Play your cards right at the casino, one of the largest on the island, or perfect your game on the tennis courts or driving range. Take a dip in the freeform pool. A 27-hole golf course is opening in spring 2003 as well. As many as 1,400 conventioneers can be accommodated here, and all guests can take advantage of the fitness center, the international and local cuisine, and daytrips to historic Ponce, a majestic 16th-century city.
