I enjoyed an all-paid for 4-day holiday in Puerto Rico with my partner in 2001. 4 days was just too short a stay, but we still had a wonderful time and both left Puerto Rico hoping we will be able to return one day.

El Conquistador Resort & Golden Door Spa

We stayed at the El Conquistador Resort & Golden Door Spa on the northeastern coast of Puerto Rico. The resort is made up of 4 main areas: The Grand Hotel, Las Casitas Village, Las Olas villages and La Marina Village. We had a wonderful room in La Marina Village with a small, private terrace overlooking the marina. La Marina Village is connected to the other areas via a funicular, which offers fantastic views over the ocean.

“I am just so happy”, Mrs. Amorella almost sang with a beaming smile. And who wouldn’t be, we were in the back of her white, minivan taxi on a beautiful, bright, sunny – no hot actually – October day in Curaçao on our way to colourful Willemstad. And if that didn’t put us in a good mood, then the news of Mrs. Amorella’s son passing his exam in far-away Amsterdam, or rather her reaction to the news had to bring a smile to anyone’s face.

Mrs. Amorella’s enthusiasm and friendliness became typical of our two-week stay on the small, Caribbean island just above Venezuela. The friendliness of the people on Curaçao is a rare gem in a tourist-fatigued world.
