The Caribe Hilton's family allure boils down to one thing: location, location, location. Situated on 17 acres between historic Old San Juan and the Condado beach resort district, about 15 minutes from the international airport, it's close to historic attractions but oceanfront on its own secluded beach. The large, recently renovated resort offers 812 units, including 168 studio to two-bedroom villas with full kitchens. On property there are seven restaurants, three tennis courts, a big oceanfront pool complex, a spa, and a casino.

Why Families Love It:
Want to borrow board games, electronic handheld games, or toys? The hotel's Kidz Paradise desk, open seven days a week year-round, has got you covered. Camp Coco offers supervised play for kids age four to 12 in the summer and over the winter holidays, weekdays 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., at a cost of $40 per day. Campers might head to the special children's play area at the beachfront pool complex, or visit island attractions such as Fort San Geronimo, a 16th-century Spanish fortress. Led by bilingual counselors, campers also make crafts and play sports. Parents and kids can participate together in a host of daily resort activities such as fish feeding, bingo, and lessons in Spanish or dancing. Kids also enjoy visiting the resort's bird sanctuary.

As part of Hilton's Very Important Children program in the Caribbean, guests under the age of five receive complimentary meals and ages five to 12 get free breakfast plus a 50 percent discount on other meals when dining with an adult.
