Palmas Del Mar
A Puerto Rico resort expands

From the April 22, 2002 Issue of New York

Renovating after Hurricane Georges, the owners of Puerto Rico's Palmas del Mar Resort & Villas added 152 spacious one-, two-, and three-bedroom Caribbean casitas that now constitute the Candelero Resort, 45 minutes by car from San Juan. Once there, stock your fridge from the local store, then head for the beach just a short walk away. Or rent a cart and cruise to the Candelero golf course, abutting the sea. In the event of rain, sip rum on your balcony or take a taxi to the El Yunque rain forest, where a two-hour climb through the drenched jungle dispels any thoughts of the urban one you left behind.
