    Itinerary

    Day 1 Welcome to Puerto Rico!

    Touch down in gorgeous Puerto Rico! Enjoy a comfortable transfer to your hotel right near San Juan, get settled, then head outside for some sun. Boasting four pristine pools and two-miles of beach access, there's tons of places for you to have fun and relax at the Fairmont El San Juan Hotel. You can sip on your favorite cocktail at their swim-up bars, or lounge back with poolside service.

    Decorated to reflect the vibrant nightlife in the 60's in Puerto Rico, the hotel features island culture decor and classic mixology in their bars, as well as live entertainment like DJ parties. Ask the hotel staff about what events are happening during your stay, and don't miss out on these opportunities to experience Puerto Rico's lively culture.

    Day 2 Puerto Rico

    Right on the award-winning Isla Verde Beach, you'll find the extravagant El San Juan Beach Club Restaurant and Bar. After relaxing on the beach and dipping your toes in the ocean, head over to the Beach Club for delicious coastal cuisine surrounded by beautiful beach scenery. You may also wish to get your adrenaline racing with aquatic activities like parasailing and jet skiing, or simply sun bathe by the pool.

    Make sure to check out the hotel's iconic BRAVA nightclub, or visit the famed 15,000-square-foot Foxwoods El San Juan Casino.

    Day 3 Puerto Rico

    No trip to Puerto Rico is complete without strolling through the historically charming streets of Old San Juan, which conveniently is just a few minutes away from the Fairmont El San Juan Hotel. Travel back in time as you walk through the oldest city in the U.S., filled with cobblestone streets and pastel-colored buildings.

    As for what to do in Old San Juan, make sure to check out the 16th century El Morro fortress, or the equally impressive Castillo San Cristóbal fortress. You can also visit the Casa Blanca museum, or appreciate the architecture of Catedral de San Juan.

    Alternatively, pay a visit to the Bacardi Rum Distillery where you can experience a once-in-a-lifetime rum tour and/or create your own bottle! Enjoy another night of delicious dining at your hotel's premier restaurants featuring international and local cuisine, and rest well for your trip home tomorrow.

    Day 4 Depart Puerto Rico

    Your trip to Puerto Rico has come to an end – it's time to pack up your souvenirs, take your transfer to the airport, and board your flight home.

    There were six of us all traveling together which I had made clear when I called GVV. Our tour did not include transfers, which was not made known to us. Can you imagine 6 old ladies winding up in a foreign country trying to find out how to get to their hotels, train stations, etc., what a disaster! You also had us traveling on different times on the trains between cities which was not brought to our attention and was a disaster.

    I hate to give bad reviews, but if this review will help in better customer service, it’s worth a try.

    Booking travel deals online can be hectic because you don’t have a direct contact person. You call a 800- number if there is a issue and you get who you get.
    I had an issue with my PNR number not working when it was time to
    Check in for the plane and because it took me almost 2 hours when I finally got checked in, we were the last seats on the very back of the airplane. Well you deal with it because you’re going to Hawaii.. just happy to have a seat.it was frustrating calling the airlines and I was directed back to Great Value ..
    We got that issue resolved.
    Now we get to the hotel and was told the daily resort fee was double the amount that we were quoted.
    The quote we were given verbally over the phone was $29.98 and when we got to the resort it was 59.98 . It wasn’t a issue with the price , it’s the inconsistency of getting the correct info when you call and it’s not explained thoroughly in the paper work, and hotels aren’t to kind when you book thru 3rd party contracts. It appears everything is a good price but you are on the bottom of the totem pole for everything .. plane rides .. very last group and seat , back of the hotel airport bag fees.. not so sure this was a great value and no one cares after they get your money . I’m still waiting for a Manager to call me back and my vacation is over

    Overall, this was a very nice trip. The hotels were all good quality and the train departure times were good. My only complaint was that while the hotel in Budapest was very nice, it was pretty far from all the sites we wanted to visit. The other hotels were in good locations. The value of the package was excellent.
