Since its opening in 1993, the El Conquistador and Golden Door Spa—or El Con, as those in the know call the course and resort—has set the gold standard for golf in Puerto Rico. The only AAA Five Diamond resort on the island, it is a 500-acre complex consisting of five villages that sits on the northeast tip where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Caribbean Sea. The resort’s architecture reflects 400 years of Spanish influence, from the ornamental Moorish flavor of Southern Spain to Old San Juan Spanish Colonial. The main village features cobblestone streets, white stucco and terra-cotta buildings, open-air plazas, gas lamps and sparkling fountains decorate many of the open spaces.
The Grand Hotel is at the center of it all with panoramic views and special club amenities. Las Casitas Village is an ultra-luxurious Spanish colonial haven with private pools and butler service. Las Olas Village is built into the side of a cliff and offers breathtaking views. La Marina Village overlooks the sea and is just steps away from the marina. Naturally, for golfers the crown jewel is the 18-hole Arthur Hills championship course, which features dramatic elevation changes and stunning views of the El Yunque rainforest and the Caribbean. In a word, majestic. wyndham.com
