(I exchanged texts with their driver, who discovered me after I deplaned — it was seamless.) The bundle features a seven-night keep in certainly one of Fairmont El San Juan’s Ocean Villa Rooms or Presidential Suites. Each rooms have unimaginable ocean views and soaking tubs. I stayed in an Ocean Villa and loved watching the waves whereas engaged on the balcony at dawn. At evening, whistle calls of coqui frogs lulled me to sleep. 

A private concierge reached out to me (and all Epicurean Retreat Bundle vacationers) earlier than arrival, so every time I sat all the way down to dine, the menu had already taken under consideration my dietary restrictions and preferences. The brand new bundle permits visitors to entry the island’s finest culinary choices in addition to high-end experiences like a non-public yacht tour to Icacos Island. I arrived on the marina for the yacht tour in a sprinter van and was then ushered to the yacht by golf cart. An government chef and different Fairmont staffers awaited. We rode to the beautiful Icacos Island to sip the resort’s signature cocktails on the remoted seaside. The employees erected an expensive miniature seaside membership, full with wicker followers, coolers of Veuve Clicquot, and comfortable cushions sitting within the white sand. For lunch, I waded into the turquoise waters for a feast of large shrimp, caviar galore, steak, and lobster tails.

On a strolling tour of Outdated San Juan — one other bundle providing — I ended by the stroll of fame and admired the church buildings and enduring sea partitions. The mist of the ocean kissed my face earlier than I moved on to a mixology class at Ron del Barrilito distillery. Based in 1880, the house of the oldest Puerto Rican rum was a captivating detour. The scents rising via their sherry casks had been divine. The bundle wrapped up with an beautiful meal at on-site restaurant Caña, the place I tucked into elevated takes on classics like roast pork and mofongo.
