Totally New Website for Travel Services
A long awaited overhaul of the firm’s website was completed last month. For the new look, including many more photos and far more complete tariff information go to www.destinationpuertorico.com. It’s the same address, but all new material.
Giving Back to the Community
The employees at Travel Services are actively supporting various local and national charitable causes through a program that encourages the wearing of blue-jeans the first Friday of each month. The privilege is earned through making a $5.00 donation for the selected charity for that month. Pretty much the entire office team participates. Past organizations that the firm has supported include the Susan B. Kohner Can-cer Fund, the Puerto Rico Food Bank, and La Casa Protegida Julia de Burgos which tends to abused chil-dren and women. It’s gratifying to see that a genuine spirit of giving has developed amongst all of the firm’s office employees.

Rumors Regarding the Sales of Westin Rio Mar Persist

New Restaurants in SoFo
There are three new dining options available in the trendy South Fortaleza street area of old San Juan, each with a very distinct style. Marmalade offers an elegant yet contemporary gastronomic experience, blend-ing seasonal refreshing ingredient driven Napa Valley cuisine (Californian French or Cuisine de Terre). They offer wine pairing with each course. Chef/owner Peter Schintler’s experience includes working under six Masterchefs from France to Asia and he’s won various accolades in his own right including naming his Res-taurant Blue one of the ten best hotel restaurants in the word.
Basiliko offers Mediterranean cuisine designed to be shared along with an extensive wine list. Their lighting (dim and provocative) creates a very chic, trendy and elegant atmosphere. Their second and third floors offer an opportunity for after dinner drinks and dancing.
Sonné has a casual ambiance yet it is stylish, with colorful décor including artwork covering the walls. Their international menu includes a cool blend of Caribbean, Italian and Asian influence. And their bar offerings include Passion Fruit and Key Lime Pie Martinis.
