Fauna and History

Gran Melia Puerto Rico is located in the most sought-after area on the island of Puerto Rico. Set against a wonderful tropical paradise on the northeastern coast of the Miquillo de Rio Grande Peninsula in Coco Beach, the resort is only 35 minutes away from Luis Munoz Marin International Airport, 30 minutes from San Juan's business and financial district, 40 minutes from the historic colonial city of Old San Juan, and just a few minutes away from the El Yunque rainforest.

Puerto Rico

While Old San Juan has always been renowned for its rich culture and historic attractions, the rest of the city has struggled to find its own identity away from its port; until now... San Juan has undergone a transformation and is now considered to be a "hot and happening" place for visitors of all ages. With chic new hotels and trendy dining spots, San Juan reaches the height of Latin sophistication.

Old San Juan

Walking the blue cobblestone streets is the only way to appreciate the history and atmosphere of this tiny fortified area. This Hispanic heritage lives on in the colorful buildings, the art, the food, and the music and is preserved in the many museums and galleries that must be seen. The imposing forts of San Felipe del Morro and San Cristobal are a constant reminder of their Spanish and colonial past and a must see for all visitors.

San Juan Beach and Resort Area

Starts just ten minutes from historic Old San Juan and extends eastwards along the Atlantic coast to the Luis Munoz Marin International Airport. The popular neighborhoods of Condado, Miramar, Ocean Park, and Isla Verde are where you will find most of the international hotels, the mid-range properties, and more modest small inns. A huge range of restaurants, nightclubs, bars, chic boutiques, shopping malls, and spas abound, not to mention the wonderful beaches! Cultural highlights are found in the Luis A Ferre Performing Arts Center and the Puerto Rico Art Museum.
