer trip to the Caribbean but don't want to make multiple connections to reach the islands? Five Hilton hotels and resorts on Puerto Rico—reachable by non-stop flights daily from many gateways in the U.S.—are offering two free nights with three paid, as well as 20 percent off spa treatments and a $25 casino credit for stays through October 30.
Two hotels located a short cab ride from newly resurgent Old San Juan have summer rates starting at $199 per night. The Caribe Hilton has oceanfront swimming pools, a spa, and an on-site bird sanctuary, while the Conrad San Juan Condado Plaza offers its own beach, waterfront tennis, and the highly regarded Pikayo restaurant. A third property in the city, El San Juan Hotel & Casino, starts at $209 this summer.
East of the capital, the 500-acre El Conquistador Resort in Fajardo counts its own water park, a private island, and an 18-hole golf course among its amenities; rates start at $179 nightly this summer. The Hilton Ponce Golf & Casino Resort, on the island's southern shore, offers 27 holes of golf, as well as a beach, a spa, and one Puerto Rico's largest casinos; it also starts at $179 per night this summer and into fall.
You'll need to book this deal by August 31.
I would love to go to one of these vacations in the Caribbeans. The caribbean hotels look really nice and they have great views.
