Romantic hotels in puerto rico: Puerto Rico’s Most Romantic Hotels – Travel Curator
Puerto Rico’s Most Romantic Hotels – Travel Curator
Couples love-journ to Puerto Rico for many reasons. For some, it is the cerulean blue ocean, swaying palm trees, and endless beaches. For others, it is the rainforest. El Yunque National Forest is the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. Forest Service. Still others come to the ‘Island of Enchantment for the history and neoclassical architecture, gastronomy and salsa dancing. There is also, for Americans, the simple ease of traveling — no passport required, no cell-phone plan change needed. Whatever the reason, Puerto Rico, with its vibrant flair (molded by Spanish, African, and US influences), has romantic hotels for every couple type. A few of our faves:
For Ultimate Seclusion
Dorado Beach, A Ritz-Carlton Reserve, Dorado

In designing this low-key, one-with-nature, oceanfront resort, founding father —Laurance S. Rockefeller — had one unwavering rule: “no buildings taller than a palm tree. ” The concept, adored by 1960s glitterati — Elizabeth Taylor, Joan Crawford, and Ava Gardner (who once stayed a month) — has continued under the Ritz Carlton marquee. Today, the exclusive property remains a coveted Caribbean hotspot favored by the global jet set. Seclusion is its major draw.
The Vibe:
Lush gardens, stunning ocean views, and guest rooms light in palette, with deep soaking tubs and terraces overlooking the sea, that feel more like a private villa. Many come with private plunge pools.
Private Tete-a-Tete:

Reserve a private spa night for two. Meander hand in hand through meticulously lush acres (once part of a pineapple plantation) to the entrance of Spa Botánico where you’re greeted by an 80-plus-year-old ficus tree. Designed by legendary spa developer, Tracy Lee, the spa features indigenous treatment rituals and locally sourced ingredients (coffee, sweet lime, coconut). A standout for couples comes in the 3-hour Noche Romantica Botanica, which begins with a champagne toast and 90-minute couples massage followed by a private soak in the purification gardens, a steam for two, and relax time under the stars. A specially prepared meal by the chef may be added.
For Nature Lovers
The St. Regis Bahia Beach Resort, Rio Grande

Set on a former coconut plantation, the dreamy St. Regis Bahia Beach Resort is set on two miles of secluded beach between the El Yunque National Forest and Espíritu Santo River State Preserve. It is the only hotel in the Caribbean to be awarded Audubon International’s Gold Signature sanctuary certification for its commitment to environmentally thoughtful development. With just 139 rooms — each with a private terrace overlooking the sea — the hotel is also a favorite among honeymooners as well as longtime couples looking to disconnect (from everyday life) and reconnect (with one another).
The Vibe:
Upscale with butler service, we love the low-rise buildings, colonial-style furnishings, and emphasis on sea and sky, trees, and birds. The resort is home to its own private bird sanctuary and over 240 unique species of flora and fauna, exotic feather friends, and leatherback turtles.

While there is plenty to do at the resort — paddle boarding, biking, spa treatments with cruelty-free, organic products, golf on a Robert Trent Jr.-designed course — must-do dates include hiking the rainforest trails and swimming in the waterfalls at El Yunque National Rainforest; and quietly paddling through mangroves on a magical, guided bioluminescent ‘glow-in-the-dark’ night kayak tour to Laguna Grande.
For History and Architecture Buffs
Hotel El Convento, Old San Juan

A convent-turned-luxury hotel, El Convento Hotel, in Old San Juan, checks every box for history and architecture lovers. The landmark yellow building was originally built in 1651 as America’s first nunnery, and served as a Carmelite convent until the early 1900s when it became a garbage truck garage. The building was resurrected into a hotel in 1962 by department store magnate Robert Woolworth — attracting the likes of Ernest Hemingway and Gloria Vanderbilt among others. Much of the hotel’s former history can still be seen in the handmade Andalusian tiles, arched doorways, black-and-white floors, mahogany beamed ceilings, and 350-year-old Nispero tree rising high above the romantic courtyard.
The Vibe:
Old-world romance with modern touches. Each of the 58 rooms features elegant Spanish antiques, including one-of-a-kind wood-carved beds; while the rooftop offers a vibey pool and Jacuzzi with views of the city.

