On Puerto Rico's northeastern coast in Coco Beach, five-star Gran Gran Meliá Puerto Rico takes a fresh approach to the all-encompassing resort stay with exclusively appointed amenities, gourmet dining and endless options for recreation. The 44-acre property, set minutes from famous El Yunque National Rain Forest, is highlighted by golden sands, a lagoon-style swimming pool, sophisticated architecture and elegant public spaces. Guests also find a full-service casino and a spa fusing indigenous and European-style treatments.

Close to 500 oversize suites present views of cobalt-blue Caribbean waters, lush mountain ranges and verdant golf greens. From cozy bungalows and villas to deluxe guest and presidential suites, resort accommodations provide custom mahogany furniture, spacious baths and private terraces or balconies. Newlyweds can reserve one of the honeymoon suites, each with a large veranda and double Jacuzzi. Couples seeking even more privacy appreciate the Garden Villas, with their walled terraces, gardens and swimming pools.

Unparalleled comfort and luxury is found within the Royal Service Suites, where guests are treated to butler service, a personal concierge and a private lounge for check-in and checkout. Other special touches include daily breakfast buffet, evening cocktails and hors d'oeuvres, as well as a pillow menu.

While it may be tempting to spend all day inside making the most of the sumptuous amenities, the surf and sand just steps away beckon couples to come out and play. The resort's palm-fringed beach invites a range of non-motorized water sports, such as snorkeling, kayaking, and windsurfing. Golfers can sign up for tee-times on the championship courses at nearby Trump International Golf Club Puerto Rico, located only minutes from the resort.

Gran Meliá Puerto Rico can host weddings of up to 1,100 guests in a number of stunning indoor and outdoor venues, including an elegant ballroom, an oceanside terrace, a pool deck and garden sites overlooking the sea. Several wedding and honeymoon packages allow couples to custom-design their destination event, with an on-staff Romance Specialist on hand to orchestrate all important details, such as the venue decor, reception dinner menu, wedding cake, photography services and entertainment.
