Families looking for an upscale getaway in Puerto Rico would be wise to check out the San Juan Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino. The pampering at this Marriott rivals any 5-star resort, albeit in the more urban setting of San Juan (rather than a private, remote part of Puerto Rico).
The San Juan Marriott Resort is considered by some to be the best family-friendly luxury resort in Puerto Rico's capital city. As with most resorts in the Marriott family, there are often great vacation deals and hotel packages that save money and enrich the family vacation experience. The Best Family Vacation Ever package is one stellar example.
The Best Family Vacation Ever Package at the San Juan Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino
This package includes a full four-night family vacation package that starts at $270/night for a family of four. That's less than $70 a person. The Best Family Vacation Ever Package also includes transportation to and from the San Juan International Airport. There is turn-down service at this hotel, and families reserving this package will find milk and cookies along with the standard chocolate-on-the-pillow in their rooms. Also included in this generous vacation package is a Bioluminescent Bay nighttime kayaking tour for four; Bioluminescent Bay glows at night because of the phosphorescent micro-organisms living there.
Another family-friendly aspect of this San Juan Marriott hotel package is the treat of a day at historic El Morro Fort, complete with picnic lunch boxes and kites. Last, guests reserving a Best Family Vacation Package at the San Juan Marriott have the option of having a short (under one minute) family vacation video filmed and viewable on San Juan Marriott's YouTube channel. This package is good through November 30, 2010. However, should it prove popular, it's sure to come back.
The San Juan Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino Overview
There are 513 rooms and 12 suites at this resort hotel, which was named Best of the Best for quality and service by the Puerto Rico Tourism Company. Recent renovations make the San Juan Marriott fresh and clean, and the Caribbean decor adds a sense of place to the interior. The toddler pool is only around a foot and a half deep, and the adjacent 4-foot deep pool has a twisting water slide.
The hotel concierge can help arrange off-property activities that include horseback riding, scuba diving, kayaking and sailing. There is nightly live entertainment in the lobby lounge. All the child-friendly activities, fine dining, and entertainment make it clear: The San Juan Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino is a great choice for families planning an affordable luxury vacation in Puerto Rico.
