Stay at Verdanza Hotel, Isla Verde, PR. All the service personnel were friendly and eager to accommodate my needs, making me feel comfortable and at home.I will definitely stay at Verdanza the next time I travel to PR. It’s currently being remodeled, so when I return, it will be even more beautiful.

The class was fun.The only downside was I didn’t get the email before the class & I couldn’t find the location. The class was a lot of fun. We just couldn’t find the location with the address listed. The instructor called us to confirm as we were about to leave.
