Girls and guys can gather their favorite friends and family and escape to two resorts in Puerto Rico for a girls’ or guys’ only getaway. Now through Dec. 22, 2013, El Conquistador Resort & Las Casitas Village, A Waldorf Astoria Resort and El San Juan Resort & Casino are offering a Girls’ and Guys’ Getaway package for friends to reconnect and spend quality time together.

Puerto Rico is considered one of the top Caribbean destinations to host meetings and events, thanks to over 270 miles of white-sand beaches, balmy temperatures throughout the year, tropical flavors and rhythms, rich cultural heritage, and of course, the island’s easy, no-passport-needed accessibility from all U.S. hubs.

El San Juan Resort & Casino announces the appointment of Israel Calderon as executive chef. An award-winning chef, Calderon will oversee the resort’s culinary operation including the property managed restaurants - La Terraza, Acquaire, and Encanto Beach Club & Grill, the Lobby Bars, room service, catering and special events, always ensuring a consistent culinary experience for guests and diners.

El San Juan Resort & Casino today unveiled its newest bar and lounge additions, taking Puerto Rico’s nightlife to a new level. The legendary resort, renowned for its A-list clientele including Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce, Jay Z and Chris Evans, now boasts the Tequila and Rum Bar at the Gold Bar, and the Chico Lounge.