Private Tete-a-Tete:
Stop by the hotel terrace (overlooking the bay and draped in bougainvillea) for complimentary cocktails and hors d’oeuvres before a dinner of contemporary Puerto Rican cuisine at Santísimo Restaurant. Later, meander the cobblestone streets, past the crayola-colored buildings, to La Factoria — a popular spot among locals and visitors — to salsa the night away.
For Trendsetters
O:live Boutique Hotel, San Juan

A post shared by O:live Boutique Hotel (@theoliveexperience)
Set in the trendy Condado neighborhood of San Juan, this 15-room, adults-only boutique hotel is all about intimacy and extras: decadent outdoor spaces, fresh-baked cookies daily, L’Occitane toiletries, and all-glass bathrooms. The well-traveled owner has filled the hotel with a collection of French, Italian, Moroccan, and Spanish pieces, including wrought-iron chandeliers, Spanish tiles and distressed wood walls. Couples will definitely want to book one of the suites which comes with an outdoor bathtub and private verandah complete with a fountain, sofa, and dining table for two.
The Vibe:
Rustic-chic, upscale and relaxed. A rooftop bar and lounge (with saltwater plunge pool that lights up at night) keeps the ambience sexy and fun, while offering stunning views of the city and lagoon.

Private Tete-a-Tete:
Bathe in the sexy outdoor tub, before heading out for a two-hour floating Champagne picnic. On a bobbing deck, share a bottle of bubbly and a picnic basket of gourmet charcuterie, while watching the sunset over the lagoon. Top off the night on the starlit verandah with a (pre-arranged) ‘surprise dessert’ of 75 red roses served alongside a dozen chocolate-covered strawberries.
For Surfers and Beach Lovers
Villa Montaña Beach Resort, Isabela

A post shared by Villa Montana Beach Resort (@villamontanabeachresort)
In a region already famous for its natural beauty, the romantic Villa Montaña, in Puerto Rico’s northwestern tip, comes with three miles of secluded beach, 35 acres of lush greenery, and a laid-back romantic ambience. Set on a former sugar plantation, the hotel features traditional rooms along with one-, two-, and three-bedroom villas — all with private patios and terracotta tiles. Chill on bean bag chairs strewn in the sand, or hide away in a hammock by the firepit. Surfing is ideal here, and the famous Jobos Surfing beach is just minutes away. Be sure to check out the food truck park on the way.
The Vibe:
Casual elegance with a laid-back, low-key vibe, stunning beach, and Spanish colonial accents. We love that the resort is pet-friendly, and a favorite spot for small destination weddings.

