The blue cobblestones of Old San Juan are packed long before lunch. At El Yunque National Forest, the sound of waterfalls carries through the trees. Along the west coast in Rincón, surfers paddle out beneath orange evening skies. Puerto Rico has become one of the Caribbean’s most in-demand destinations, and getting there is about to […]
Turquoise water just offshore, a beach club pouring cocktails a few steps from the sand, and a reef you can swim out to in minutes — that’s the setup at Delfins Beach Resort, part of Hilton’s Tapestry Collection, where rates have dropped to $130 per night for stays from June 12 to June 15, based on what we found […]
Rodney Bay is where the island of Saint Lucia gets its energy. The marina fills with boats. Restaurants line the waterfront. Music carries out from bars late into the night.

There aren’t many hotels in the Caribbean like this. Right on Nassau Harbour, in the center of downtown, the British Colonial has always been one of the most important addresses in The Bahamas.
