Why it’s a deal: In a recent Kayak search, we found a round-trip airfare between Boston and San Juan for $241 in early February (American). The hotel costs about $202 per room per night. Booking independently, you could expect to pay about $847 per person. You'll save $160 by booking this package, plus your hotel transfers are included.
Lodging: The Four Points by Sheraton Resort & Casino at Palmas Del Mar will be your base for the six-night stay. Palmas del Mar, a beach resort community, is outside the town of Humacao and about 45 minutes southeast of San Juan.
The Four Points' 107 rooms have standard amenities, free Wi-Fi and private balconies. It's steps from the beach and has a golf course, tennis courts, an outdoor heated pool, a children's pool, a restaurant, lounges and, of course, a casino.