Private Tete-a-Tete:
Spend days horseback riding on the beach, biking the garden paths, lounging by the pools in cushy daybeds, or snorkeling right off the beach. The staff is super happy to arrange private dinners for two, picnics on the sand, and even a bonfire complete with s’mores. Do dress up (one night at least) for fine-dining by Chef Rafael Grau at Eclipse — regarded one of the best restaurants on the island.
The Best Honeymoon Hotels in Puerto Rico
From boutique properties in historic San Juan to ultra-luxurious seaside resorts, Puerto Rico boasts a wide range of terrific hotels and unique accommodations that are a perfect fit for a romantic honeymoon getaway.
Read on to discover 10 of our favorite properties for a honeymoon in gorgeous Puerto Rico.
We’re head over heels for this romantic and laid-back boutique hotel in San Juan. Couples will want to book one the hotel’s suites, which feature outdoor tubs and beautiful private verandas complete with fountains, sofas and a dining table for two.
The property is also home to a rooftop pool and excellent Italian steakhouse restaurant on the first floor. Newlyweds can also sign up for a plethora of unique activities, including a floating champagne deck experience out on Condado Lagoon, night kayaking, and stand up paddle boarding.
This former Carmelite convent has been a fixture in the walled city of Old San Juan since 1651. All rooms and suites within the yellow-hued hotel are individually decorated and feature views of Old Town or the city’s namesake bay.
Additional amenities include top-notch restaurants, a pool and Jacuzzi, and a quaint courtyard that houses a 300-year-old fruit tree.
Leave the hustle and bustle of San Juan behind with a stay at Tres Sirenas Beach Inn. This boutique oceanfront bed & breakfast can be found in laid-back Rincon, Puerto Rico’s top surfing destination.
The inn’s luxurious two-story villa features just five well-appointed accommodations with private terraces and panoramic ocean views. The property also features an outdoor pool, cabanas, tiki bar, and access to kayaks and paddle boards for easy ocean exploration.
After getting hit hard by Hurricane Maria, this acclaimed resort has bounced back thanks to a meticulous renovation. Set on a former plantation, Dorado Beach is arguably Puerto Rico’s most exclusive enclave — you’ll see few other travelers besides resort guests at the all-suite property (talk about honeymoon perks!).
The property’s West Beach Plunge Reserve is the room to book for honeymooners. Highlights include floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors, beach access, terrace, oversized bathroom, and private plunge pool.
If you’re looking for a bit more privacy, book a stay at this luxurious resort, situated in a remote corner, just east of San Juan. Expect first-rate amenities like spacious guest rooms with terraces, exceptional restaurants (like Greek-influenced Paros), a full-service spa, tennis courts, and a Robert Trent Jones Jr.-designed golf course.
If you feel inclined to venture off-property, El Yunque National Forest (and its 28,000 acres of spectacular rainforest terrain) is only a short drive away.
Newlyweds in search of a stylish stay will want to drop their bags at Condado Ocean Club in buzzy Condado. Expect whitewashed beach-chic interiors, a picture-perfect beachfront infinity pool, and a terrific on-site restaurant serving up creative Puerto Rican cuisine.
For a unique “food-centric” honeymoon experience, couples should look no further than Hotel El Pretexto. Puerto Rico’s premier culinary farm lodge is situated in the beautiful mountains of Cayey, which is in the central-southeast part of the island. On top of incredible views, food plays a key role in the overall experience. El Pretexto’s farm-to-table restaurant sources many of its fruits and vegetables right from the property.
Couples will find three spacious villas on the property. The private one-room villa is ideal for honeymooners, with its rustic farmhouse design, kitchenette, and private balcony.
This gorgeous oceanside resort is situated along the island’s scenic and lush northwest coast. The hotel’s villa-style accommodations provide ultimate privacy for newlyweds. We’re enthralled with the property’s relaxing plunge pools and lovely outdoor terraces set amidst fragrant higuerillo trees. Overall, your private casita will have 1,500-square-feet of space, including a massive bathroom with separate soaking tubs and showers.
On top of the amazing casita accommodations, the resort features a terrific golf course, farm-to-table restaurant, an open-air bar, swimming pools, and two miles of sandy beaches.
Honeymooners looking for a top-notch boutique hotel experience on the island of Vieques will find it at Malecon House.
Located in the charming village of Esperanza, the inn features 13 cozy guest rooms, many with ocean views, lovely tropical gardens, and incredible views of the surrounding beaches and Esperanza Bay. A short stroll will take couples into the heart of Esperanza with its many boutiques, restaurants, and beach bars.
Newlyweds vacationing on Vieques Island will fall in love with this relaxing retreat overlooking Esperanza Bay. The inn offers 17 well-appointed rooms, each designed and decorated by the owner.
On top of meticulous hilltop grounds, the hotel features a lovely pool and serves an award-winning breakfast daily. The hotel’s courteous staff will help you plan some exciting adventures nearby, from snorkeling to sailing to horseback riding on the beach.
