Puerto Rico: A Guide to Marriott Hotels for Your Next Island Getaway
The Charm of Puerto Rico
The evening salsa of Old San Juan. The cheerful twilight chirp of the coqui frog. The decadent delight that is mofongo. The lush greenery, cascading waterfalls, and diverse wildlife of El Yunque.
Why Puerto Rico?
There are countless reasons why Puerto Rico is one of the most popular places to visit in the Caribbean. In the last four years, Puerto Rico has been booming, with travelers drawn to its unique mix of culture, beach, cuisine, art, and adventure (and golf, too), both to cosmopolitan hotspots like San Juan and beachy getaways like Dorado.

That’s where Marriott comes in. The company has a broad collection of places to stay in Puerto Rico, with a stay for every type of island vacation — and every kind of traveler, charming stays and family getaways to luxurious, one-of-a-kind retreats.
Our Favorite Marriott Hotels in Puerto Rico
San Juan Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino
You’re sitting on your balcony, staring out at the Atlantic blue, listening to nothing but the ethereal froth of Puerto Rican waves. But you’re also right in the heart of one of the most energetic, entertaining neighborhoods in the Caribbean: Condado, the hip beachfront enclave, trendy restaurants, and nightlife spot in San Juan. And this is the best way to experience it. Simply put, the San Juan Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino is a classic, set in one of our favorite places in Puerto Rico: Condado, the vibrant, coastal San Juan neighborhood that effortlessly blends urban cool with laid-back beach vibes. It’s a terrific stretch of beach, the pool scene is lively but low-key (there’s a waterslide, too) and the food is terrific. Good for family vacations, girlfriend getaways, destination weddings.
The St. Regis Bahia Beach
It may be less than 40 minutes from San Juan by car, but The St. Regis Bahia Beach Resort feels like another universe, with nearly 500 acres at the edge of the island’s legendary El Yunque rainforest. The two-mile beach alone is worth the trip. But it’s just the beginning: There’s the golf course, an Audubon-certified wonder designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr; the resplendent awarded Iridium Spa; the impressive culinary program, led by the Greek-specialty Paros (and, of course, the signature St. Regis Bar). But the story here really is the environment — this is an escape from the ordinary, from the Caribbean you know, and a journey into a world of intoxicating, pristine natural beauty. Good for luxury vacations, multigenerational trips, and wellness retreats.
Sheraton Puerto Rico Resort & Casino
It’s the best urban resort in Puerto Rico for business and pleasure, thanks to its prime position directly adjacent to the Convention Center District and steps away from the entertainment site Distrito T-Mobile, minutes from historic Old San Juan, cruise terminals, and San Juan beaches. But what you may not know is that it’s also a terrific, full-service resort that’s also a great value. There’s everything here, from on-site eateries like the new Mutuo Sabor Nikkei to our favorite casino in San Juan to a sleek rooftop pool deck with tropical landscaping. Complimentary shuttle is available to Old San Juan and Escambron Beach every day from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Good for weekend trips, value vacations, and gaming getaways.
Dorado Beach, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve
It’s not just one of the best luxury resorts in the Caribbean; it’s also one of the most diverse. Looking for a golf getaway? It’s home to three championship golf courses. Want a wellness retreat? The Spa Botanico is a full-fledged destination spa replete with a treehouse treatment room. Seeking a foodie trip? You can dine around to your heart’s content: the Mediterranean-focused Flor de Sal; Chef Masato’s Omakase tasting room; a Latin-Asian fusion beach spot; or make your way through thousands of the world’s best bottles at La Cava inside the Coa restaurant. Good for romantic escapes, couples retreat, and groups.
Aloft San Juan
If you haven’t been to Distrito T Mobile, well, it’s the coolest thing to hit the capital in years. A mixed-use entertainment and food destination, it’s got everything from a concert venue to celebrity chef spots to a zip line. (Yes, a zip line). And right inside the town’s newest hotspot is a sleek, modern boutique hotel. This is the Aloft San Juan, catering to travelers looking for a lively social scene, with all of the Aloft touches you like: the WYXZ Bar, the Re:Mix lounge, a fitness center, and a great outdoor pool deck. You can even get complimentary shuttle service to Old San Juan and Escambron Beach daily from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Good for millennial travelers, cultural immersion, traveling with pets, and group getaways.
