Hotel Video Tours: Gran Melia Puerto Rico

Where: 1000 Coco Beach Boulevard, Rio Grande, Puerto Rico

The Gran Melia Puerto Rico is a bit isolated, but hey, that is what many island goers are looking for. While you won't find the all night antics of San Juan right outside your door, you will find ping pong, pool, kid size chess, beautiful. Oh, and forgive us for the shaky walking, no, no one was drinking.

Location:
Northeast of the island, between San Juan and Fujardo. You are going to need a car if you stay here and want to explore the island. Coco Beach is nearby, but for everything else you will have to drive down to the highway and drive the 45 minutes to San Juan, or points beyond.

Neighborhood:
Golf course and ocean.

Pool:
Not extremely crowded, very spread out. There is a swim up bar, pool side games, and island music playing. Yes, there were kids in the pool, but not an overwhelming amount of kids. Besides, the pool leads into the rocky beach, and further down you will find a sandy beach, point being, there is plenty of space to find a quiet spot on the grounds.

What are they reading poolside?
Into The Wild

What is the crowd like?
Honeymooners. The all-inclusive crowd. Family travelers and leisure travelers.

Rates
This is typically an all-inclusive resort but you can stay just one night starting at $300. However, beware as extras like internet will cost more.
