La Concha Resort & Casino del Mar
Once upon a time……is back again! Now under the Renaissance brand.
Selected by Conde Nast Traveler as 2008 ‘s Puerto Rico’s hottest spot, La Concha Resort welcomes you to its sun-splashed corner of prime Caribbean beachfront in San Juan’s most elegant district, Condado, 15 minutes or less from Old San Juan and from many other tourist destination and business districts.
A retro urban showcase and architectural landmark, originally built in 1958 and now completely re-imagined for the 21st century after years of painstaking work and a $220 million investment, La Concha Resort’s cool, edgy, Latino chic lifestyle projects passionate and soulful hospitality and impeccable service in a playful and innovative environment.
But you can’t feel all that on your computer screen, can you? Guess you’ll have to come on down on the next flight to Puerto Rico – there are dozens daily from all major US hubs – or you can get a head start by clicking on the links at left. Go ahead, let us show you why we are the coolest, hottest resort in the Caribbean today! We hope you will fully enjoy your sojourn in our garden of delights.
Destination
Come to Puerto Rico and leave everything behind. Leave your passport too. And your pocket translator!
Puerto Rico offers so much more than fun in the sun – though if that’s your goal, there’s plenty of pristine white sand beaches to go around. It’s home to 500-year-old Spanish forts and colonial cities, the third largest river cavern system in the world, the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. National Parks system, superb scuba diving in dazzling reefs, championship golf courses with ocean views… and La Concha Resort!
The local climate is tropical, with temperature ranges from 85ºF to 95ºF (29°C – 35°C) year round. The Island’s political status is a Commonwealth of the US, so no passport or visa is required for US citizens or legal residents. The US dollar is legal tender in Puerto Rico, and though Spanish is the primary language, English is widely spoken.
