Caribbean Energy, No Passport Required
San Juan pairs a true Caribbean beach resort scene with one of the most atmospheric historic cities in the Americas. Isla Verde, minutes from Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport, is lined with beachfront hotels on a broad stretch of golden sand, while Old San Juan — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — offers blue cobblestone streets, pastel colonial buildings, and the massive Spanish forts of El Morro and San Cristóbal. As a US territory, Puerto Rico means no passports for US attendees, US dollars, and familiar phone plans, which removes friction for a large group. Days can run on full general sessions, with evenings spent on beachfront receptions, Old San Juan dine-arounds, rum tastings, and salsa — and El Yunque National Forest and the bioluminescent bays are easy excursions.
San Juan removes the usual Caribbean friction — no passports for US attendees, short nonstop flights, and hotels minutes from the airport — while still delivering beach days, a historic city to explore, and a lively dining and nightlife scene. It's easy to keep a working kickoff on schedule and still make the evenings feel like a reward.
