Caribbean Sun

Two weeks ago, The Maine House Group enjoyed some fun in the sun at the El Conquistador Resort in Puerto Rico. We arrived at San Juan International Airport around 9am and caught the shuttle to the resort which was about an hour away. The resort was on an ocean cliff with breathtaking views. The resort had everything from restaurants and shops to a golf course and water park.

On Friday night we enjoyed a buffet pirate-themed dinner on Palomino Island. The following morning was the charity dodge ball tournament. Despite being heavily favored to win, our team unfortunately was humbled in the first round on some questionable line calls. But, no excuses, the best team won the tournament and we’ll be back next year. It’s always nice to have a little break from all the hard work and enjoy a little relaxation time in the Caribbean. Check out some of the pictures.

The view from the room. There were three pools over looking the sea, one with a volleyball net.

Arriving on a boat to Palomino Island for some swimming and some lunch on the beach. Aside from a few jelly fish, it was a near perfect afternoon.
