Puerto Rico!

Congrats to Terri B who correctly guessed my fav vacation spot!

Puerto Rico is definitely one of my favorite spots* to vacation - but it's got to be at this resort and this resort only! They know how to pamper their guests, and how to help them relax and enjoy everything their exclusive location has to offer.

We stayed at a villa in Las Casitas Village, which is part of the El Conquistador resort. Actually, it is a bit more wallet-friendly to stay at the hotel as opposed to the villas (and the hotel has undergone a huge renovation since we were there). But I was lucky to get a price break at the villas in 2006 when I booked one for my mother and I... maybe it was a temporary price reduction, or perhaps just a boo-boo with their online prices. In any event, we got a villa for $169/night, AND they didn't charge us for a 3rd person when we added my sister at the last minute. That $169 split 3 ways was mucho reasonable!


Click through the links I provided, and check them both out - it's gorgeous there! The hotel is offering rates as low as $149/night and a special fall package with a 4th night free.

Thank you to everyone who commented and guessed. My brain is conjuring up future giveaways, so stay tuned for more opportunities to win goodies that'll put a cheery spin on dreary winter days!

*Puerto Rico is not my ONLY favorite vacation spot
I have others, such as Hawaii and Mexico.
Actually, the more I think about it, my favorite list could be pretty long...

    Congrats Terri! Ok, so I was a little (lot) off, but it was still fun! Hmmm, honestly had never considered Puerto Rico for a vacation (ours are so rare it's not even funny). The prices sound doable - just need to figure out how to get there! :) -Tammy

    I guessed correctly, just a little too late! I was in Puerto Rico in 2000, and it is truly beautiful! I remember the rain forest, the fort, the cokie frogs (sic), the beautiful beaches and the Bacardi factory tour with samples at the end! Your pictures had the "feel" of the place, that's how I guessed!

    Oh how I wish to go to Puerto Rico! I bet if I had gone there before coming to Ohio, I may have never left. Hey..Latin men can be really hot and those words rolling off their tongues seem to melt...Umm trying to focus..I think the winters are starting to get to me.
    Although my Best friend has been longing for an all girls vacation somewhere tropical. Somewhere with an ocean beach.Somewhere we can sip margarita's all day and enjoy the many...MANY views..LOL....I am keeping those links for future possibilities.

    Part of my family has an aversion to camping out and the other doesn't (me)..but I'd love to do what you did and I think your photos (I mentioned on your earlier post) are terrific! I love that lizard..probably not the exact name but it's great. Hey, I wanted to also say thanks for your comments(The World in Black & White. My best-
