The Fairmont El San Juan Hotel has been lauded as one of the top resorts in Puerto Rico by Travel + Leisure readers in 2023, and its new “Best in Class, Epicurean Retreat Package” is the epitome of luxury and indulgence.

Arriving in Style

The journey starts the moment you land at Puerto Rico’s Luis Muñoz Marin International Airport. As part of the package, guests receive personal car service straight from the airport to the hotel. The seamless transition from the plane to your luxurious accommodations sets the tone for what’s to come.

Accommodations with a View

During your stay, choose from either the Ocean Villa Rooms or Presidential Suites, both offering stunning ocean views and luxurious amenities. I personally stayed in an Ocean Villa and reveled in the serene beauty of the waves while enjoying the sunrise from my private balcony. The sound of coqui frogs in the evening made for a peaceful, calming environment perfect for unwinding.

Exclusive Culinary Experiences

One of the highlights of the Epicurean Retreat is the access to the island’s finest culinary offerings. Each guest is assigned a personal concierge before arrival who curates a dining experience tailored to individual tastes and dietary preferences. From gourmet dinners to mixology classes at Ron del Barrilito distillery, the package ensures every meal is a memorable experience.

Island Adventures

Beyond the resort’s walls, guests can embark on extraordinary adventures. One such offering is a private yacht trip to Icacos Island, complete with a personal chef preparing a lavish beachside feast. Here, you can bask in the sun, sip signature cocktails, and enjoy the tranquil beauty of this secluded paradise. The experience is truly the pinnacle of luxury and relaxation.

Exploring Old San Juan

The package includes a guided walking tour of Old San Juan, where guests can explore the historic streets, visit iconic landmarks, and absorb the rich cultural heritage of the area. This tour culminates at the Ron del Barrilito distillery for a fascinating mixology class, perfect for those who appreciate fine spirits and unique Puerto Rican history.

Dining at Caña

No trip is complete without experiencing the exceptional cuisine offered at Caña, the resort’s premier restaurant. Here, guests enjoy elevated takes on traditional Puerto Rican dishes like roast pork and mofongo, all paired with exquisite local rums and wines. The ambiance is both intimate and vibrant, providing the perfect setting for a memorable culinary experience.
